GamingTranscript
00:00Carolina's holding down, bragging rights, having won the last two in this series.
00:16Miller's last game against them drove them nuts with a shot blocking and scoring.
00:21Struble's tenacity and physicality were noticeable in the last meeting.
00:25Two dynamic stars and two teams that provide a whole lot of smash-melt hockey, and it's ready to go.
00:34Opening faceoff is just seconds away.
00:42The Americans start with possession as we are now underway.
00:46Tries to get the puck over to Ehlers.
00:49To the front.
00:51Struble's out.
00:53Click it on for you.
00:54Yes.
00:54And if you want to dictate pace, especially with the puck chops, and put one in early, that's the best way to get it done.
01:05Coaches and staff always preach that hard work leads to opportunity, and this is an exact case of it, James.
01:11Being hard and tenacious on retrieval and then finding an opportunity out of it, that's reward right there.
01:18He's a point-of-game player every time he plays it, and the streak continues.
01:38Well, there's a lot of emotion and vibe in these rivalry series games, James, and it's almost as if it's a catalyst for him.
01:43Oh, man, he fuels himself with it, and it certainly shows up on the score sheet.
01:50Ehlers setting up against Kawhi, unable to reach that one.
01:54Slides the puck down low.
01:56Quick shot!
01:57Great read by Nikola as he pumps it away with a stick.
02:00And just like that, comes up with the puck.
02:02Great little flick of the stick.
02:04Tries to feed it over to Fabry.
02:09Oh, look at this chance!
02:12Ehlers broke the tie earlier, and now he's looking for more, James.
02:15He loves to attack the net.
02:16The backhander.
02:17Oh, how did he get a glove on that?
02:20What a stop by Ellis!
02:22But you know he's a fierce competitor, and he battled to make consecutive saves there, James.
02:27And now he passes it to Jarvis.
02:30Takes it from the right side.
02:31Reaching save made by Ellis.
02:34You know the goal is dialed in when you need your extra puck to the corner.
02:38St. Petersburg, staying concessional, and the boards.
02:46Barrett's is adding even more hot sauce to this rivalry after what happened last game, and the fans are letting them know.
02:51Oh, yeah.
02:52I mean, their player was injured in the attack last game, and I will call it an attack because it was a dangerous hit, and they're going to let him know.
02:58Yeah, it was.
02:59As we look at that hit, you can certainly see the adrenaline running through his body on that one.
03:04I mean, he elicited all of his power into that hit there, James.
03:08But I really like the timing of it.
03:09You want to make sure that you're dictating tempo and pace right from the onset of the game.
03:13That's how you do it.
03:14Carolina's been rewarded early in this one by putting lots of pucks on net.
03:18St. Petersburg's going to start with the puck inside the offensive zone.
03:29Moves it quickly over to Loza.
03:32Slides it back to the blue line.
03:34Oh, how did he get a piece of that?
03:37As a goaltender, sometimes you just have to react.
03:39You turn the brain off, and you just allow your eyes and your body to do the work for you, and he does exactly that with a reactionary save.
03:47St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall.
03:49St. Petersburg pushes it across to pull up.
03:53Quick feed down low.
03:55On the attack, moves the puck into the corner.
03:57The Hurricanes take possession in the defensive end.
04:01Nice zone entry on the left side.
04:03Loses his check.
04:04He's on the breakaway.
04:06Carolina's got the puck against the boards.
04:09Can't get it to go.
04:10The Bears gain control of the puck.
04:14Passes it to Obey-Turville.
04:16Feeds it down low.
04:17Feeds it up ahead.
04:22The Hurricanes get a hold of the puck along the boards.
04:26Inside the offensive zone.
04:29Quick shot!
04:30Oh, what a save by Ellis.
04:35Takes the feed from the left side.
04:38And called for the offside.
04:40We're going to face off.
04:43The Hurricanes have done a great job moving their feet tonight,
04:47and they lead here midway through the first.
04:51Carolina's got possession of the puck after that neutral zone faceoff.
04:55Oh, Frank moves the sides of the check.
04:59Broken up at center by Sheffield.
05:02The Hurricanes played it on the boards.
05:06Taken by Kraft.
05:09St. Petersburg's got it in their own zone.
05:11And now it's grabbed by D'Angelo.
05:15Close it to Fabry.
05:17Oh, it just gets a piece of it to keep it out.
05:20St. Petersburg's game possession.
05:23And a great seed.
05:26Carries it across the line.
05:30St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck now.
05:33Slides it over with pace to Fabry.
05:35And that's taken away in the offensive end by Tutkaniemi.
05:39Quick feed to Fabry.
05:41Rocks him along the line.
05:43In order to dictate the tempo of the game right at the onset of it,
05:47you want to make your opponent think and hear you coming.
05:50And that's what he does with that first hit.
05:52And that puck leaves the zone.
05:56And he takes the feed.
05:58Carrier's got him along the wing.
06:00Sends it down low.
06:04Quick pass to Slavin.
06:08Beautiful read in the defensive end by Bastien.
06:12The Hurricanes gain possession along the wall.
06:15Great use of the stick in the defensive end by Pahal.
06:19Picked up along the wall by Carrier.
06:23Quick feed to Pahal.
06:27St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
06:30On the attack along the boards.
06:34Tented along the wall by Fabry.
06:37And the defenders come up with the puck.
06:40Look out.
06:41Here they come with the attack.
06:42From his own end, he picks up the puck.
06:47Here's a chance.
06:48They score!
06:50And it's back to Pahal.
06:52Yeah, and they've been chopping at them.
06:53Now they've got their opponent on their heels.
06:56They need a quick change here
06:57and find a way to continue the momentum.
06:59Well, he certainly looks frustrated after letting that goal in, James.
07:04It's almost like a fielder in baseball.
07:05If you touch it, he should be able to stop it.
07:08And then he gets a big chunk of that one.
07:10Unfortunately, it goes in the netting.
07:11They put themselves in a greater deficit after that last goal.
07:26And the coach's reaction certainly says something.
07:29He's disgusted with his team's performance.
07:31You're playing a rival opponent who beat you last time.
07:34And you can't manufacture some energy and effort in the game.
07:37He doesn't like it at all.
07:39Passed the midway mark for the frame.
07:41Carolinus really controlled the pace of play these last two minutes, leading by two.
07:47Loves the puck over to Barron.
07:49Here's a short pass to Karrick.
07:54Stooped up along the way by Kampany.
07:56From one end of the blue line to the other.
07:59Oh, it's a great shot block there.
08:01Well, yeah.
08:01I mean, it's great to score in, James.
08:03And you want to make sure that you get in front of that one.
08:05And he did.
08:05He gets all of it.
08:07Moves it quickly over to Karrick.
08:09Stooped by the goaltender.
08:11Carolina's grab a hold of the puck.
08:14Oh, look at this.
08:16And now he moves it quickly to Kampany.
08:18On the board, they battle for the puck back and forth.
08:27Wicked pass!
08:28And that goes off a player.
08:31St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
08:34Oh, they telegraphed the pass, and he picks it off.
08:40Cutting the slot.
08:42Moves it to Burrows.
08:44The Bears have it now.
08:46Tries to get the puck to Sterling.
08:49The Bears looking against the half wall.
08:55And that pass attack is deflected.
08:57Puck scooped up by Miller.
09:00Quick pass to Walker.
09:03The Hurricanes will play it from the defensive zone.
09:06And he takes the pass.
09:09And he loses control of the puck.
09:12St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
09:14And that plays offside.
09:16We got a face-off coming up.
09:18St. Petersburg's got it near the point.
09:19Slides it across.
09:20And there's the save.
09:20St. Petersburg's got it near the point.
09:21And there's the save.
09:21St. Petersburg's got it near the point.
09:22St. Petersburg's got it near the point.
09:23St. Petersburg's got it near the point.
09:27When Dennings quicks Dick, lands from the puck here at center.
09:33The Bears take it along the wall.
09:36Picked up along the boards by Jock.
09:41St. Petersburg's got it near the point.
09:44Slides it across.
09:46And there's the save.
09:49Stahl's taking it from his own end.
09:53And he takes that one right in the midsection.
09:57And we're going to get a stoppage here as the referee blows the play dead.
10:02Getting into the later stages of this period.
10:052-0 is where we sit.
10:10The Bears come up with a defensive zone draw.
10:14Quick feed to Tucker.
10:16St. Petersburg's looking to break out.
10:19To his teammate!
10:21Here he is with a backhander.
10:23And the shot dies in the traffic jam.
10:25And that's off a stick.
10:28Grabbed along the board by Sheffield.
10:31Stahl's moving the puck through his own zone.
10:37Tip toes around the coach.
10:40Slides the puck to Glenn Denning.
10:43Takes the feed.
10:45Big play inside the defensive zone.
10:47Here's a short pass to Tucker.
10:57Looks to set up at the point now.
10:59Here's a shot.
11:01And that goes off the face of the goaltender.
11:03Goaltenders try and make themselves as big as possible.
11:06And it usually hits other parts of the body.
11:08But this one rattles right off the cage.
11:10The Bears win the draw.
11:20Moves it quickly over to D'Angelo.
11:24He was the puck.
11:25Passes it over.
11:30Dishes it off.
11:32Oh, what a stop at the puck.
11:34The right touch.
11:34The puck scores!
11:36Look who's on the board.
11:39That's his first of the year.
11:47I love this kind of goal, James.
11:48I mean, you're heavy on the forecheck.
11:49You're hounding the pucks.
11:50And you're not allowing your opponent to get anywhere.
11:52They're back on their heels.
11:53You continue to wear them down.
11:55They cannot get a line change.
11:56And you make sure that you convert on the opportunity.
11:59That's just a great goal.
11:59Here in the late goings of the period.
12:17St. Petersburg showing a new energy over these last few minutes.
12:20They got one back, but they still need one more in order to tie.
12:25Carrick's won the draw.
12:27Quick pass to Kafferden.
12:29And he puts that one aside with ease.
12:32There's the whistle as the goalie hangs on.
12:39St. Petersburg's had the shot advantage here in this first period,
12:42but they still find themselves down.
12:45Play resumes here as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone.
12:51Lying again in the final middle of this opening frame.
12:55And a puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play.
12:59Centers are set.
13:02Face off ready to resume play.
13:08Puck is dropping.
13:09He wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
13:12The Hurricanes will play it in their own end.
13:15And that's off a stick.
13:16The Bears gain control of it.
13:20Direct it over to Carrick.
13:23They gain possession here inside the neutral zone.
13:29Shot!
13:30Oh, what a stop there with time winding down.
13:33There's the buzzer.
13:3420 minutes in the books.
13:35Second period just around the corner.
13:37The Raiders.
13:38Let's go on!
13:38It's the예요!
13:39Theometral bar!
13:402-4!
13:42Two-4!

14:046!
14:046!
14:055.3!
17:35Hooked up along the wall by Fabry.
17:42Icing is the call.
17:44We'll get a face-up at the other end.
17:48Kotechkov's made an incredible save there.
17:50Not sure how he kept that out of the net.
17:52Just really athletic.
17:53I mean, you have to be acrobatic to be able to get to the top of your crease like that, but he read it perfectly to be able to make the save and keep it at bay.
18:01Still plenty of time left in this frame.
18:08Carolina's got a slim lead.
18:10They lead it 2-1.
18:12St. Petersburg's going to start with the puck in their own end.
18:19Great face-off win by the center.
18:21Now they can get out of their zone and get a change.
18:23St. Petersburg's going to start with the puck in their own end.
18:31And he sidesteps the check there.
18:34Here's the pass to the middle.
18:36And that's stuck.
18:38Ellis has been on point in the paint, James.
18:46Just look at that last save.
18:47Not sure how he was able to keep it out of the net, but he does very aggressive and athletic in his crease.
19:01St. Petersburg's put a lot of pucks on net.
19:04Now they just need to put one past the goaltender, still trailing in the second.
19:08Back of the way as he wins the draw inside the offensive zone.
19:14On the attack, they come down the right wing.
19:17Feeds it over.
19:19St. Petersburg's caught him along the wall.
19:23There's a shot off the mask of the goaltender.
19:26Boy, right between the eyes.
19:28I don't think he had time to get his head out of the way, and that one hits his mask.
19:31You've got to give it to the quality of masks nowadays.
19:34If that happened a few years ago, that would hurt even more.
19:36Both teams gliding into position, and the officials set to drop the puck.
19:43The Hurricanes change the zone.
19:46Here we go.
19:47Pucks in deep.
19:52Pucks down the ice.
19:54We'll get an icing.
19:54Carolina's got it in the offensive zone.
20:11Center bears down on that bottom hand.
20:13A clean win, and you can see them all setting up, looking to attack the net against this tired group.
20:17And he slides it quickly to Barron.
20:21Last moved up ahead.
20:23Taken along the wall by Barron.
20:27Here's a chance.
20:28And he stakes that one worth of luck.
20:34Let's have a look at that last hit.
20:35I mean, that was absolutely huge change.
20:38You know that this is a momentum change, and you can see the bench erupt with that one.
20:46Inching closer to the midway mark of this period.
20:50It's 2-1.
20:55Carolina's won the defensive zone draw.
20:57The Bears grab possession to the puck.
21:00Moves it to Lozod.
21:03Takes the feed.
21:04Stopped by the goaltender, getting a piece of that one.
21:08Browns lugging the puck.
21:11Here they come on the attack down the right side.
21:16They've got numbers.
21:21Quick pass to Burroughs.
21:23Takes the feed at the back end.
21:25Puck picked up by Palat.
21:27Slides it across.
21:31A chance and a goal.
21:32And that comes off one of his teammates in front.
21:37Stenland's across the line now and on the attack in the offensive end.
21:41If you can put a couple of these shifts together, you have your opponent on their heels,
21:45but you have to find a way to convert and drive the net.
21:47Oh, and another big shot.
21:49Man, it's really difficult to defend, right, James?
21:51I mean, so difficult when you're shoving.
21:53You're doing everything you possibly can to move and separate him from the puck.
21:57But his core strength and his balance is certainly the victor as he takes this one to the net.
22:01St. Petersburg has won the draw inside his own end.
22:07Intercepted at the offensive end by Percian.
22:11St. Petersburg's got him now.
22:13St. Petersburg's been the busier team offensively with way more shots on goal, but they still trail in the second.
22:33And off the draw, they win the faceoff.
22:39Sends a pass over.
22:41Slides the puck across to Jarvis.
22:43St. Petersburg's gained possession along the boards.
22:50On the attack into the offensive end, right up the nut.
22:54Great hits on play with the stick by Ehlers.
22:58Now into the offensive zone from the right side.
23:01Oh, and a chance to make a nice move, and the puck disagreed with him.
23:04Sometimes when you lose the puck, it's a product of trying to do too much.
23:08Sometimes keeping it simple is more effective.
23:11Here's a shot, and he had the answer on that one.
23:14Ehlers makes a good save and redirects the puck to the corner, and this planes out with the front of the net.
23:19Really no trash for second shot opportunity.
23:21Gains control of the puck here at the middle line.
23:26The noise of on the one-timer!
23:29Quick speed to Cartier.
23:32Carolina's got control of it now from their own end.
23:35Can't maintain possession.
23:38Avoids the puck check and maintains possession.
23:41Pitched up along the boards by Carrick.
23:45Pass back to the point.
23:47Oh, you know what respect for your teammates doing that.
23:50What a block.
23:52Grabbed along the board by Ehlers.
23:55Here's a shot.
23:56Makes the save.
23:58Slides it quickly to Kapanen.
24:03Moves inside.
24:05Tremendous block on the play.
24:07And the bench really erupts on that one, because otherwise it would have been in the back of the net.
24:12Near the point.
24:14Comes up with a stop.
24:16Loose puck battle along the boards.
24:18Stahl's got it in the defensive end.
24:25And now he passes up to Kotkaniemi.
24:28Here's a chance!
24:29And he gets just enough of it to keep it out from the back of the net.
24:35That's a fantastic save by the goaltender, but his team has to do a better job of protecting the middle of the ice.
24:41Those high-danger scoring chances eventually go in.
24:44Big time stop there!
24:49St. Petersburg's got possession at center.
24:52Ditched on over to Burroughs.
24:55St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
24:58Back to the point it goes.
25:03Sends the pass over.
25:05And he catches that one with the glove.
25:11Let's have another look at that monster of a hit there, James.
25:14You gotta love it.
25:15You have to have great timing.
25:17You gotta know when your opponent's vulnerable.
25:18St. Petersburg's trailing at the midway mark of this one, but it's not for a lack of scoring chances.
25:27All sorts of shots, just no finish.
25:31The Frozen Biscuits dropped, and we are back on the way here.
25:36Carolina's got the puck in the defensive end.
25:38Directs it on over to Blake.
25:41Some solid defensive work in the row in with the pokejack.
25:45Now a quick pass to O'Brien.
25:48Along the half wall with the puck.
25:51Here's a chance!
25:52Oh, he just got enough of that one to keep it out!
25:57St. Petersburg's got the puck near the back end.
26:00Here's a short pass to D'Angelo.
26:03Shucks him down!
26:04For Ketkos, he's been dominating the crease tonight.
26:06He's turned away a lot of high-dangerous shots,
26:09and he's really found a way to build some momentum for his team,
26:11giving him a real opportunity to win.
26:13Oh, and he skips into the line of fire and blocks that!
26:18This is the pass!
26:28Oh!
26:30Bastian's got control of the puck in the corner.
26:34Back at the point.
26:35They set it up.
26:36Musa quickly over to Pahal.
26:38Oh, it stays out!
26:39He got a piece of that one!
26:41Here in the late goings of the period, it's 2-1.
26:55And momentum on their side as they win the draw here inside the offensive zone.
27:01The Hurricanes take over on possession.
27:05And now he angles it across to Svechnikov.
27:07Goes to Puck.
27:12Hooked up along the wall by Svechnikov.
27:15Hurricanes got the puck in his own zone.
27:18They've got numbers here.
27:22Here's a blast.
27:24Big time one-timer stop.
27:27Works it across to Slavin.
27:30Oh, and some smooth skating to lose the defender there.
27:33Shot. Sensational stop with the stick by Ellis.
27:38This is just a fantastic drive to the net here, James.
27:41I love his stick placement relative to his body position.
27:44This is a textbook shield to get the shot off.
27:47The Bears have had no shortage of opportunities tonight.
27:49But at some point, they need to start finishing here late in period number two.
27:54Feeds the puck to Burroughs.
27:57Takes the lead from the left side.
27:59Carolina's got a hold of it against the wall.
28:06Oh, great play to sidestep the puck check.
28:09Look at this.
28:10They've got some balls here on the attack.
28:12And a solid stop on the play there.
28:17Jarvis hightails the balance of the play.
28:19Oh, a lucky break for the shooter as it goes off the inside of the iron and stays out.
28:25There's the buzzer bringing the second period to an end.
28:32Been a great night of hockey here on EA Sports.
28:34And we've got a third period just around the corner.
28:36And thank you for supporting minor league hockey in your community.
28:51We've got a third period.
29:15An Unwómics Reality.
29:16No!
29:17Whatever!
29:17Me work!
29:17No!
29:18No!
29:18No!
29:19We've got a third period.
29:19So doing their hands on the Oracle Θ,
31:51Now it's about being opportunistic and finding a way to get some net front presence and put
31:55one by the timber.
31:57And he slides it quickly to Struble.
31:59The Hurricanes move the puck into the defensive zone.
32:08Great reflex on display tonight on his part.
32:12They gain the offensive zone from the middle.
32:14Takes the shot.
32:15And there's a great save by Ellis.
32:19Slides the puck to O'Brien.
32:22Passes it over.
32:25Dishes it off.
32:28Handles it along the blue line.
32:30And that's broken up with a stick in front.
32:35Fires it on net.
32:36Oh, how did he stop that?
32:38That was a save by Ellis.
32:41Quick shot.
32:42What save?
32:43Well, Chekhov's really had the pulse of his team this game, James.
32:53I mean, making some huge saves at the right time.
32:55And that's what you need from your goaltender to sort of weather the storm when they have
32:58to and make the timely save when they need to.
33:01You garner momentum from it.
33:02It's uplifting, and it provides energy.
33:14St. Petersburg's had a lot of good looks on goal, but they still trail early in the third.
33:23The Bears win the draw.
33:27Working the puck deep inside their own end.
33:31Here's a chance.
33:32Takes the pass.
33:37One of his teammates is right in the shooting lane there.
33:40The medical staff is waiting at the bench here, looking at him to get off the ice,
33:44but he is really struggling in significant pain.
33:49Carolina's got the puck.
33:52Stahls picking up steam.
33:54And now he moves it to Svechnikov.
33:56Shakes off the coverage.
33:58Stops that one.
34:00Burroughs takes the puck.
34:02And that's deflected.
34:04St. Petersburg's got the puck against the half wall.
34:08Oh, Howard, he keeps it out.
34:12What a blocker stop.
34:13Fight for Tchekov.
34:15But Tchekov's helping his team with his rebound control and really keeping the puck away from
34:20the front of the net and putting out the trash.
34:22And a strong effort on that play.
34:24Kuck and Yemi stick handling in his own zone.
34:29Walker swinging the puck through center ice.
34:32Fires it.
34:33Stops him cold.
34:35Kuck is frozen and we get a stoppage in front.
34:37I don't like seeing that at all, you know, to see him favoring that foot right now.
35:07Big concern for this squad here going forward.
35:14And the puck leaves the 0-0 first-3 for best-center, Moussa Tonella.
35:24Riff blows the whistle as the puck's covered up.
35:30Ellis was the task on that last save, a prime-time example that he is in it to win it right now.
35:35I mean, that's a high-danger grade-A chance that he's able to keep out of the net.
35:48Nearing the midway mark of the period, the Hurricanes lead it 2-1 in what has been an entertaining game thus far.
35:55Oh, and it stays out! He got a piece of that one!
36:00And sends it just out of reach.
36:03Some good stick work to force that turnover.
36:07Stenland's gonna play it against the half-wall.
36:10The Hurricanes take possession in the defensive end.
36:16Takes that pass back at the point.
36:18Nowhere for that shot to go through.
36:22Moves it over to Tucker.
36:25Slides it across to Palat.
36:27Loses the coverage there.
36:30Here's a shot!
36:31And the puck stopper hangs on to get a breather here for the team.
36:38St. Petersburg's had a lot to like about their game tonight.
36:41Decided advantage in the shot department, but they still trail here in the third.
36:45The Bears will start off on the attack after winning the draw.
36:51Quick pass to Struble.
36:55Back to the bowline.
36:57Quick feed to Struble.
36:59Looks to set up along the point.
37:01Stuck by the goaltender.
37:02He got a little piece of that one.
37:09The centerman glide into position.
37:16Off the draw, they take possession.
37:20Drake tries to force the turnover.
37:23Takes the feed at the point.
37:25Feeds it over!
37:28Handles the pass.
37:30Stuck by the goaltender.
37:33From one point line to another.
37:35And does it again!
37:37What a sequence!
37:38I mean, he's been outstanding making consecutive saves.
37:40I mean, his defense, they gotta start playing.
37:43My word!
37:44They've really got the run down here in their own zone!
37:53Carolina's across the blue line.
37:56Healers has caught him along the wall.
37:59Puts it on that.
38:00And that ricochets off a twig in front.
38:03And a great save!
38:05His shot's coming from the middle of the ice, and it has some heat on it,
38:08but he's ready and waiting for it.
38:09He's to position, and he makes the save.
38:14Oh, and it completely muffs the shot!
38:16Gets the puck over to Stone!
38:19Here's a short pass to Blake!
38:22Takes a shot!
38:24And that one's turned away!
38:26In front, and a stoppage on the play as the goaltender covers things up.
38:31The Canadians are up next on the schedule, and I hear tickets are still available.
38:35A few select seats, so get them now.
38:38There should be a good one coming up.
38:40Stiles won the draw!
38:42Threw to the wall!
38:44Threw to the wall!
38:45Threw to the wall by Hall!
38:48St. Petersburg's regained possession for the puck!
38:50Threw to the wall!
38:55More than half the period has gone by.
38:56I hope you're enjoying this one.
38:59The hurricane starts leading to a 2-1 lead.
39:02Stiles won the draw.

42:02With the backhand.
42:04That's stuck. Hashtag blocked.
42:08Goaltender covers up.
42:09We've got a stoppage in play.
42:13St. Petersburg's time is running out
42:15in this one to try to even things up.
42:17They've had plenty of scoring chances,
42:19but no finish tonight.
42:22Quick pass to Gostespierre.
42:24The Hurricanes are in transition.
42:28And that's broken up
42:29in the defensive zone by D'Angelo.
42:32Takes the pass in the left wing.
42:37Quick feed to Cartier.
42:40Moves the pass in front.
42:42Oh, and they couldn't complete that.
42:45The Hurricanes cross the blue line
42:47and are on the attack.
42:49Skates to the crease.
42:50And it scores!
42:52Sebastian Ojo!
43:02This is just a fantastic goal.
43:05I mean, the puck carrier knows exactly
43:07where he is on the ice.
43:08He trusts his end.
43:09He is baiting the defender
43:10to come and overplay.
43:12He turns quickly
43:13and powers to the net.
43:14You can just see the panic
43:15in the defender.
43:16Oh, I've been there, James.
43:17That is a tough play.
43:18Here in the late goings
43:42of the period,
43:43the Hurricanes have all the momentum
43:45right now, leading by two.
43:51Cartier's shot and play resumes.
43:53And now he tries to get it across
43:55to Jarvis.
43:57Intercepted at center by Barron.
44:00Grabs control of it at the point.
44:02That's some smart heads up
44:04defensive play by Sullivan.
44:07Handles the puck from the left side.
44:09Here's a short pass to Ojo.
44:12Good heads up play in the defensive zone.
44:15Pass to Barron.
44:17Off a stick and they can't connect.
44:25Slides it back to the blue line.
44:27A chance of the one-timer.
44:28Too much congestion.
44:30Gloss the shot.
44:31Now he scores!
44:42Right from a young age,
44:43you're working on small space games,
44:45and this is telltale reason why.
44:46Look at him in the low slot area here,
44:48just maneuvering,
44:49shifting his weight to the backhand,
44:51and he buries it.
44:51St. Petersburg's got to be feeling good about themselves now,
45:08making this a one-goal game.
45:10Benches up and stick-taps all the way around,
45:13getting within one goal in the third period.
45:15You know how important this face-off is to get possession
45:18and start attacking the Ozone.
45:21The Bears have it from their own end,
45:23and he moves it up to Kalat.
45:26Great pressure to force the turnover by Stoll.
45:29Shuts him down!
45:30I really like to save James,
45:32because he challenges the shooter
45:33who's all alone in the slot area.
45:35He turns aside a real dangerous opportunity.
45:38There's the whistle
45:39as the puck stopper likes to hang on.
45:44A bit of a track meet out here right now, James.
45:47I mean, highly entertaining.
45:48Not a ton of defense
45:49as both teams are trading scoring chances.
45:51This is a face-off.
46:04They'll definitely want to win here
46:06inside the offensive zone.
46:11The Hurricanes win the draw.
46:14Carolina's got a way to the puck.
46:16Taken by Hall.
46:18Bruce have quickly over to Glastisper.
46:22Puts it on that.
46:23And one last thing.
46:25Taken away, and he comes up back.
46:27And this one is all over
46:30as the final horn sounds.
46:33And the losing streak continues
46:35despite the fact that this was a game
46:36that was theirs for the taking.
46:38Yeah, and it's extremely frustrating, right?
46:40You felt like you could have had it.
46:41You came out on fire,
46:42and you just weren't able to capitalize
46:44and get it done.
46:45Today we have to figure out a way to reset here, James.
46:47Easier said than done, though.
46:49You can feel the energy
46:51just sapped out of the scoop.
46:53Well, that puts the ball on the night here this evening
46:55from all of us here at EA Sports.
46:56I'm James Sobalski.
46:58See you.
46:58We'll see you next time.
