Hilary Knight evened the score with Minnesota.
The team captain netted the game-winning goal 52 seconds into sudden death overtime as Boston defeated Minnesota, 4-3, in the fourth week of Professional Women’s Hockey League action. It marked Boston’s first win on home ice in front of a capacity crowd at Tsongas Center.
After losing its inaugural opener to Minnesota, 3-2, on Jan. 3, Boston was looking for a little retribution and found it in its rematch, taking a 3-1 lead into the first intermission. Minnesota mounted a valiant comeback by tying it in the final seconds of regulation, to force the overtime.
But in the end, it was Knight that ended it potting scoring off a shot from the left hash for the game winner, bringing the large crowd to its feet Saturday.
Also netting goals for Boston were Kaleigh Fratkin, Taylor Girard and Alina Müller.
