Here’s the latest on the PWHL frost-victoire game being postponed.
The fifth game of the semifinals between the Minnesota Frost and Montreal Victoire, originally scheduled for Monday night in Laval, Quebec, was postponed due to illness-related player-safety concerns. The league said medical evaluations indicated the symptoms did not align with hantavirus and that they would announce a new date once medical guidance permitted resumption of play.

The postponement shifted the decisive playoff moment to a later date, with updates anticipated from the league on the makeup date and any impacts on the rest of the series, including the finalist that would face the winner of the other semifinal.[2][3][1]
Additional outlets summarized the decision as a precaution for player safety tied to an illness, noting that the illness did not appear to be hantavirus per medical assessments. The league committed to honoring existing tickets for the rescheduled date or providing refunds as applicable.[3][5][2]
