Basement Hockey Times Report

Basement Hockey Times in depth look at the Los Angeles Panthers S22 Season & Nicholas Pedersen’s sophomore season with the Los Angeles Panthers.

New year, new line mates, recipe for success?

After playing his junior career and freshman season with the same winger (Jackson Hauke), Pedersen would step onto the ice for the first time with a fresh face, rookie Etienne Modano. Centering the 2nd line with Modano, and budding superstar sniper Yuri Boyka, the preseason could not have gone any better for the trio. Boyka led the Panthers with 20 points, with Pedersen an d Modano chipping in 18 points each, in 18 games played. As a team the Panthers dominated the 18 game schedule, winning 14 games, with a balanced effort from the entire team. Top line Morley, Thomas, and Skarsgaard combined for 50 points in 18 games. Things were definitely looking positive for the young Panther team. But could that carry over to the regular season?

Game 1 – Edmonton Blizzard v. Los Angles Panthers ( 3-2 Loss)

The season got off to a slow start with a 3-2 loss to the Blizzard behind a strong goaltending effort by Jakub Aittokallio. Pedersen starting his sophomore season on the 2nd line, contributed an assist on the Panthers 1st goal of the season by Yuri Boyka. Finishing the game with 1 Assist, a plus 1, 3 hits, and nearly 50% on faceoffs.

Game 2 –Los Angles Panthers v. Edmonton Blizzard (3-2 Win)

The 2nd game of the year turned out to be the Panthers 1st win of the season, in come from behind fashion with a 3-2 win over the Blizzard. Fredrik Wastlund got the Panthers on the board, with Jhonas Skarsgaard capping the Panthers comeback with the 3rd period game winner. Even though he wasn’t mention in the 3 stars of the game, the real star was goalie Jackson Weekes, whose 38 saves kept the Panthers in the game, before they finally figured out Aittokallio.

Pedersen was horrendous in the faceoff dot tonight, only winning 33% of the 27 faceoffs he took. Despite the poor showing there, Pedersen finished as a plus 1 with 2 hits, and a blocked shot.

Game 3 - Calgary Dragons vs Los Angeles Panthers (3-2 OTL)

The early season trend of the LA Panthers to play games 3-2 continued, falling in Overtime to the Calgary Dragons in a hard fought game. The Panthers got out to a quick 2-0 1st period lead, only to stop producing offensively and eventually lost the game in Overtime.

Pedersen delivered his second consecutive horrible game. It seems that the sophomore slump is real. Finishing the game with a negative 2, delivering 3 hits, and getting dominated in the faceoff circle winning only 12 of 29. The season definitely did not get off to the kind of start that Pedersen was expecting, after transforming his game during the offseason.

Game 8 - Los Angeles Panthers vs Texas Renegades (5-1 Loss)

Facing off against the defending two time champion on their home ice is never an easy game to expect a W. Tonight wasn’t the night. The LA Panthers suffered their worst loss of the season by the score of 5-1 at the hands of the Reneguhs. Texas took control early and completely dominated the entire game, scoring goals in each period. Morley found the back of the net for his third goal of the year, but it was too little for the young Panthers to overcome. Jackson Weekes faced 39 shots on the evening, turning away 34 of them to fall to 4-2-2 on the season.

Game 9 - Winnipeg Jets vs Los Angeles Panthers (2-1 Loss)

The Panthers dropped a hard fought game to the surprising Winnipeg Jets tonight by the score of 2-1. Sniper Yuri Boyka got on the scoreboard early in the first period on a goal assisted by line mates Modano, and Pedersen (who ended a 4 game pointless scoring streak). Unfortunately they were unable to hold on to the lead, and then fell behind for good 32 seconds into the 2nd period. Lauris Prikulis stood on his head for the Jets, saving 33 of the 34 shots that he faced. Jackson Weekes turned in a strong game, after a clunker in his last game, making 24 saves, but falling to 4-3-2 on the season.

Nicholas Pedersen made the score sheet for the first time in four games, registering an assist. He also had 1 hit, and won 50% of the face-offs that he took. 9 games into his sophomore year, Pedersen has been a complete bust. With only 3 Assists Registered, he currently is on pace for 0 goals and 17 Assists.

Game 10 - Edmonton Blizzard vs Los Angeles Panthers (3-2 Win)

After dropping a pair, the LA Panthers got back in the win column with a 3-2 victory over the Edmonton Blizzard. Jakub Aittokallio could not make the 1-0 lead that Edmonton brought into the 3rd period stand up, as Skarsgaard and Boyka scored goals 14 seconds apart to give the Panthers the lead. Brian Morley added an insurance goal 2 minutes later to clinch the win. The Panthers were all over the ice, out shooting the Blizzard, 36 to 22. Jackson Weekes started his 10th straight game to begin the year, and did not disappoint turning away 20 shots, to bring his record to 5-3-2 on the young season.

Nicholas Pedersen contributed in a secondary role, clearing space on the ice for Boyka and Modano to operate, much like his former Winger Jackson Hauke would do last season. Pedersen tallied 4hits and won 50% of the 26 faceoffs that he took.

Game 11 - Los Angeles Panthers vs Seattle Riot (4-3 OT W)

Once again the Panthers jumped out to an early two goal lead, only to have their opponent the Riot come back to take the lead, before tying the game in the third, and winning it 10 seconds into overtime. Adrian Thomaz got the scoring going with his 3rd on the season, followed up by 3rd liner Pajari a little over a minute later. The Riot came storming back, with 3 unanswered goals, heading to third with a 3-2 lead. That didn’t last long with Nicholas Pedersen finally ending his scoreless streak at 10 games, tying the game on a pass from Boyka. Teams went into their defensive shells after that, and settled going to overtime, where Brian Morley received a pass from Wastlund and fired a shot that found the back of the net only 10 seconds into the overtime period. Jackson Weekes turned out a strong performance with 34 saves, running his record to 6-3-2 on the young season.

Nicholas Pedersen had an uneven performance on the evening. He finally got the monkey off his back with the game tying goal, but lost 17 of the 27 faceoffs taken, was a negative one, but did deliver three hits.

11 games into the season, Pedersen has 1 Goal & 3 Assists. And a whole lot of disappointment.

Game 12 - Los Angeles Panthers vs Edmonton Blizzard (5-4 OT Loss)

Game 12 was no different that the half of the Panthers games so far this season, overtime. Unfortunately you cannot win them all when you are playing on this fine line, tonight the Panthers couldn’t get over the hump after giving up two third period goals and having to fight their way back to tie the game. With the score 2-2 heading to the third it was anybody’s game. Edmonton seemed to want it more, scoring two goals in the first half of the period. The Panthers have been a resilient bunch this season, and that didn’t stop tonight, netting two goals in the last 5 minutes to send the game to overtime. Overtime ended the same way each period began, Edmonton scoring first, to send the home crowd home happy. Jackson Weekes, starting his 12 straight games to start the season, turned a side 30 shots, to fall to 6-3-3 on the season.

Nicholas Pedersen looking to build off his first goal of the season contributed an assist on the game tying goal. He was especially strong in the face-off circle tonight; winning 25 of 36 draws, while finishing a negative one, with 2 hits, and a blocked shot.

Game 13 - Manhattan Rage vs Los Angeles Panthers (5-4 Loss)

It wasn’t a happy homecoming for the Panthers tonight, after being on the road for a few days, dropping a close 5-4 decision to the Manhattan Rage in a wide open game. The Panthers coaching staff is especially upset after giving away a 3rd period lead in the final four minutes of the game. Panthers Captain Valterri Bottas did all that he could to try and get the Panthers a couple of points, notching his first goal of the season to put LA ahead with 6 minutes left in the game. But all was for not, with the Rage finding the back of the net 3 and 4 minutes later to win the game. Jackson Weekes had a rare off night, saving only 17 of the 22 shots he faced to fall to 6-4-3 on the season.

Nicholas Pedersen, playing against a few former teammates and line mates from his days in Detroit didn’t find his name on the score sheet, but made up for it in other areas of the ice. In the face off circle, Pedersen won 15 of 23 draws, and delivered 4 hits.

Game 20 - Los Angeles Panthers vs Winnipeg Jets (5-2 Loss)

Three games in a row the Panthers have delivered a terrible performance. The 5-2 loss on the road to Winnipeg was a complete shellacking on all levels.

Weekes pitched his third clunker in a row, making 25 saves.

Nicholas Pedersen found the back of the net for only the 2nd time on the season, finishing the game as a negative one, and winning 18 of 34 faceoffs.
Pedersen thru 20 games on the season: 2 G, 5 A and still a tremendous amount of disappointment.

The Change

Following the Panthers loss to Winnipeg, GM Wastlund felt that a shakeup was needed. Wasty swapped Adrian Thomaz and Nicholas Pedersen, and Dropped Captain Bottas to the 2nd pairing to give Kwick less defensive responsibility. To anyone that has read this article can see how awful a season Pedersen is having up to this point with 7 points in 20 games. GM Wasty is taking a huge gamble shaking up a line that has played the previous 72 games together in: Thomaz, Skarsgaard, and Morley. It’s easy to see that Pedersen really has been missing Jackson Hauke, his teammate from Juniors on his wing. This change could have made or break the season.



Game 21 - Los Angeles Panthers vs Minnesota Chiefs (3-1 Win)

Winning cures all. The LA Panthers ended their 3 game losing streak, by going to Minnesota, and beating a revitalized Chiefs team 3-1. Fredrik Wastlund notched his 5th goal of the season to give the Panthers the first period lead. Minnesota came back to tie it on the power play a little over a minute into the 2nd period. Captain Bottas broke the tie giving the Panthers the lead for good. Jackson Weekes got back in the win column turning away 20 of 21 shots that he faced, bringing his record to 11-7-3 on the season.

Nicholas Pedersen facing his former team and his first game centering Morley and Skarsgaard, had a relatively uneventful game. Finishing with 4 hits and 13 of 30 in the face off circle.

Jackson Weekes wasn’t going to go home with a loss tonight. He stood on his head, making 29 saves, leading the Panthers to a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Dragons.

Pedersen’s empty netter gives him 3 goals on the season, who is quickly trying to find some chemistry with Morley and Skarsgaard.

Fans love it when a game is wide open, and that is exactly what happened during the 3rd period, with 5 goals being scored. Boyka’s 2nd goal gave the Panthers the lead 1 minute into the period, only to be tied up 2 minutes later. The Panthers rallied with 2 goals in 45 seconds by Morley and Pedersen to secure the victory.

Game 26 - Winnipeg Jets vs Los Angeles Panthers (6-1 Loss)

All good things must eventually come to an end, and that’s is exactly what happened to the Panthers 5 game winning streak tonight, dropping a stinker at home against the Jets 6-1. Winnipeg scored the first 6 goals of the game, before LA finally got a marker late in the 3rd period by Etienne Modano. Jackson Weekes has been terrific all year. Tonight was not his night, perhaps he is tired after making his 26th consecutive start of the year.

Nicholas Pedersen, like his team, had a clunker, finishing a negative 2, however, he did deliver 4 hits, and won 50% of his 38 faceoffs.

Points before Change (20 Games) – 2G, 5A Points After Change (6 Games) – 3G, 1A

At the halfway point of the year, Nicholas Pedersen has tallied 5 goals and 6 assists, putting him on pace for 22 points on the season. Which would be a terrible disappointment after putting up 30 points in his rookie season. Sophomore slumps are real. However, since the line changes, Pedersen’s game seems to be stepping up, delivering 4 points in the 6 games. More importantly the team has won 5 out of those 6 games.
