Ottawa pulled away later in the period with three goals in just over six minutes.
Clark delivered a highlight-reel goal on an end-to-end rush, putting the puck through Sidney Morin’s legs before beating Rooney on the far side. Wozniewicz tallied a few minutes later and Mrazova added a power-play goal.
The Frost scored late in the period when Ottawa was unable to clear the puck. Pannek found Curl-Salemme out front and she beat Philips on the glove side.
