Another installment of the 'We Love Matt Murray' day in Revelstoke!
A very even first period, where both teams took 13 shots on net - only difference was Matt Murray, who in typical fashion, didn't stop anything, as opposed to Fleury, who stopped two additional quality chances.
The second period was dominated by the Butchers, nearly doubling up on the shot count, and Kyle Connor taking the lead. Fleury surprisingly kept the Mammoths in the game, despite being down a goal, until the 3rd period, where the Mammoths finally came to life, and in a big way, kicked off by a powerplay goal from Vatanen. This was followed up by a goal from Seguin, and a second goal from superstar Vatanen.
Murray decided to let most of everything else blow by him too, only making two stops all game that mattered. Kyle Connor scored once more with a few minutes to go in the 3rd period to make it close, but Mikael Backlund put it away only a minute later to seal the deal for the Mammoths.
Other interesting things - Kucherov took more penalties than he did shots, while Connor McDavid was invisible as he touched the puck once, only to turn it over, all game long.
