Game 3 of the Montreal-Boston semifinals series, Montreal leads 1-0 at the end of one period. The desperate visitors have been working hard since the opening puck drop in Lowell, and their efforts were rewarded when Mikyla Grant-Mentis behind the net found captain Marie-Philip Poulin unmarked in the slot & beat the off-balance BOS goalie Aerin Frankel to take the early lead.

This SportsNet story with video describes the Spooner incident. Very sad for Natalie, but maybe motivation for her team to crank up their game & win tonight for the second spot in the Finals.
