Here’s the latest on the PWHL Frost-Victoire playoff game:
Game 5 between the Minnesota Frost and Montreal Victoire, originally scheduled for Monday, was postponed due to illness concerns affecting player safety. The league indicated medical assessment found the symptoms were not consistent with hantavirus, and they planned to announce a rescheduled date once medical guidance permitted play. The postponement was announced May 10, 2026, with updates expected within a day.[6][7][9]
The rescheduled date for Game 5 was later set for Tuesday night in Laval, Quebec, with tickets honored for the makeup date or refundable if unavailable. This change was reported by multiple outlets and confirmed by the league as part of ongoing updates to the semifinal series.[1][4][7]
The winner of this semifinal would advance to face the Ottawa Charge in the Walter Cup Final. Minnesota and Montreal had alternated wins in the series up to that point, including a triple-overtime Montreal win in Game 2 and a Minnesota win in Game 5 that forced the deciding game.[7][1]
