GAME 88

Halifax Raiders VS Anaheim Outlaws Outlaws

Game Link

The Anaheim Outlaws hosted the Halifax Raiders in what would turn out to be an overtime thriller. Halifax had been on a good run, with points in 4 of the last 5 games, one of which being a win over Anaheim just a couple days before.

The first period started with plenty of missed shots from both sides, and quite a few stretches of uninterrupted play. The action went up and down the ice until there was 4:33 left in the period when Anaheim got called for an icing after a clearing attempt by Rhys Pritchard went past the reach of Kevin Robinson. Raiders center Bjornosonson won the draw, and a slick feed from defenseman Abel Skinner found Lucas Hellquist on the back door with an open net, and an easy open net for the forward. The Outlaws found success in the last minute of the period, scoring twice within ten seconds of each other. Rikard Hammarberg scored off of a turnover, and then Kevin Robinson scored on a nice deflection nine seconds later.

The second period started out slow with the Outlaws playing safe while trying to preserve the lead. A scrum in front of the Anaheim net halfway through the period got scrappy, and ended up with Valentin Kalashnikov getting set to the box for a two minute charging penalty. The Outlaws took advantage of the power play when John Forfeit blasted a shot into the back of the net for a 3-1 lead.

Halifax was looking for answers as the third began, trying to figure out the Outlaws stingy defense. They found the break they were looking for early, after a clean breakout from rookie center Alexander Roach, who made a couple of nice moves through the neutral zone to set up Abel Skinner for the one-timer. The Raiders start to gain momentum through the rest of the period, and they get a chance to tie the game with a man advantage after Bale sends the puck over the glass for a delay of game penalty. Abel Skinner, who had been having a great night, scores the tying goal with a scorching wrister from the slot.

The game would stay tied at the end of the third and go into overtime. It wouldn’t last long, however, as Rhys Pritchard would bury the game winner after a turnover by the Raiders in their own zone.
