Cremona [5] @ 4 Oxford - Cremona wins the series 4-1.
Cremona continues a tradition of not playing well until being scored against, and came back from down 3-1 to win it in the middle of the 3rd period.
1st Period
Anderson scores on the PP from expert set-up man Zibanejad. 1-0 Oxford
2nd Period "Oxford Takes Control"
Terry takes a long lead pass from Q. Huges and buries it. 1-1 Tie
Tippet concludes a flurry of three hard shots with a goal. 2-1 Oxford
Anderson scores on the PP again from expert set-up man Letang. 3-1 Oxford
3rd Period "The Wheels Fall Off"
Pastrnak scores an unassisted beauty because Pastrnak, that's why. 3-2 Oxford
Svechnikov follows with a one-timer of a Fox pass. 3-3 Tie
Svechnikov scores again on the PP, this time converting a Rantanen pass. 4-3 Cremona
Ovechkin, feeling left out, takes a Pastrnak feed and one-times it. 5-3 Cremona
Net empty, Hayton wins the face-off and sails it past Samsonov from the red line. 5-4 Cremona
There were no serious scoring chances after that, and Cremona cruised to victory in the game and series.
Summary
CRE 17 + 21 + 19 = 57 SHOTS, 15 HARD, 5 GOALS vs Jarry
OXF 17 + 10 + 08 = 35 SHOTS, 10 HARD, 4 GOALS vs Samsonov

- This game featured the most shots ever faced by Oxford in a playoff game. Porous doesn't even begin to describe the defense here.
- Congratulations Cremona on an entertaining and highly dissatisfying victory. Good luck in the final!
