Today's pair of games featured musical numbers such as... "Some day, one day, I might roll a hard shot!", "When did those goons get shorthanded ranges and why are they scoring on me?", and "Let's lose the lead by not clearing pucks!"
Revelstoke 3 @ Houston 1
Houston opened the scoring despite a wide edge in shots by the Mammoths in the first period. They held the lead for quite some time, until the 11:48 mark of the second period, when the Mammoths were finally able to solve Saros with a shorthanded goal by Deslauriers. A random chance by Ekman-Larson facing nearly no defence midway through the third on a fluke chance gave the Mammoths the lead, and Cody Ceci put the game away on an empty netter. Sorokin was superb, stopping all but one on 5 chances, while Saros faced a large number (51) shots, but saw the same number of quality chances, besides the empty netter.
Houston 3 @ Revelstoke 4 (OT)
Once again Houston jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on the strength of Mangiapane's goal at the 2 minute mark of the first. It took slightly less time for the Mammoths to tie it up, with Tanev scoring just over 6 minutes into the second, once again, while shorthanded, during a mess of a sequence of penalties, leading to a 4 on 3 for Houston, then a 5 on 3 for Houston. Peterson (not the good one) scored on the powerplay 4 minutes later to regain the lead.
Brandon Tanev, seeing that the top lines of Revelstoke were not able to hit the net with any regularity, took it upon himself to reply less than a minute later. Revelstoke added to their lead, with a goal scored by Cam Atkinson. Houston replied when Zibanejad took an untimely penalty with only 5 minutes left in the game, another blown lead but this time for Revelstoke. The Sundogs' attack was anemic in overtime, while the Mammoths jumped on the puck, firing 5 shots, 2 in range at Saros, with the winner scored by Tyler Seguin just before the 4 minute mark of overtime.
Saros was once again heroic, stopping 6 of 10 quality chances, out of a total of 56 shots, while Sorokin was decent, stopping 3 of 7 chances, but only facing 30 Sundog shots.
Revelstoke is now 11-3-2, 24 points, 68 GF, 47 GA.
Shenanigans!
