Susanna Tapani scored just 45 seconds into the second period, giving Boston the 2-1 lead. Megan Keller and Kaleigh Franklin grabbed the assists. The goal was Tapani’s first goal since being traded to Boston earlier in the month from Minnesota. The goal also proved to be the game winner. Captain Hilary Knight netted an insurance goal 13:49 into the third, which is how this contest ended.
