What you need to know for Sceptres-Frost PWHL semi-final matchup
Article content Round two of the Toronto-Minnesota playoff rivalry begins Wednesday night at Coca Cola Coliseum in Toronto. Article content Article content The Sceptres finished the regular season in second place overall, but lost three of their final four games clinching home ice for the first round on the second to final game of the year. Article content The Frost needed back-to-back regulation wins in their final two games just to get into the playoffs and got those with convincing victories over Ottawa and Boston knocking out the Fleet in the process. Article content Article content Here's a look at how the series shapes up: Article content THE HISTORY Article content Toronto won the first two games of the best-of-five tilt a year ago but couldn't close it out as Minnesota won three in a row to advance to the Final where they defeated the Fleet to become the first PWHL champions. Article content The season series this year saw Minnesota take four of the six head-to-head matches, outscoring Toronto 20-14 in those six games combined. The Sceptres outscored the Frost 5-4 on the power play. Article content WHO TO WATCH Article content Minnesota leans on defenders Sophie Jaques and Claire Thompson to boost their offence and those two finished third and fifth respectively in team scoring so they did fulfill that need. Captain Kendall Coyne Schofield was the leading point getter for the Frost, finishing with 12 goals and 12 assists for 24 points, good enough for a tie for fifth in league scoring. Michela Cava and Britta Curl-Salemme had nine goals each, trailing just their captain in that statistical category. Cava in particular has been a Sceptres killer with four of her nine goals coming against Toronto. Curl-Salemme had three of her nine goals against Toronto. Article content Article content Like Minnesota, Toronto relies heavily on defender Renata Fast to contribute offensively. Fast finished the year third on the team in scoring with six goals and a league-leading 16 assists. Leading the way offensively for Toronto has been Daryl Watts, who finished third among league leaders with 27 points on 12 goals and 15 assists. Next to her was Hannah Miller, who finished with 24 points on 10 goals and 14 assists, much of that coming in the first two-thirds of the season. Article content DON'T FORGET ABOUT Article content On Minnesota, that would be Taylor Heise and Grace Zumwinkle. The two basically carried Minnesota's offence in year one. Heise was still a force in season two, finishing up with 22 points including eight goals, but wasn't as dominant as she was in the PWHL's first season. Zumwinkle missed eight games due to an injury this year and managed just 10 points, but both players are capable of filling the net. Article content For Toronto, the two to watch would be Natalie Spooner and Sarah Nurse. Neither enjoyed banner campaigns in the regular season — Spooner coming off an ACL tear courtesy of the Frost in last year's playoffs and Nurse missing nine games this year with an injury she suffered during Rivalry Series play with Canada. Both continue to build back to their pre-injury form and both are showing signs that form is not far off based on recent play.
