NHL Regular Season Recap Night 128: UPW
NHL regular season recap night 128 we kick things off with the first of just three games between the Blue Jackets and Buffalo Sabers a good little goalie duel here between uko pekcan and denil teraso one goal either way in the first period from Dmitri Varon kov on the power play
And then Zen gets to Genson about four minutes after Veron kovs goal ties us at one uh no goals in the second it did look like Damon Severson had scored with just a few minutes left on a breakaway but it turned out that the puck hit like that perfect Corner between the crossbar
And post and it did not cross the line completely so we stayed knotted at one after two periods and then in the third just 3 minutes in Connor Clifton with a seeing eye shot from the point that went off of I believe the back of Zack rinsky
Ends up finding the back of the net and that is your eventual gamewinner it’s a 2-1 victory for Buffalo UPL goes 25 for 26 A 962 save percentage he’s been playing pretty solid lately and then denil teraso 35 for 37 definitely the busier of the two goalies but the
Slightly lower of the two percentages with a 946 again a good goalie duel here UPL gets it UPL excuse me gets it done it’s a 21 final for buffalo third and final game of the night between the Oilers and Minnesota Wild and Minnesota with a huge huge huge win
In this one Matt Baldi opens the scoring with 23 seconds remaining in the first Leon drle ties us up in the second about halfway through and we head to the third at one a piece but in the third it’s all Minnesota despite getting outshot 20 4-7 by Edmonton in the third frame yonis
Bran scores about halfway through the period a few minutes after that Matt Baldi scores his second of the game to make it 3-1 Minnesota Zack H would score to make it 3-2 with about 5 minutes to go and then Matt zcell on the empty net with about 90 seconds to play again this
Is a massive massive win for Minnesota they’re still trying to crawl back into the playoffs for Edmonton this is a tough loss they outshoot them handily but Philip guson just far better than Calvin picker in this one he goes 41 for 43 a 953 save percentage one of his best
Games of the year while Cal picker just goes 16 for 19 and 842 save percentage in the losing effort this is why this guy was in the American Hockey League not too long ago it’s a tough loss for Edmonton they’re not really in any danger at this point it’s a massive win
Though for Minnesota 42 is the final and that is it for HL regular season recap night 128 we have a massive and really really good slate tomorrow a ton of games with pretty good playoff implications some really strong teams facing off against each other some wild card and teams facing off against each
