3 Stars of the Game - Comment 1

1. Cullen Gray    Gray was the star of the game, boasting a stat line of 1 goal, 1 assist, and 2 hits off of 15 minutes and 19 seconds on the ice. Cullen's only goal was the second of the first period which put the Whale's comfortably in the lead going into the second period. 

2. Sureshot Dombrowski    Dombrowski is the second star of this game with the same stat line as Gray except playing 16 minutes and 43 seconds. Dombrowski would be the one to assist in Gray's first period goal and scored one of his own in the second period. 

3. Jan Zacha  The final and third star of this game would be Jan Zacha who just like the 2 mentioned above had 1 goal and an assist off of 21 minutes and 36 seconds of play. To go along with those 2 points however Zacha also went 24/33 in faceoffs

Goalie Matchup - Comment 2

The goalie matchup would be between Vancouver's Kasperi Braulin and Anaheim's Tobias Lindeman. Coming into this game both goalies would sport a record of 1-1.

In only the first period this matchup would be won by Vancouver's goalie after their offense was able to get 2 pucks past Lindeman. While Braulin was able to stop 11 shots in the first period alone, twice playing against Anaheim's powerplay unit. This first period would reflect to what was to come as Lindeman would give up another 3 goals, Braulin only giving up 1. At the end of it all Lindeman had a save percentage of 82.1% while as the obvious winner of the matchup, Braulin boasted a save percentage of 96.3%. Interestingly enough however neither goalie allowed either team's powerplay unit to score once.

Rookie of the Game - Comment 3

The honor of rookie of the game would go to Zlatan Ibrahimovic Jr. Zlatan put up 1 assist, 1 hit, and 3 shots blocked off of 19 minutes and 56 seconds on the ice. Overall a pretty good game, especially for one who was playing in their third game of their career. After Zlatan's assist in the first period he was pretty quiet out there on the ice besides some passes and a hit in the second period. However he came alive defensively in the third period with 3 blocked shots and helped his fellow defenseman kill what little chance Anaheim had in coming back from their 5 point deficit.
