Aerin Frankel records another shutout as the Boston Fleet beat the Vancouver
Goldeneyes 2-0
LOWELL, Mass. (AP) --- Laura Kluge scored her first PWHL goal midway through
the second period, Aerin Frankel tied a season high with 35 saves in her sixth
shutout of the season and the Boston Fleet beat the Vancouver Goldeneyes 2-0 on
Tuesday night.
Boston (11-5-2-4), which moved into sole possession of first place, remained
undefeated at the Tsongas Center this season (4-1-0-0) to set a team points
record with 45.
Kluge, in her 33rd career game, tipped a Megan Keller shot past goaltender
Kristen Campbell to open the scoring. The Fleet have scored first in 18 of 22
games this season.
Susanna Tapani added an empty netter with 21.8 seconds left for her fourth goal
in five games since the Olympic break.
Frankel made 29 saves in the second and third periods to help secure her 15th
win of the season. The Fleet tied New York for the most regular-season shutouts
in league history with nine all-time.
Vancouver (6-1-4-11) has been held to just 13 goals in away games this season,
the fewest by any PWHL team.

Vancouver continues its five-game road trip at Toronto on Sunday. The trip ends
