Meanwhile, Montreal forward Melodie Daoust was fined $250 for grabbing the facemask of an opposing player during the second period. Daoust received a penalty for roughing on the play.
The PWHL also fined Minnesota forward Liz Schepers $500 for a hit during her team's 5-2 loss to New York last Saturday.
