They just switched roles.
Minnesota secured a 3-2 victory over Boston in the season opener at Tsongas Center on Jan. 3, thwarting a comeback attempt thanks to a fast start in what eventually became the first victory in franchise history. Boston, looking to avoid falling into the same habits that have led to a middling start, got out to an early lead of their own over Minnesota on Saturday, but gave it up and allowed things to go into overtime.
Boston captain Hilary Knight got the game winner in OT, pushing one past Minnesota goaltender Maddie Rooney.
These two squads are going to be fun to watch throughout the remainder of the season.
