Vanisova, Hughes lead explosive Charge to 8-3 win over Frost
OTTAWA — The offensively-starved Ottawa Charge feasted on the Minnesota Frost for an 8-3 slump-busting triumph on Thursday night at TD Place.
Ottawa had scored just eight goals in its previous seven Professional Women’s Hockey League contests before matching that total against the Frost.
The Charge won for just the second time in the past eight games, but both victories have come against Minnesota, the reigning PWHL champions.
Team-leading scorer Tereza Vanišová had a hat trick, while Gabbie Hughes got her first two goals of the season plus an assist to lead the Ottawa outburst. Brianne Jenner, Mannon McMahon and Victoria Bach also scored for the Charge.
