00:43ice
00:48we got a whistle as the puck's frozen Tucker's timing has been a little bit off in terms of
00:54his offensive skill set you know just a little bit too late a little bit too early a reason why
00:59he's on this pointless streak now I think we'll get it together here James he just needs one to go
01:03in
01:04to reset the temperature the Senators take it along the wall grabs the puck in the corner and that's off
01:23a
01:23stick St. Petersburg's got a hold of it against the wall takes the feed up ahead the Bears carry it
01:31along
01:34the wall moves it quickly over to Sterling denied by the goaltender Burroughs doesn't look like he took any time
01:41off at all and we all know that he was rehabbing that injury but he's involved in the play right
01:45off the hop chomping at the bit to get involved great scoring chance there
01:48lots of time left in this period the game is still scoreless here's a short pass to Lozaj he tips
01:57it oh what a chance there well it almost looked like he converted quickly shot he had no time or
02:04space but unable to put it by
02:08here they come on the attack down the left side can't keep a hold of it as he's jostled off
02:14the puck
02:16tries to get it to pull up St. Petersburg's got the puck against the boards and that's a smart
02:22hits up play by Sheru
02:28avoids the defender
02:30oh he got pulled by Russell
02:33this is an incredible athletic save but this is all instinct there's no time to put yourself to position you
02:38just react and if you get there you get there
02:40what a great job
02:44the Bears have it now
02:47here's a stretch pass to Stenland

03:38grabbed along the board by Pahal
03:42speeds the puck over to Kertzi
03:46keeps it over
03:47and he turned that one aside
03:50St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall
03:54St. Petersburg's got it against the boards
03:56stopped by the goalkeeper getting a piece of that one
04:00risky play with the paddle
04:01but it works
04:04from the open ice they gain the line
04:08oh look at the pass
04:10and he comes up with a stop there
04:13puck is frozen and we'll get a face off
04:18teams are lined up and we are ready to take this draw
04:25Holliday's got it now they'll look to see what they can do with it offensively
04:29taken by Trilola
04:31Lovacic's got the puck and he's gonna hang on
04:45St. Petersburg's won the defensive zone draw
04:48out of his puck possession here in the offensive zone
04:51he'll need more than not to beat him
04:53the game has changed so much
04:55it's so fast and the athletes are so strong
04:57I mean the training that you have to undergo
04:59whether it's in the gym or it's functional
05:01you know that these guys are constantly working
05:03in small space areas
05:05working on their games
05:06working on their legs
05:07their foundation the lower half is so critical
05:09and this is a perfect example
05:11here we go
05:12out of his game possession
05:18through the middle of the ice
05:19they enter the attacking zone
05:21oh how did he get a piece of that
05:24the Bears take the puck through the neutral zone
05:27here's a chance
05:28oh and he gets a piece of the puck to deny them there
05:36inching closer to the midway mark of the period
05:39still looking for our first goal
05:42puck is blocking and wins the draw here in the defensive zone
05:46steps inside the line
05:49moves it to the middle
05:50what a chance but they can't connect
05:55quick pass to Pallott
05:57the Bears played along the boards

06:19well past the midway mark of this period
06:22we're still scoreless
06:27and they take possession here in the offensive zone
06:29and time to go on the attack
06:35this is an impressive save right here James
06:38I mean it's a ton of net scores
06:52he's dialed in from start to finish on this goal here James
06:55I mean he wins the loose puck battle
06:56he's got great positioning he fights for it as well
07:00and then he powers out
07:01I mean he recognizes that he can take the ice
07:03not allow his defender back in
07:05and he takes it to the paint
07:20St. Petersburg's jumped ahead by one here in the back half of the opening period
07:24that goal ahead goal should give him a real shot in the arm
07:27a boost of energy James
07:28as they finally get rewarded for their shots to nail
07:31I love their puck pursuit
07:33it has been outstanding in this game
07:35but they can continue that
07:36and continue with the momentum
07:37you gotta feel and believe that they're gonna get another one
07:41the Senators in transition at center

08:30Zamoula has been playing unbelievable
08:32I mean such a ton of confidence
08:33he's on this point streak run
08:35and anytime the coach looks down the bench

09:55that's taken away
09:56great defensive effort there

10:00this is a really nice save James
10:02I mean the shooter's in the middle of the ice

10:04and he's got to get to the top of the crease
10:06square to the puck to be able to make that save
10:08great job

10:11the Bears have taken a 1-0 lead
10:15Denison

11:21and I mean that's just an explosive hit
11:22gets the job done
11:27some last second communication with the D
11:29as centers get ready to drop the puck
11:36the puck is dropped and we are back underway
11:41Spence is taking it from his own end
11:43puck scooped up by Halliday

17:31One, two, go!
17:35In front of the net and the goaltender covers up for a whistle on the play.
17:42Carrick's ready to take the draw here on this power play.
17:50And they hit the draw here in their own end.
17:54Handles the puck.
17:55Looks to pass it to Sitterland.
18:22Looks to pass it to Sitterland.
18:25Coming up here by the official.
18:26Coming up here by the official.
18:27Whistle blow stopping the play.
18:30Clements getting called for two minutes here by the officials.
18:33When you're down a goal.
18:34When you're down a goal, you can't generate any offense if you're shorthanded.
18:37They're gonna have to be opportunistic, find a way to kill it off, and then reset the momentum.
18:49St. Petersburg's got a five-on-three, but not a lot of time to work with.
18:53A short five-on-three here, James, that you know that they're gonna crash the net.
18:56They've got to get it on their stick, off their stick, and they've got to crowd the front.
19:01Grabs the puck here in their own end.
19:05Right to the front!
19:08Fantastic save!
19:09Slides the puck ahead to Courtsier.
19:12Moussa to O'Brien.
19:14Looking to make something happen along the boards.
19:17And that's intercepted in the defensive end.
19:20The Senators are doing a great job of anticipating the play,
19:23and that's why the puck is on their stick.
19:25They're intercepting pucks all game long.
19:28They've got to make good on them.
19:29They've got to transfer it, head north, and start cashing in.
19:34And he takes the dish.
19:36And a stick break set up.
19:39Takes the puck as the clock ticks down on the penalty kill.
19:43Couldn't catch up to that pass.
19:46The Bears scoop it up along the boards.
19:48Moves it quickly over to Obey Kubel.
19:54For the most long!
19:56Sends it out in front!
19:57And that's stuck!
20:02And he takes the feed.
20:05Takes the pass as he banks it off the wall.
20:08Dishes it off!
20:10Here's a short pass to Obey Kubel.
20:14Ottawa's got the puck in the defensive end.
20:18St. Petersburg's got the puck.
20:23And he passes it up ahead to Obey Kubel.
20:31Ottawa's got a chance to work the transition game now shorthanded.
20:34And tries to make a diagonal pass to Sitterland.
20:39Sends it over!
20:40Made the stomp on that play.
20:43St. Petersburg's got control of it now here on the offensive end.
20:48Clevens standing up, ready to go.
20:50Middle, middle, middle!
20:51St. Petersburg's got the puck against the half wall.
20:54The Bears run out of time on the man advantage.
20:57Both sides back to even stroke.
20:59Buddy Landridge says it all, James.
21:01Have a look at the unit here.
21:02Every single one of them deflated.
21:04They know that they needed to score.
21:06And this is the expectation of the power play.
21:08And they go back to the bench with their heads facing their skates.
21:24Still plenty of time left in this frame.
21:27We've got a 1-0 hockey game thus far.
21:34Stenland's got the puck and they'll go on the attack.
21:38Tucker's exploring options along the line.
21:42And he takes the feed.
21:44The one-time blast!
21:46Scores another one-timer!
21:48Oh, the puck check!
21:50What a read by the one-timer!
21:51There's a stop at the puck for Hallmark.
21:55Now holds the puck check and maintains possession.
21:59Push it on it!
22:00Nowhere for that shot to go through.
22:03Tucker's looking pretty banged up out there, James.
22:05Looks like he's fighting, pushing through something.
22:07He's struggling to get to the end of the shift.
22:10And they strike Cater once again.
22:13Yeah, they do.
22:14And their opponents down on their heels are deflated.
22:16They've got to find a way to continue with the pressure.
22:18Be relentless and try and get another one.
22:21You can see it in the goaltender's body language.
22:23He isn't happy with that.
22:25He thought he was in good position, square to the puck.
22:27Unfortunately, he got it, but not all of it.
22:43St. Petersburg's now extended the lead to two goals here in period number two.
22:47Well, they came out fine, didn't they, James?
22:49I mean, they've been outstanding in all areas of the ice.
22:52They pounced on loose pucks and they've been able to take it to the net.
22:56Ottawa's trying to make something happen in the offensive zone.
22:59Morazic's going to keep and hang on for the whistle and just slow it down a little bit here.
23:04As a goaltender, you always have to be mentally focused and ready to make a save, James.
23:07He hasn't been busy this period, but they're in the lead, so it's a safe play he elects to hold
23:11on.
23:15And they take possession off the draw here in their own end.
23:18Here it is, it's loose.
23:20Stopped by the goaltender.
23:22Taken along the wall by O'Brien.
23:25Carries it in.
23:26Here's the chance on the attack.
23:29Gray heads up play in the defensive zone.
23:31Quick pass to Sanderson.
23:41Lowe's on stick handling in his own zone.
23:45Pucks down the ice.
23:47We'll get an icing.
23:52Still lots of time left in the period.
23:55The Pairs have all the momentum right now, leading by two.
24:01Adler has won it, now they'll go on the attack.
24:03Center wins that one clean.
24:05Everyone's ready for the puck.
24:06They know they're attacking now with a tired boot that they're playing against.
24:11The Senators take it along the wall.
24:13Let's it go!
24:15Big time block on the plate!
24:16Well, he's doing what it takes, James.
24:18And listen, Coach is going to love that one.
24:20I expect to see him out here again.
24:22Along the half wall with the puck.
24:25One timer!
24:26And stops that big bomb!
24:29Moves the puck.
24:31Quick feed to Drake.
24:34Loses his check and he's on a breakaway!
24:37Scores!
24:39Six goals!
24:45We don't get many odd man rushes throughout a game, James.
24:48You have to capitalize on your opportunity.
24:50I thought they executed perfectly.
24:52They didn't overpass.
24:53The right player took the right shot.
25:08The Senators finally have something to build on here in period number two.
25:12That's one of the only shifts this period where they drove the net and they've attacked James.
25:16They've got to find a way to possess the puck and get more shots on that.
25:19They've been outshot this period.
25:21Scooped up along the wall by good shot!
25:24Steps in front of that one!
25:26Ottawa's got it now!
25:28Back to the point it goes!
25:30And we'll get a reset after the puck goes up and out of play.
25:35There's always certain players that know when something needs to happen in the game.
25:39Listen, they're trailing in this one and you have to be aware of how you can ignite your team.
25:44Well that is a huge hit and you can see just in the response that it elicits from the bench.
25:51St. Petersburg's message was clear coming into this one.
25:55Lots of shots on net and they lead here in this second.
26:00Back underway as he wins the draw inside the offensive line.
26:04And a great save!
26:06This is a fantastic save, James. He's all over.
26:09What I mean by that is he knows exactly where it is and where it's moving.
26:13The reason why he can get square to it and make the save.
26:18Barron's cut it against the boards.
26:20And that turns off a party in traffic.
26:23Ottawa's got a whore of it along the wall.
26:27Inside the offensive zone.
26:30Musa took off the save.
26:31And that's a great heads up in the defensive zone to force the turnover.
26:38Burrow scoops it up here inside the defensive zone.
26:41And now it's over to Kapanen.
26:46The Bears looking against the half wall.
26:49That's blocked!
26:50Battling forward along the boards.
26:52And that battle along the wall comes to an end.
26:55They score!
27:06How many times have we seen this before?
27:08The play comes back in your own zone.
27:09There's a scoring chance that they're unable to convert on.
27:11And you get going the other way and you're able to execute.
27:14It really is a 200 foot game.
27:33St. Petersburg's on a roll tonight.
27:35Look at this.
27:35They've now extended the lead to two here in period number two.
27:39Yeah, James and the analytics department's gonna love the possession time.
27:42And when I look at those numbers, I'm looking at how they convert and translate.
27:45into goals and they've done a real good job of executing.
27:49For the right wing, he moves it to the middle.
27:52Piers it over!
27:54Ottawa's got control of it now from their own end.
27:58Here they come on the attack.
28:00Tries to feed it over to Cousins.
28:03And there's the save.
28:05Murazic's been solid here tonight, James.
28:07I mean, look at his save percentage.
28:09He's been excellent between the priests.
28:11And that's making the saves that you need to and you want to at the appropriate moment.
28:14Man, his team's been effective going on.
28:17Ottawa's won the draw.
28:18Here he is! It's dropped!
28:20And the ball counter comes up with a piece of it to keep it out of the net.
28:24Takes the feed from the left side.
28:27Moves it quickly over to Cousins.
28:30Right through center and into the offensive zone.
28:33Turns it aside with the glove.
28:36Feeds the puck across to Stenling.
28:40Slides it across!
28:41Oh, what a stop on the play!
28:44Gets all of it with the paddle!
28:50The Bears will be tough to beat tonight if they continue to play the way they have been.
28:54Really active in the offensive zone.
28:57Gets all the way they have been.
29:00Glen Dennings won the draw and they'll look to set up.
29:03And he'll take a moment to regroup back at center.
29:07St. Petersburg's got a hole in the puck.
29:10Here's a short pass to Luzon.
29:16He's got the puck.
29:19Slides that one right across the blue line.
29:24And puts it anywhere but the way he wanted it to go.
29:28Oh, that's a really tough shot.
29:29He would be frustrated with it, James.
29:31But I really like the position he got to.
29:33I mean, it's hard work to get to the middle of the ice if he gets there with good timing.
29:37And some smart heads-up defensive play by Halliday.
29:41Sends it into the offensive zone.
29:44Grabbed along the board, Bartoloma.
29:46Stacked by the goaltender.
29:48And the puck stopper hangs on to get a breather here for the team.
29:53More than half the frame has been played here.
29:56St. Petersburg's got a 3-1 lead.
30:02The Senators win the draw.
30:05Gives up the body for the block.
30:07Big time stop there.
30:09And that's just out of reach.
30:12And he sidesteps the check there.
30:15Oh, and some smooth skating to lose the defender there.
30:18And he's got that one.
30:22There's a solution for some authority.
30:26Here in the corner, he grabs the puck.
30:29Picked him along the boards by Patterson.
30:32He grabs the puck.
30:34Patterson!
30:35He's in!
30:36He scores!
30:43Batters up, hey, James?
30:45I mean, you look at that puck as it elevates.
30:47I just love the way that he's got his eyes on it the whole time.
30:50He makes contact, and he puts it in the net.
31:06Ottawa's got one back here late in period number two.
31:09Now, can they even things up?
31:11They need to get the equalizer, and the best way to do it is stay connected as a five-player
31:16unit.
31:16They did real well in that scenario in that last sequence to get that goal.
31:20They'll need to continue where they left off.
31:22St. Petersburg's got the puck behind the net.
31:29Good possession along the wall.
31:31And too much traffic in front blocks that one.
31:35Ottawa's got a hold of it against the wall.
31:37St. Petersburg's got control of the puck.
31:40Picked up along the wall.
31:42I saved it!
31:43What a start!
31:44Well, that's desperation at its finest to be able to get to that puck and sending a clear message to
31:49this.
31:49Shaves the defender!
31:50He's on the front of the way!
31:52Makes the save!
31:54Oh, and this is a great save.
31:55You can see this one-on-one battle, and the goaltender is so dialed in tracking and makes that save.
32:05From Court Lake!
32:06Oh, he got all of that!
32:08What a save by Omar!
32:10What a fantastic save from a high-danger scoring area, James.
32:13And he's nailing his team out.
32:15They have to do a better job of protecting the middle of the ice.
32:18Taken along the wall by Lazard.
32:21And he slides in quickly to Pahal.
32:25Second intermission approaching quickly here.
32:30Grabbed in the open ice by Shammat.
32:35St. Petersburg's regain possession of the puck.
32:38The Bears will play it in their own end.
32:42And there's the whistle icing the call.
32:47Well, a save like this, it'll wake up your entire bench.
32:51I mean, this is a game-changer, James.
32:53Talk about change the momentum of a game and a timely save.
32:56That's one right there.
33:02Nice!
33:12Teams are ready for the draw. The Lionsmen about to drop the puck.
33:21They win the face-off here in their own end and take possession.
33:25Well, there was certainly pressure on the center to win this draw,
33:28coming off of an icing where everyone's tired.
33:30When you get the win, you get out of your zone.
33:35And with that, two periods now in the books.
33:38Been a great night of hockey here on EA Sports,
33:40and we got the third period coming at you in moments.
33:45We'll see you on a couple of days.
33:47Let's keep you guys clear during the playoffs.
33:50Wait for a break in the action to win or return to your seat.
33:53Let's go.
33:55Let's go.
33:56Let's go.
34:09Let's go.
34:20Let's go.
38:543-2 is where we're sitting.
39:01And momentum on their side as they win the draw here inside the offensive zone.
39:05Quick pass to Skrubal.
39:28Quick pass to Skrubal.
39:56St. Petersburg's taking a two-goal lead to jump out here in period number three.
40:00Well, and they're in attack mode, aren't they?
40:01Well, they're in attack mode, aren't they? I mean, this is just a different team to start this third period.
40:04Now it's about maintaining that control, that killer instinct, and trying to ride it to the finish line.
40:09Quick feed to Skrubal.
40:11Pass to Skrubal.
40:14Pass to Skrubal.
40:41Oh, absolutely push at the start.
40:44Oh, you gotta love this stuff, James.
40:46The game within the game.
40:47And this is a one-on-one battle.
40:49And this goaltender, he knows exactly where he's at, and he wins it.
40:52Burrows is directing traffic out there with his stick right now on his offside.
40:56Isn't he, James?
40:57I know where that puck was going.
40:58Did you?
40:59Because he's had multiple opportunities from that one-timer position.
41:02It's set up perfectly.
41:04He unloads, he explodes, he gets all of it, and he gets the goal.
41:09Lots of time left in this period.
41:12St. Petersburg's got a two-goal lead.
41:13They'd love to build on it.
41:19Stenland's won it off the faceoff.
41:22Moves it quickly over to Skrubal.
41:25Takes the feed.
41:27Stenland's got the puck in his own zone.
41:31Well, look at this, Cheryl.
41:33Here we go.
41:34The parade is officially underway.
41:36It certainly is.
41:37And everyone in the building, you can hear the crowd just jeering with their frustration,
41:41including everyone on the bench, completely deflated right now.
41:45A non-stop procession with a penalty box for the home team.
41:52Another power play opportunity coming up here.
41:55Power plays, more time on the ice, the ability to get that puck moving.
41:59These players know exactly what they're doing.
42:02They work on it in practice.
42:03Some of them earlier today at the pregame.
42:05And they talked about the execution and the precision in particular with their puck movement.
42:13Hallmark's going to hang on to the puck for a whistle.
42:20Carrick's ready for the draw as we get set to resume this power play.
42:30The Senators win the draw.
42:33Slides the pass over to Craig.
42:36The Bears pick up the puck here in the neutral zone.
42:40Passes it over.
42:41Turned aside by Ova.
42:43And he denied that opportunity.
42:48Slides it diagonally to Ova.
42:52Has no front.
42:53Oh, they couldn't complete that.
42:55Oh, he'll feel that one.
42:57What a block.
42:58Well, he's firing on all cylinders here, getting to that shot lane.
43:00He really anticipates the greatest threat on the ice.
43:03And he makes sure that he redirects that puck.
43:06Denays him.
43:07He got all of it.
43:08There's the whistle as the puck is frozen up.
43:11Oh, he's ready for the draw as they will continue to try to kill off this penalty.
43:22Ottawa's got it in the offensive zone.
43:25And he gets in front of it to block it.
43:30Quick shot.
43:31And that one's turned away.
43:38Moves it on over to Zamola.
43:39Here's a short pass to O'Brien.
43:46Slides the puck over.
43:47Comes up with a stop.
43:49Moves the puck across to Sherry.
43:52Dumps the puck in.
43:57Quick pass across to Barron.
44:01Long pass into the neutral zone.
44:05Slides the puck down low.
44:08Full fight for the puck along the boards.
44:11And a stick in the lane to flex that one away.
44:15Ottawa's got it from behind the net.
44:20Peasins' penalty is about to expire.
44:24Quick pass to Barron.
44:26Burrows is playing with a ton of confidence tonight.
44:29And I guess because he's got a multi-point night, James.
44:32Omar's got the puck and he's going to hang on for a whistle.
44:35Well, there's only one reason that this game is tight, James.
44:37It's the guy between the crease.
44:38He elects to hold on to that one.
44:40He has been dynamite.
44:41St. Petersburg's got the lead early in the third period.
44:44They have been the far busier team offensively tonight.
44:49Tanks it to the other point.
44:53Takes the pass.
44:55The lead is plugged up and that shot's blocked.
44:58Play is whistled dead as the puck goes up and over.
45:02St. Petersburg's been total non-stop action on the offensive end.
45:06And they continue to lead in the third.
45:09Quick feed to Spence.
45:14Ottawa's got the puck along the wall.
45:16St. Petersburg's looking to break out of their own end.
45:21Here's the pass and bridge.
45:23And he shuts down a great scoring chance there.
45:30Enching closer to the midway mark of this period.
45:33St. Petersburg's been the better club
45:35as they hold a 4-2 lead at this point.
45:38Moves it to Ajo.
45:40Oh, he tracks it perfectly in the offensive end.
45:43Oh, what a stop by Omar.
45:45Mark.
45:51Officials getting ready to drop the puck.
45:53Puck possession so key in today's game.
45:57Ottawa's got a hold of the puck.
46:00Dishes it to Ajo.
46:03Ottawa's looking to break out.
46:05Moves it quickly over to the side.
46:08Oh, we'll get some tired defenders as icing is the call.
46:26Stenlund's won the draw in his own end.
46:28Now let's see if they can clear it.
46:30Here they come through center and into the offensive end.
46:33Ottawa's got the puck.
46:35Here's a short pass to Ajo.
46:40And he makes a save there.
46:42And the puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play.
46:56St. Petersburg's won the draw.
46:58Quick pass to Glenn Denning.
47:01And now he moves it quickly to Bastian.
47:04And he loses both the puck and his balance after that hit.
47:09Great pass from the left wing.
47:12Escapes to the crease.
47:13Scores!
47:15And just love it.
47:16Well, we've got a long back in.
47:18Yeah, yeah.
47:19I mean, it's much less daunting now.
47:21Isn't it, James?
47:21James, that will be striking distance to get the equalizer.
47:24They're going to have to continue to play aggressive and try and layer some good shifts together.
47:29But this goal has it all.
47:30And you have to shake your defender, which is not easy to do.
47:33But it's power.
47:34It's explosiveness.
47:35And then the recognition that you created the lane for yourself.
47:38I love it from start to finish.
47:40That's a tremendous goal.
47:46The Senators desperately needed something, and they finally made it happen.
47:50Now they're in the final frame here, but they got one back.
47:54And you know what that's like as an opponent.
47:56And you know that that team is coming, and they're a wave.
47:59There's a lot of urgency, and they're a dangerous team right now.
48:02And a great scene!
48:05Slides it up there.
48:07Kapanen's loving the puck.
48:09Kept speed to Barrow.
48:16And we'll get a face-off after the offside call.
48:23The Bears have shown no signs of stopping putting pucks on net,
48:27and they lead it here in this third.
48:31Ottawa's won the draw in the neutral zone.
48:35Handles the pass in center.
48:38Some solid defensive work in their own end with the poke check.
48:42And he tossed it out in the pass!
48:44Morazic's gonna hang on for a whistle.
48:51Plenty of playing time left in this frame.
48:54The Senators still trail by a goal here, but they are back into this one, only down by one.
49:00Ottawa's won the draw.
49:01Now let's see what they can do with it.
49:05Stooped up along the wall by Patterson.
49:08Great heads-up play with the stick by Kapanen.
49:12The game certainly isn't predictable, is it, James?
49:14As it's going back and forth, goals from all areas as players shoot from all angles and attack the zone.
49:21Kapanen into the attacking area from the left side.
49:25St. Petersburg's caught him along the wall.
49:30Moves it to Kapanen.
49:33Receives the pass.
49:40Angles in along the view line.
49:42Blocked in traffic.
49:44Angles in over to Kachuk.
49:46He carries the puck up a long way.
49:49Went for the dirty dangle and it goes sideways.
49:52Trying an empty move when you have good hands.
49:54Sometimes it works, sometimes you get denied.
49:56And that's what happened there.
49:58And that's off a stick.
50:01Huck grab by Kachuk.
50:03Takes the pass.
50:07Breaks it into the slot.
50:09Knock it.
50:10There's so many moving parts in the game of hockey, which is why it's one of the most difficult sports
50:14in the world.
50:15And he gets to that prime time scoring area.
50:18You don't get that too often.
50:19And he just sails in.
50:20He misses the net.
50:22Past the midway mark in this period.
50:24St. Petersburg's clinging to this 4-3 lead.
50:28What a stop!
50:32The Senators can control the puck against the wall.
50:36I don't think anybody was hanging on to the puck after that hit.
50:39And the puck departs the zone.
50:43On the attraction of the boards.
50:47Slides it across to McCormick.
50:49Pushes it across to Shabbat.
50:52St. Petersburg's ready to go on the attack.
50:56He grabs the puck here on the board.
51:00St. Petersburg's got the puck.
51:03Sends a pass over.
51:06Lose the puck along the half wall.
51:09St. Petersburg's gained possession.
51:13Gaining momentum along the way.
51:15Takes the puck at the point.
51:17St. Petersburg's got the puck along the way.
51:18That's right.
51:18That's right.
51:18That's right.
51:19It's amazing to me how he always looks like he's in the right position because he tracks
51:23and reads the play so well.
51:24And this time he gets in front of the puck that's right in the middle of the ice as
51:27the shooter's got a dangerous opportunity.
51:29Both teams gliding into position and the official set to drop the puck.
51:35Off the draw, they take possession.
51:40Slides it on over to Cederville.
51:42Slides the puck across to Spence.
51:45Oh, look at this chance.
51:48Puck picked up by Fabry.
51:52Look at this down the right wing.
51:54They're on the account.
51:56Dishes it on.
51:58Moves it quickly over to Burrows.
52:02Handles the pass.
52:05Clopped in front.
52:09Takes that pass back at the point.
52:11Gets the stick on it.
52:12Great read by the keeper to poke it away.
52:15And that's broken up with a stick in front.
52:19Across the line from center.
52:21St. Petersburg's got the puck in their own end.
52:26Sends the pass over.
52:27Big time save.
52:29Oh, my goodness.
52:30Moves it on the window.
52:32This time it's all about the competitive will to get to that puck.
52:35Allmark's able to square up to the shooter right here
52:38who's in a dangerous position in the slot area.
52:40What a great save, James.
52:42Moves close to the point.
52:45The Bears played along the boards.
52:49From one end of the blue line to the other.
52:52And that pass goes off a stick.
52:54Oh, and it'll be in short.
52:56Works it across to Cederville.
52:59Handles the puck.
53:01They've got numbers here.
53:03Sharp!
53:04Love save made by Marazic.
53:11I love watching saves like this.
53:12I've been watching over and over again, James,
53:14because you can see the competitive instincts in him.
53:17He has lit a fire under himself and his entire team
53:20with that one right now.
53:21I thought it was in, but clearly it was not.
53:26A big pass-off here inside the offensive end.
53:33St. Petersburg's taking possession in their own end.
53:37Grabbed along the boards by Kapanen.
53:40Slides the puck down low.
53:43Breeds it perfectly and comes up with the takeaway.
53:46Well, you play the game differently depending on the situation.
53:49When you're up, you've got to know it.
53:51And you've got to game manage.
53:52And you've got to puck manage.
53:53That turnover, coach isn't going to like that one at all.
53:57Under a minute to go.
53:58And a stick in the lane ends after it.
54:03Here's a shot.
54:05Easily turned aside by Marazic.
54:07Ottawa's goalie is on the bench.
54:09The extra attacker has jumped into the play.
54:11Oh, there's a big time hit.
54:14Lots of massive and timely hit there, James.
54:17Saw his opponent with the head down,
54:19lined up perfectly, and threw it.
54:21Just love the physicality and the intensity of this play.
54:25Takes the feed at center and moves forward.
54:28On the clock, just to make something happen.
54:31Taken by Lazard.
54:33Here's a short pass to Stedman.
54:36Oh, and that doesn't go well.
54:41And he takes the dish.
54:45And this one is all over as the final horn sounds.
54:50Oh, that win has got to feel good
54:52after the losing streak finally comes to an end.
54:55James, it always felt like after, you know,
54:57you exited a losing streak,
54:59you really had an opportunity to reset.
55:01Why? Because you were starting on a win.
55:03What you can do is now build on that,
55:05build on habits,
55:06but they've got to string a few together to build momentum.
55:09Thanks so much for joining us here.
55:11It was a fun one to call,
55:13and we will see you soon.
55:14For all of us here at EA Sports, stay safe.
