Carolina Goalie Shines

Carolina Kraken's goalie Mike Hroch faced an onslaught of shots, however, he was up for the task as he only let in one goal. The only goal he let in came after some unlucky bounces, there was just nothing Hroch could have done. After that unlucky goal, Hroch was a brick wall as he saved shot after shot. He absolutely frustrated the Knights as there was just nothing they could have done. Even with three power plays, the Knights stood no chance as Hroch brought his A game. This was a game that the Knights absolutely should have won.

Hit of the game

The hit of the game came after 8 minutes and 40 seconds of the second period as Zbigniew Pokrywka absolutely decks Andrey Barbashev causing him to lose the puck giving the Carolina Kraken's an excellent scoring chance. Porkywka was out for blood this game as he registered three hits this game but this was certainly one to remember. Although, the Krakens did not register a shot on the ensuing turnover, this hit opened up the ice for them. It also caused Barbashev to seem more cautious with the puck for the rest of the game as he did not want to go through that again.

Power Play blunders

The Kelowna Knights power play squad could use some adjustments going forward as they had three chances to score and failed on all three. Their first power play came in the second period and they were able to get multiple shots off, however none of them were good scoring chances as they seemed to be trying to force it. Their next two power plays came in the third. The first powerplay of the third they recorded zero shots on net and basically chased the puck the whole time as the Berserkers did a good job at dumping the puck back into the Knights defensive zone. Their last power play came late in the third and they just couldn't turn it into anything. If the Knights were planning on making a deep run in the playoffs something has to change.
