Sunday after the Minnesota Whitecaps had their final home game of the regular season against the Connecticut Whale. Connecticut went with Meeri Räisänen in goal, while Minnesota’s Julie Friend got her first NWHL start of the season. This game, like every other game at the TRIA Rink this season, was sold out and had the stands stacked with excited fans ready to cheer on their team.

Once the puck was dropped the Whitecaps hit the gas and never truly let up, though the Whale had a pretty good first period.
