ST. PAUL, MN (January 21, 2026) – The Montréal Victoire spoiled the start of the Minnesota Frost’s three-game homestand when Marie Philip-Poulin once again scored a clutch, game-winning goal at 3:03 of overtime on Wednesday night at Grand Casino Arena. Her spinning backhand shot marked the second time this month the captain has been the overtime hero, bringing the Victoire just one point back of the third-place Frost in the standings. Following a scoreless first period that featured multiple chances for both teams, the Victoire’s Maureen Murphy delivered inside the final two minutes of the middle frame as she navigated traffic net-front and redirected a Nicole Gosling shot five-hole. Minnesota was unable to capitalize until the 18:58 mark of the third period when Kelly Pannek tallied to send the game to overtime. Ann-Renée Desbiens shined for the Victoire, stopping 23 of 24 shots in her 11th consecutive start with two or fewer goals allowed this season. Nicole Hensley managed to stop 24 of 26 shots for the second-straight game but suffered her second overtime loss in seven starts this season.
Montréal is back in action at home when they host the Ottawa Charge on Saturday for the first of their last two games heading into the Olympic break. Minnesota will be visited by the New York Sirens on Sunday for a rematch of last Friday’s game when the Frost secured a 3-2 overtime win at Prudential Center.

I got this set for my wife in 2016. She is not a LEGO fan, but she loves watching me build. She built the entire set herself, and one a few tears were involved. It still sits in part of our entertainment center.
As far as secondary market prices, I always look to bricklink. $225 is the current lowest priced new sealed.
