ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Taylor Heise and Britta Curl-Salemme both scored in the first 1:43 and Heise added an insurance goal late as the Minnesota Frost beat Toronto 5-2 at the Xcel Energy Center, snapping a three-match losing streak and preventing the Sceptres from clinching a spot in the playoffs. Minnesota (8—5-4-10) jumped in front after Heise needed just 58 seconds to send a shot whistling past Toronto goalie Kristen Campbell. Curl-Salemme scored for a seventh time when she banged in a loose puck in front of the net 45 seconds later. Minnesota took a three-goal lead in the second period when Toronto native Sophie Jaques found the net for the fifth time. Liz Schepers made it 4-0 late in the period with her second goal this season.
MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Denny Hamlin ended an agonizing 10-year winless streak at Martinsville Speedway, holding off teammate Christopher Bell in his home state to secure a spot in the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs. The Joe Gibbs Racing star, from the Richmond suburb of Chesterfield, leads active Cup drivers with six victories at Martinsville. But Sunday was his first on the 0.526-mile oval since March 29, 2015. Hamlin was a frequent contender during his 19-race drought at Martinsville, posting 10 top fives and leading 226 laps. Bell, who leads the Cup Series with three wins this season, was second, followed by Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson. With the 55th victory of his career, Hamlin also snapped a 31-race winless streak since last April at Dover.
