First Period
The first period was all Montreal in terms of shots and opportunities. Montreal came firing right out of the gate and managed 12 shots on Georgette Pel. However, it was all for not as Halfiax was able to get on the board first with a beautiful tic tac toe play as Jean-Luc Reflieux finished it off on the powerplay.

Montreal however did not give up and managed to tie the game 10 seconds later as Angello went coast to coast for an amazing goal.

The crowd was back into it and Montreal seemed to have gained some momentum. However, Montreal couldn’t sustain the pressure as Halifax’s Reed Laing scored his third of the season 11:32 in on the powerplay with a one timer from the dot.

Second Period
From here on out, it was all downhill for the Militia. Halfiax was dominant keeping Montreal in their own zone for the majority of the period. Montreal was also getting tired, and therefore took many penalties which hurt them badly. Blake Battle scored his second of the season 15:08 into the period with Halfiax’s third goal on the powerplay this game. Montreal was outshot 11-5 in the period.

Third Period:
It was a quiet third period with each team only managing 6 shots on net each, however each team was able to find the back of the net once with Greta Eversen for Halifax scoring her second of the season and Johnny Watson getting his first on the powerplay. In the end, Montreal just didn’t have enough firepower to get through the game and make the comeback.


Make it or Break it
The Make it or Break it moment of the game was the Halfiax powerplay. It made it for them as they were able to tally up 3 goals from being on the man advantage, something they have been struggling to do all season long. With constant goals on the powerplay, Montreal was not able to get any momentum and therefore could not climb back into the game. Although the only ended with 33% on the powerplay, it was the constant threat of being able to score and the pressure they were able to put that made Montreal draw 9 penalties in total.
