ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Brianne Jenner scored her first PWHL goal less than four minutes into the game, Gwyneth Philips made 22 saves for her first career shutout and the Ottawa Charge beat the Minnesota Frost 1-0 on Tuesday night to end a three-game losing streak.

The Ottawa Charge got things going early in the game and were able to keep the Frost off the board the entire time to clinch the win.
On Tuesday night, the Frost players walked into their locker room wearing jerseys – but not with their own names on the back. They each bore either “Rooney” or “Hensley,” the Frost’s two starting goalies.
Frost coach Ken Klee called a timeout with just over a minute to play in the third period following an icing call against the Charge. Klee pulled his goaltender, but the Frost were unable to get another shot on goal.
Ottawa’s netminder against Minnesota on Jan. 21 made history in a 1-0 shutout. Gwyneth Philips earned not only her first career Professional Women’s Hockey League (PWHL) win, but also did not let any pucks by her on goalie appreciation night.
