Montréal Victoire defeated the Minnesota Frost 2-1 in Game 5 to clinch the series and advance to the PWHL Walter Cup Final against the Ottawa Charge. Goaltender Ann-Renée Desbiens stopped 25 of 26 shots in the deciding game, and veteran Marie-Philip Poulin provided the key offensive contribution.

Let’s go Charge! I of course want Ottawa to win but if they don’t, I’d rather see Pou get the Walter Cup than Curl!

ALL-CANADIAN PWHL FINAL For the first time in PWHL history, two Canadian teams will compete for the Walter Cup after Montreal defeated Minnesota. Ottawa defeated Boston the other night. Marie-Philip Poulin scored the game-winning goal for Montreal tonight.

It will be Montreal Victoire vs. Ottawa Charge in the PWHL Walter Cup Finals. This is the first time a higher seed has won a PWHL playoff series And we will have a new champ, as Minnesota is eliminated

Media outlets and even PWHL teams can’t seem to decide between Walter Cup Final and Finals (and I don’t blame them) but per the PWHL website it’s FINALS.

The Montreal Victoire have advanced to the Walter Cup Finals after beating the Minnesota Frost 2-1 in regulation. Montreal will meet the Ottawa Charge, and for the first time in PWHL history, it will be an all-Canadian Finals. The Walter Cup is coming to Canada.

Very unusual but grateful for the PWHL to announce dates for Games 3 and 4 of the Walter Cup final (May 18, 20 in Ottawa) since we won't know Ottawa's opponent until tonight. #PWHL
