Michela Cava and Sophie Jaques scored less than two minutes apart late in the first period and Minnesota beat Boston 3-0 on Tuesday night to even the PWHL championship series at a game apiece.
“It feels amazing [to get the shutout],” Hensley said. “Obviously Maddie has been carrying our team, it’s nice to be able to help out our team and give her a little break.
“It’s huge to get a split on the road, that’s what you’re looking to do in the playoffs. I’m excited to get back to Minnesota and our fans.”
