Kendall Coyne Schofield scored the game-winning goal in the sixth minute of play and Maddie Rooney earned her second shutout as the Minnesota Frost blanked the Ottawa Charge 5-0 on Friday night in a PWHL game played on the home ice of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes.

The Lenovo Center in Raleigh, N.C., hosted 10,782 fans for the league’s Takeover Tour game.

Ottawa scored eight goals and the teams combined for 11 in their last meeting, but Schofield wasted little time putting the Frost in front for good, beating starting goalkeeper Emerance Maschmeyer at the 5:47 mark of the first period. Brooke McQuigge scored in the 16th minute and Denisa Křížová scored two minutes later and Minnesota led 3-0 after a period.
