OTTAWA, ON (February 13, 2025) – In the highest scoring game in PWHL history, the Ottawa Charge soared to an 8-3 win over the Minnesota Frost at TD Place on Thursday night. Tereza Vanišová’s hat trick and Gabbie Hughes’ two-goal game were among the seven multi-point performances that propelled Ottawa to victory in front of an electric home crowd. During a back-and-forth first period, the Charge opened the scoring with two goals on their first two shots, first from Mannon McMahon and second from Hughes, who tallied her first of the season and Ottawa’s first shorthanded ‘jailbreak’ goal of the campaign. Minnesota responded with two goals of their own from Britta Curl-Salemme and Michela Cava to even the score at the end of the opening period. During the second period, the Charge opened the floodgates by adding four goals to their tally – Hughes netted her second of the night, Vanišová added two of her own, and Victoria Bach notched one more – to put Ottawa up by four heading into the final frame. The Charge further extended their lead in the final period by adding two more goals, the first from captain Brianne Jenner on the power play, and the second from Vanišová for her third of the game. Minnesota managed to find the back of the net late in the game with a goal from Sophie Jaques, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit, as the Charge secured their first win in four games – and their first at TD Place since their home opener on Dec. 3 – to jump into a three-way tie for fourth place in the league with 20 points. Minnesota remains in second position with 26 points.
