Poulin's winner sends Victoire to Walter Cup Final
Captain Clutch has done it again.
Marie-Philip Poulin scored the winner in Tuesday's do-or-die Game 5 to send the Montreal Victoire to the Walter Cup Final and eliminate the two-time defending champion, Minnesota Frost.

Montreal will face the Ottawa Charge in the final.
Poulin also assisted on Catherine Dubois' opening goal of the game in Montreal's 2-1 victory.
Ann-Renee Desbiens was terrific between the pipes for the Victoire, stopping 25 of 26 shots. Her best denial was a dazzling windmill, two-pad-stack glove save.
