Revelstoke 0 @ Brooks 3: 3 out of 4 teams agree, they can shut out the Mammoths!
Giordano and Dunn scored first period goals, and while Sorokin was heroic after the first period, he could not hold the fort against the onslaught of Mighty Bear attacks.
He stopped all but 3 quality chances out of 12, but there was absolutely no run support from Revelstoke, who got 3 shots in the first period, 6 in the second, and finally managed double digits (barely) in the 3rd for a total of 20 shots, with a single quality chance that Shesterkin batted away easily. The most frustrated player was Andrei Kuzmenko, who launched 5 shots, all in range, at the net, only to be denied until the very last one with only 2 minutes left in the game. Other notable events, both teams had breakaways on broken sticks but completely missed the net.
Brooks 4 @ Revelstoke 5: What do you mean they didn't score in the last 2 minutes to force OT?
Back in Revelstoke, the Mammoths while still being outshot, held their own, due to Bobrovsky's fantastic(?) goaltending. Nico Hischier started things off on a shorthanded tally, but Max Domi replied to tie things up. David Perron scored less than two minutes after Domi, restoring the Mighty Bears lead, but with only a few seconds to go in the period, Noah Cates also solves Bobrovsky to tie the game up again.
The second period saw Vince Dunn restoring the lead, and that's when the wheels fell off of Brooks. Suddenly, the Mammoths team started playing even-up hockey instead of allowing four shots for every one of theirs, and scoring the next three, including one more on yet another broken stick breakaway. While Brooks maintained the lead on the high danger chances, goaltending was solid for one side, and nonexistent for the other.
Luckily for Brooks, Revelstoke took no more quality shots in the third period, and decided to just lob things at Bobrovsky from outside the blueline the rest of the game just to see what would happen. Kucherov made things close midway through the third period, even with a pulled goalie, this time there was no last second heroics to get the teams to OT.
Bobrovsky was perfect on the day, allowing all 5 goals, with no saves on high danger chances, while Sorokin maintained his 'brick wall' imitation, stopping 8 of 12.
Revelstoke is now 2-3-1-2, after having played what seems to be the top 4 teams in the league.
