Round 1, Game 1 CLTvsHFD Great Clips of the Game

The Checkers won a wild Game 1 in their first-round series against Hartford, sinking the Wolf Pack in thrilling fashion.

With the game knotted at one and just a shade over five minutes remaining in regulation, the Checkers were belatedly assessed a double minor and sent to a four-minute penalty kill. Charlotte flipped the script on the Wolf Pack, however, when Skyler Brind’Amour broke up their rush in the neutral zone, carried the puck into the offensive zone and fed a pass across to Will Lockwood – who buried it and pushed the home team ahead.

The Checkers successfully killed off the remainder of that Hartford man advantage and snuffed out any comeback hopes as Rasmus Asplund hit the empty net to seal the deal.
