The game started with a lot of promise for the Whitecaps, they were undefeated, playing at home, and came out strong as they put quite a few shots on goaltender Katie Burt. Amanda Leveille didn’t see her first shot until 5:15 when Emily Field finally got the puck directly on net. Then Jordan Smelker took a cross-checking penalty at 7:33 and things started to go downhill for Minnesota. Amanda Pelkey had a breakaway attempt, which Leveille denied, and killing the penalty boosted Boston’s confidence enough they went on the offensive. That never truly stopped for the rest of the game.
