Savannah Harmon and Daryl Watts each scored a goal, Raygan Kirk had 24 saves, and the Toronto Sceptres beat the Minnesota Frost 2-0 on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Sceptres (10-1-5-12), who had lost back-to-back games and four of their last five, are two points behind Ottawa for the fourth and final playoff spot with two games to play.
The Frost (13-3-4-8) have 39 points and, with two games remaining in the regular season, are locked into the No. 3 seed for the upcoming playoffs.
Harmon opened the scoring with a power-play goal at 4:25 of the first period with a wrist shot from the centre point.
Blayre Turnbull, on a breakaway, had a shot stopped by goaltender Maddie Rooney but Watts was there to put away the rebound that gave Toronto a 2-0 lead with 1:58 remaining.
Toronto was 2 for 2 with a one-skater advantage and killed each of the Frost’s five power-play opportunities.
