00:00:30And now he tries to get it across to the brinket.
00:00:35And that was read perfectly.
00:00:37What a play by Finston.
00:00:39Big time block on the ball.
00:00:41He scores!
00:00:42Delivers something sweet in the back of the net.
00:00:54Well, he had his eyes on the puck.
00:00:55He tracked it perfectly and got himself set to position.
00:00:58James, I thought he had it.
00:00:59He got a good chunk of it.
00:01:00But he didn't get it all.
00:01:22St. Petersburg's probably confused a lot of fans just sitting down right now as they look at the score and
00:01:28go, what? There's a goal already?
00:01:29I mean, some of the fans aren't even getting to their seats yet, James.
00:01:32And, I mean, there's a goal in this game.
00:01:33And that's how you silence the crowd.
00:01:35That's how you create your own energy.
00:01:36It's being ready to play right from puck drop.
00:01:39Moses to Larkin.
00:01:40And he scores!
00:01:43He's still not at it, but it gets to go off him.
00:01:46It's in the net.
00:01:47And that's a goal!
00:01:49I think he makes a really good read here, James.
00:01:52He anticipates the play well and gets himself square to the shooter.
00:01:55But, unfortunately, this one hits him and he seems to be a little leaky because it finds its way to
00:02:00the back of the net.
00:02:21The Red Wings quickly even things up and sure, I'll tell you what, I like the direction this game's going.
00:02:26Yeah, I mean, it's back and forth action right now, and the coach has to love that response here, James.
00:02:31I mean, you're into the first period, you're in the first five minutes, and you're able to claw back and
00:02:35get the equalizer.
00:02:36Very assertive.
00:02:39Knees it over to Bastian.
00:02:42Dishes it off!
00:02:43Here's a chance!
00:02:45And that's deflected off someone in front.
00:02:48He's enough to Nizia with the save!
00:02:52Picked up by O'Brien.
00:02:54Oh, a legendary save!
00:02:57Pass across to Raven.
00:03:00Through the middle of the ice, they enter the attacking zone.
00:03:03Big time save and a big time shot!
00:03:11Lots of time left in this period.
00:03:13It's all tied up.
00:03:17The Red Wings take possession here inside the offensive zone.
00:03:21And a great save!
00:03:23Whether you're a player or a goaltender, so much of the training is about reaction, and you can certainly tell
00:03:28that it has come in handy for him because he makes an incredible save just by same instincts alone.
00:03:33And he sidesteps the check there.
00:03:37And he sidesteps the check there.
00:03:39Ground along the board by Pahal.
00:03:43Quick shot!
00:03:44Denied by the goaltender.
00:03:47Huck scooped up by Palak.
00:03:49And he sidesteps the feed.
00:03:52Huge steal in his own end.
00:03:54The Red Wings cross the blue line over on the attack.
00:03:59St. Petersburg's looking to break out at their own end.
00:04:03Palak's got the puck in his own zone.
00:04:06Slides it over to Obey Kubel.
00:04:08Heads it over!
00:04:10Stick save!
00:04:11And I think that went off the shaft of his stick there!
00:04:14I can dig it!
00:04:15Came up with the save on that play.
00:04:18Great positioning by the goaltender to redirect it to the corner, getting it out of danger.
00:04:24Shot!
00:04:24Cut the stop!
00:04:27Cut grab by Palak.
00:04:30Moves it quickly over to Carrick.
00:04:33And he takes the pass.
00:04:35That's a textbook save by Wabrowski.
00:04:38From the right side, takes the pass.
00:04:42St. Petersburg's ready to go on the attack.
00:04:49Grabs the puck at center.
00:04:52Dabrink, it's got it in the offensive zone.
00:04:56Here's a beating point!
00:04:58And he shuts down a great scoring chance there!
00:05:01And we get a whistle as the goaltender decides to hang on to this one.
00:05:06More than half the period left to play.
00:05:09The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
00:05:14St. Petersburg's got the puck after winning the defensive zone base off.
00:05:19Picking up steam in the offensive zone.
00:05:22And a stick in the lane deflects that one away.
00:05:26Handles the pass from the right side.
00:05:29Poked away by D'Angelo.
00:05:31St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards.
00:05:34Here's a short pass to D'Angelo.
00:05:37Moves the puck.
00:05:39Lead pass ahead!
00:05:44Handles it along the middle line.
00:05:46And the traffic neutralizes that threat.
00:05:52Taken by Appleton.
00:05:54Takes a shot!
00:05:56Oh, and he missed the net!
00:05:57Any time you're in the slot, you know that there's gonna be pressure right away, James.
00:06:00I think he heals this one and he sends it way off target.
00:06:06The Red Wings have it behind the cage.
00:06:09Oh, and some smooth skating to lose the defender there!
00:06:15Fires it on net!
00:06:18Spectacular stop by the goaltender!
00:06:19How did he hang onto that?
00:06:20I love how aggressive he plays the shooter on the inner slot here, James.
00:06:25He knows that he's gotta take away the net so he gets out and challenges to make the save.
00:06:29Both teams are set, they're ready to drop the puck.
00:06:33Can they take advantage after winning that draw?
00:06:35Scores!
00:06:36He's gonna take a trap to clutch!
00:06:39He's gonna take advantage!
00:06:40Now the lead is in their hands, and now it's about building all of that good shift management,
00:06:46dictating pace, controlling the offensive zone.
00:06:49Everything now is on the line.
00:06:52Man, is he ever good at deflecting the puck?
00:06:54It's all about getting the hands away from the body and getting to the area with good timing.
00:07:14The Red Wings have gone up by one here in the opening frame.
00:07:17How does this now change the complexion of this run?
00:07:20Well, I think it's really important because they got momentum right now.
00:07:23More jump to their step, and now they'll want to try and stay aggressive and increase that lead.
00:07:28Take the momentum and use it to their advantage.
00:07:31Quick pass to Struber!
00:07:33Smith's got the puck near the back end!
00:07:36Quick feed to Rollins!
00:07:38Big time stop!
00:07:40Detroit's looking to break it up!
00:07:42Amongst the puck chip!
00:07:44They've got the defense outnumbered!
00:07:46Oh, he's stopped!
00:07:47What a one-timer!
00:07:49Morazic's opted to hang on to the puck for a face-off.
00:08:12More than half the period has gone by.
00:08:14Hope you're enjoying this one.
00:08:15Detroit's got the momentum with a one-goal lead they'd love to add to that.
00:08:24Nice start winning the draw here inside the offensive zone.
00:08:27Big time stop there!
00:08:29Passes the puck over to Smith.
00:08:33Slides it across!
00:08:35Oh, he gets a blocker out of West.
00:08:37Stopped by Wabrowski!
00:08:39Breeze it perfectly and comes up with the takeaway.
00:08:42Shakes off the coverage.
00:08:46Blocks him!
00:08:47Huge play in his own end to come up with the puck!
00:08:52And loses possession after a solid hit!
00:08:55Passes on over to Edkinson!
00:09:00Sent in deep in the forwards will go to the bench.
00:09:03Slides it up to Obey Kubel!
00:09:06There's only one goal away, James, of his next milestone right here.
00:09:10Passes it to Kane!
00:09:11Moves it to Rayden!
00:09:13And that's out of reach and out of the offensive zone!
00:09:18Passes it over!
00:09:20The Bears played along the boards!
00:09:24Near the point!
00:09:26There's a shot!
00:09:27Denied by the goaltender!
00:09:33Well, I love this hit here, James, trailing in the game because it provides energy.
00:09:36It provides a spark.
00:09:38But he's trying to elicit response from the rest of his team.
00:09:41Because if all of a sudden they come out there and shift after shift, they start to impose their physical
00:09:45will, they're going to create momentum.
00:09:47And momentum can carry them back into this game.
00:09:51Carrick's got it!
00:09:52Now they'll look to see what they can do with it offensively!
00:09:56Unleashes the cannon!
00:09:58Shuts him down!
00:10:00Oh, and a smart heads up playing with the bank pass!
00:10:05There's a shot!
00:10:06And that tears off a body in traffic!
00:10:09Goaltender hangs on for the whistle.
00:10:15Here in the back half of this period, it's a 2-1 game.
00:10:22And they take possession here inside the offensive zone.
00:10:26Quick pass across to pull up!
00:10:30First way to the crease!
00:10:32Oh, going wide!
00:10:34Coaches often measure scoring chances and he does a real good job to get to that spot, but he will
00:10:40be disappointed.
00:10:40It's so difficult to get to, you want to convert when you're just there.
00:10:44Turns it aside!
00:10:45What a save!
00:10:47And the goaltender grabs not one for a whistle to try to slow things down here.
00:10:53St. Petersburg's got a lot of time to get back into this one.
00:10:56Lots of scoring chances, but they're still down.
00:10:59Moussa quickly over to Sider.
00:11:02Loses the coverage there!
00:11:05Dishes it off!
00:11:07Larkin's a true sniper, James, and he's already got two in the game, and you know he's looking for his
00:11:10third.
00:11:11Easily kicked away by the goalie!
00:11:14Morazic's got the puck and he's gonna hang on!
00:11:20St. Petersburg's hoping to even things up before this first intermission.
00:11:24They've had plenty of chances, but they still trail.
00:11:29They win the draw and go on the attack.
00:11:31And that's poked away by Kapanen.
00:11:35And now he angles it across to Eller.
00:11:37Grabs the puck here in the neutral zone.
00:11:40Strong defensive effort.
00:11:43From the open ice, they came the line!
00:11:46Climbing right to the front!
00:11:48Oh, I saved it! What a stop!
00:11:50Wow, that's desperation at its finest to be able to get to that puck and send a clear message to
00:11:55his team that he's behind and he's gonna be the foundation tonight.
00:12:00Such an impressive save, James, and I'd love to look at these ones again because it's not just being in
00:12:05great position, it's being desperate, it's finding a way to get to the puck, keeping your eye on it at
00:12:10all times, tracking it, out-battling and out-willing everyone around you.
00:12:24Just here in the late stages of this frame, it's 2-1.
00:12:32Detroit's got a hold of the puck.
00:12:34Here's a short pass to Appleton.
00:12:37And now let's dump it in.
00:12:40The Bears have it against the wall.
00:12:43And now they look to make something happen from the neutral zone.
00:12:46There's the whistle, let's get the call from the officials.
00:12:51Ellers going off for a pair for cross-checking.
00:12:54The coach isn't gonna be happy with this penalty, you have a one-goal lead, and now you find yourself
00:12:58back on your heels and the penalty kill has to come out and do a job.
00:13:02First chance of the night here on the man advantage.
00:13:05Well, they earned this a power play, James, through hard work and it's an opportunity to even the score here.
00:13:10They need to find a way to execute and get back to the even score.
00:13:15Fires it into the offensive zone.
00:13:17St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
00:13:22Palac's across the line now and on the attack in the offensive line.
00:13:26And that's poked away, what a stop there!
00:13:29Here's a pass to the middle!
00:13:31Drop in front!
00:13:33Passes out front!
00:13:34Oh, he comes up with a stop!
00:13:37The Redlands can control the puck against the wall.
00:13:41And they get the puck out of the defensive end.
00:13:44And the goal counter comes out to play the puck.
00:13:47The Bears move the puck in the defensive zone.
00:13:50Quick pass to Skrubel.
00:13:54And there's a great hit-side play by Gustafson.
00:13:57I get when you're losing, James, that you want to get something going.
00:13:59You want to spark your team. You have the puck on your stick.
00:14:02But sometimes you can try and do too much and I think that's a product of that as he loses
00:14:06the puck.
00:14:07Quick feed to Palac.
00:14:09Moves the pass and throws!
00:14:11What a chance, but they can't connect!
00:14:14Pup clears the zone.
00:14:18St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
00:14:26The Bears play the right way.
00:14:29Goaltender covers it up.
00:14:30We've got to whistle to slow things down.
00:14:34We've got to keep dialed in right now.
00:14:36Just have a look at that last save.
00:14:38I mean, he had to be moving extremely well in his crease to be able to get to position to
00:14:42make that save.
00:14:53St. Petersburg's ready to take the draw here on this power play.
00:15:01St. Petersburg's won it, now they'll go on the attack.
00:15:05D'Angelo's gonna play it against the half wall.
00:15:09That takes the shot!
00:15:11And that says why!
00:15:13If you're in the slot, you've got to hit the net.
00:15:15Puck slid down the ice.
00:15:17Time running out with his man advantage.
00:15:20Here we go.
00:15:21St. Petersburg's in now.
00:15:26Heaps it over!
00:15:27What a great read breaking up the pass.
00:15:30Puck moved back to center, forcing them to regroup.
00:15:33St. Petersburg's got it from behind the net.
00:15:36The Red Wins preserve the lead as their penalty killers get the job done.
00:15:40In hockey, we say timing is everything.
00:15:43And when you're down by a goal and you have an opportunity on the power play,
00:15:47you have to cash in.
00:15:48And the whole bench knows that that was a missed opportunity.
00:15:51In the final moments of this period, it's a 2-1 hockey game.
00:15:57Block ticking down here inside the first period.
00:16:02Takes the feed!
00:16:05Looks to set up along the point.
00:16:06Oh, how did he get a piece of that?
00:16:11Takes a hit, he goes down to the ice and toss up the puck.
00:16:14But he made this hit on the back and it opens up some space.
00:16:19Bobrovsky's gonna give everyone a chance to breathe and hang on to the puck.
00:16:23Well, that's how you get a puck, James.
00:16:25I mean, you recognize the timing it takes to meet your opponent right at the right time.
00:16:29I mean, that's just an explosive hit. Gets the job done.
00:16:35St. Petersburg still trailing here in this opening period,
00:16:38despite excellent scoring opportunities in the offensive zone.
00:16:42And they win the draw. Now let's see what they can do with it.
00:16:46On the backhand!
00:16:48Oh, what a tough game with time winding down!
00:16:51Well, the play might come to an end for a few minutes at the end of this period,
00:16:54but the coaching never stops.
00:16:56I'm sure there'll be a few messages and a few words and we'll be back with period number two in
00:17:01no time.
00:17:02We'll be right back!
00:17:03We'll be right back!
00:17:04We'll be right back!
00:17:07Let's play the game with the game services counter!
00:23:07And we're just moments away from the start of period number two.
00:23:13Second frame is underway as the puck is dropped.
00:23:16Let's get the challenge.
00:23:17Let's get the challenge of Cheryl Pounder back into this one.
00:23:19What do you make of the first 20 minutes of action?
00:23:20The Bears had a strong period, James.
00:23:22I really like the first 20 minutes, their effort, their underlying numbers.
00:23:26They have the majority of possession, but they are trailing by one.
00:23:29So they're going to have to have instincts around the net, look to attack, drive, and put it by the
00:23:33tender.
00:23:34St. Petersburg, they're going to have to have the next one, and the other thing, they're going to have to
00:23:39have to have to have to have to have to have to have the first two.
00:23:42Larkins won the face-off
00:23:44deep inside the offensive zone
00:23:48Looking to set up offensively
00:23:54Slides it across
00:23:58Slides the puck over
00:24:03Struble's got it along the way
00:24:04Oh, that's a great shot
00:24:07Well, yeah, I mean, it's great at scoring chance
00:24:09and you want to make sure that you get in front of that one
00:24:11and he gets all of it
00:24:16Both sides getting ready for this face-off
00:24:18and Sherlock can think of a keeper right now
00:24:21who would love nothing more than another minute here
00:24:23Well, he's extremely fatigued, right, James?
00:24:25So this is a critical juncture of the game
00:24:26If you're on the offensive side of the puck
00:24:29you want to continue to wear down your opponent
00:24:31because you know that this court-time is fatigued
00:24:33he's vulnerable
00:24:33and you've got to find a way to capitalize on the opportunity
00:24:37Nowhere for that shot to go through
00:24:41St. Petersburg's got the puck now
00:24:43Some nice good work here across the line
00:24:46And he slides it directly to Struble
00:24:48He scores!
00:24:51Targeting!
00:24:52Well, you can't worry about what happened in the game, James
00:24:54It's all about what you do now
00:24:55staying in the present
00:24:56that's exactly what they've done
00:24:57and they've got the equalizer
00:25:00On a deflected shot
00:25:01everyone always talks about the stick positioning
00:25:03How about the timing to get to the slot area as well
00:25:06and the ability to just tap it down and redirect it
00:25:27St. Petersburg's been right there with them all night long
00:25:31and look at this, we've got the equalizing goal
00:25:32Yeah, that counter punch was something, James
00:25:35to be able to get the equalizer
00:25:36you can see the excitement on the bench
00:25:38that's going to provide a lot of energy in the second period
00:25:42Takes the feed
00:25:45Takes the return feed
00:25:49Here's the clearing of the touch
00:25:53Oh, against the tired defenders
00:25:55as icing is the call
00:25:59Well, I love what he's trying to do here
00:26:00James, he wants to separate the body from puck
00:26:03and that's exactly what you've got to do
00:26:04You've got to play with a competitive edge
00:26:06and an intensity
00:26:16Still plenty of time left in this frame
00:26:19We've got a tie game
00:26:23St. Petersburg's won the defensive zone drop
00:26:27Receives the pass
00:26:33Puts a little mustard on the hips
00:26:35and out the front loop
00:26:36Big C by the goaltender washing that one
00:26:39Oh, he had a beat
00:26:41but it goes off the inside post
00:26:43I love offense, James
00:26:45I never really provided any
00:26:46and I would have missed this one
00:26:47but right in there on the tender
00:26:49and isn't able to get it in the 4x6
00:26:52instead it hits the pipe and out
00:26:56They'll look to maintain the momentum
00:26:58with this offensive zone faceoff
00:27:00This is game management
00:27:01and attack mentality
00:27:02recognizing that there's an icing
00:27:03and your opponent is vulnerable
00:27:05Put the puck to the net
00:27:06The goaltender's gas
00:27:07Take away his eyes
00:27:10And here at center
00:27:11That's intercepted
00:27:13Along the right wall
00:27:15and into the offensive end
00:27:17The Reddins look to start
00:27:19the transition game
00:27:21Detroit's got the puck
00:27:22at the defensive end
00:27:23And he's knocked off the puck there
00:27:27St. Petersburg's game
00:27:28possession along the boards
00:27:31Hall has crossed the line
00:27:33and came to zone
00:27:35Beautiful read
00:27:36in the defensive end
00:27:36by Stenland
00:27:40Kropeneng's got the puck
00:27:43Let's move to the middle
00:27:44and that goes off the body
00:27:46and arrived
00:27:48And now it's grabbed by Struble
00:27:52And that's off a stick
00:27:54Passes it over
00:27:57St. Petersburg's got to hold him
00:27:58against the wall
00:28:00And a star
00:28:01St. Petersburg's got to go ahead
00:28:03And Cole puts them in front
00:28:05Well, and this has been trending
00:28:07to happen, James
00:28:07They've been closing on the puck
00:28:09quickly since
00:28:09an upward trajectory
00:28:11as this game's progressed
00:28:12and they find the back of the net
00:28:14You can see it
00:28:15in the goaltender's body language
00:28:16He isn't happy with that
00:28:18He thought he was in good position
00:28:19square to the puck
00:28:20unfortunately got it
00:28:21but not all of it
00:28:35St. Petersburg's gone up by one
00:28:37here in the second period
00:28:38and I like that jump
00:28:40and their step
00:28:40we're starting to see here now
00:28:42We've really seen an uptick
00:28:43in their momentum
00:28:43in the last few shifts
00:28:45and they're rewarded
00:28:45with that goal, James
00:28:46They've got to continue
00:28:47to attack the net
00:28:48Ski downhill
00:28:49and not be afraid
00:28:50to get to the beat
00:28:52And that's loose puck
00:28:54and he's in all alone
00:28:55All close to the wall
00:28:57Gus, he knew it
00:28:58but it pays off
00:29:00Shakes off to the cover
00:29:01with some nifty moves
00:29:04And that puck leaves the zone
00:29:06Picked up along the wall
00:29:07by Gustafson
00:29:11St. Petersburg's got control
00:29:13of it now from the road end
00:29:15Puts a run into the wall
00:29:17Now this is great
00:29:18He closes quickly in
00:29:20You can hear the boards
00:29:21reverberate, James
00:29:22This is a huge hit
00:29:24Lose it to D'Angelo
00:29:26That's a damn stop
00:29:31Takes the pass
00:29:34Nice zone entry from the middle
00:29:36Lose it quickly over to Eller
00:29:41Pass right back
00:29:43Tried to get out of the defensive end
00:29:45And that one's blocked
00:29:47It stays in
00:29:49Bastion's got it across the line
00:29:52Sends it outside
00:29:53And that carries off a twig in front of him
00:29:57We got a penalty coming up here
00:30:01There's the whistle
00:30:02And here's the goal
00:30:04Best kids going off to the box for two minutes
00:30:07These are the ebbs and flows of the game
00:30:08You're leading in it
00:30:09You take an untimely penalty
00:30:11Now you gotta kill it off
00:30:11You gotta find a way to get out there
00:30:13And make sure the equalizer
00:30:14Is not scored on your watch
00:30:23The first penalty kill of the game for this group here
00:30:26We know their penalty kill is linked for the bottom of the league
00:30:29But this group's got a lot of confidence
00:30:31A lot of energy
00:30:32They just might be able to shut down this power wave
00:30:35Shot!
00:30:35Oh, how about that for sacrifice?
00:30:38Well, P.K. have to sacrifice
00:30:40And I love the way that he gets out there aggressively
00:30:42And make sure that that shot does not get to the middle
00:30:45And we are doing it after you come up over
00:30:48Well, this is actually a huge change
00:30:51Power waves are supposed to give you momentum
00:30:53And you accidentally get it when you get the equalizer
00:30:57But a goaltender may want this one back
00:30:59As he looks and opens up the 5-hole
00:31:02And this is because he shows good patience to open it up
00:31:28We are all tied up in this one
00:31:34Detroit's gonna start off with the puck here in the neutral zone after winning that fix-off.
00:31:38And the puck's not loose.
00:31:42Tries to feed it across.
00:31:45Larkin's taking it from his own end.
00:31:50Taken along the wall by Sider.
00:31:52Here's a short pass by Larkin.
00:31:57At center ice now, he grabs the puck.
00:32:00Fires it!
00:32:01There's the whistle as the puck goes up and over the glass.
00:32:05Larkin's bobblehead night coming up next game.
00:32:08This thing looks fantastic.
00:32:10You wanna get your hands on one of these?
00:32:11Grab your tickets while you still can.
00:32:20Stenland's won it off the faceoff.
00:32:23Sends a pass over.
00:32:25Puck picked up by Barron.
00:32:28Detroit's looking to break out at their own end.
00:32:31Oh, great move to sidestep the check.
00:32:35The Bears gain possession along the wall.
00:32:38St. Petersburg's crossed the line and on the attack.
00:32:46From the point, they take control of it.
00:32:52The Red Wings, they're playing in their own end.
00:32:55And now he moves it to Sider.
00:32:58Oh, look at this.
00:33:00Oh, what a stop.
00:33:02Brasic's made a great save and even better as the redirect to the corner.
00:33:07Puck exits the zone.
00:33:09Oh, look at this.
00:33:11Here's a chance.
00:33:12Here's a chance.
00:33:12Oh, and somehow he gets a sliver of it and keeps it up.
00:33:17Tries to get it over to Carrick.
00:33:21St. Petersburg's got a hold of the puck.
00:33:25There's the whistle icing the call.
00:33:27Big faceoff looming.
00:33:28Cheryl, the name of the game is winning, but you gotta think ownership's loving these packed houses night after night
00:33:35after night.
00:33:36Show me the money, James.
00:33:38The concessions are lined up and you can certainly see the colors of the team being worn by all of
00:33:44these people in the seats.
00:33:45You gotta believe this franchise is pretty happy.
00:33:51The Bears gain possession.
00:33:54St. Petersburg's on the attack.
00:33:56Detroit's gained possession.
00:34:00They're picking up steam through the neutral zone.
00:34:03Takes that pass back to the point.
00:34:06That's blocked.
00:34:07Handles the pass.
00:34:09There's a firm collision.
00:34:11And a stick in the lane ends that threat.
00:34:15They've got some momentum here.
00:34:18Takes a shot.
00:34:19And it says no.
00:34:22Trick pass to Kane.
00:34:26Detroit's got the puck against the boards.
00:34:28And too much traffic in front blocks that one.
00:34:32They go on the attack through center.
00:34:35Dishes out.
00:34:36Puts it on that.
00:34:37Turn to side with the glove by Bobrovsky.
00:35:01Getting into the later stages of this period.
00:35:03You can feel the energy in this crowd.
00:35:06It's a tie game.
00:35:09Larkins won the draw here in their own zone.
00:35:11Angles it over to Raven.
00:35:13And he coughs it up with the pass.
00:35:17The Red Wings take the putt through the neutral zone.
00:35:21St. Petersburg's got control of it now from their own end.
00:35:25Into the offensive zone.
00:35:27Feeds it over.
00:35:29And he sidesteps the chip. He's got a step.
00:35:32Oh, he dies above the play.
00:35:34And this is a great play by the tender to anticipate and get across to make that save.
00:35:41Horacek's tracking the puck extremely well right now.
00:35:44Just have a look at that last save.
00:35:45To be able to get in front of that puck.
00:35:47To be able to keep it out of the net.
00:35:49Outstanding performance by him on that last one.
00:35:58And we're moments away from getting back underway here with the puck drop.
00:36:08And they win the defensive zone faceoff.
00:36:12The Bears are across the line and into the offensive end.
00:36:16And he loses both the puck and his balance after that hit.
00:36:20Quick feed to Dabrinkit.
00:36:24Detroit's got him along the wall.
00:36:26Shot.
00:36:27And takes that one right in the chest and got us it off.
00:36:34Oh, it's gonna feel great after this score here, James.
00:36:37He's had multiple one-timer opportunities, which means he's getting to the right spot, his wheelhouse.
00:36:42And now the puck is distributed perfectly to a sec.
00:36:45He tees it up.
00:36:45And he winds up with the G.
00:36:47He's getting to the right spot,iney.
00:36:54He's getting to the right spot!
00:37:03Now there's one to face off here in the offensive zone.
00:37:06Big time.
00:37:12And he denies that great opportunity there.
00:37:17Here's a shot of getting the denial by the goaltender.
00:37:26The last six made an incredible save there.
00:37:29I'm not sure how he kept that out of the net.
00:37:31Just really athletic.
00:37:32I mean, you have to be acrobatic to be able to get to the top of your crease like that.
00:37:36Because he read it perfectly to be able to make the save and keep it at bay.
00:37:44Here in the late goings of the period.
00:37:47It's all tied up.
00:37:52Heller has won the draw and they're on the attack.
00:37:55Oh, great play, a sidestep, a poke check.
00:37:58And that's a great way to push the turnover.
00:38:02One possession along the wall.
00:38:04Scrum along the wall.
00:38:07Passes it in front.
00:38:08And that's stuck.
00:38:10Looks to make a play over to Sider.
00:38:16Turns it over.
00:38:26All right, we've played now 40 minutes in this one and still a critical 20 minutes still needs to be
00:38:32played.
00:38:33Go stretch your legs, grab that final snack because the third period is just around the corner.
00:38:38It's the chance to see the greatest talents in the world when they visit our city.
00:38:42See the official website for details on upcoming concerts.
00:38:57All right, let's go.
00:38:59Let's go.
00:39:12Receive his hands.
00:39:14Let's go.
00:39:14Let's go.
00:39:22Let's go.
00:39:45Let's go.
00:40:16Let's go.
00:40:44Let's go.
00:41:17Let's go.
00:41:48Let's go.
00:42:14Let's go.
00:42:45Let's go.
00:43:15Let's go.
00:44:09Let's go.
00:44:13Oh, we've got a piece of it to keep it out.
00:44:16Oh, and some smooth skating to lose the defender there.
00:44:19He's an overrunner rush.
00:44:21He's going to stop it.
00:44:23It's not overrunner.
00:44:26It's not overrunner.
00:44:26It's not overrunner.
00:44:27It's very timely, isn't it, James?
00:44:28To give them the lead and also the confidence that they've shown these past few shifts led to that opportunity.
00:44:34I love the way they were able to execute on the way they were able to execute on this odd
00:44:37man rush, James really used the ice to their advantage, manipulating their opponent, the ice that they did have.
00:44:42And then they were able to do it.
00:44:44And then they were able to capitalize when the shot came their way.
00:44:45And then they were able to capitalize when the shot came their way.
00:45:11Put them back on their heels.
00:45:13Put them back on their heels.
00:45:13Be in the offensive zone where they can't get an opportunity to attack you.
00:45:19Passes it over.
00:45:21Scores!
00:45:22And we are tied.
00:45:24New game here, Pounder.
00:45:25Oh, yeah, it's a new game, James.
00:45:27But I really like the pushback to get the equalizer.
00:45:29Now it's what they do with that momentum.
00:45:31This next shift, it's critical.
00:45:34This is a real tough play for a goaltender to get a read on, James.
00:45:37You're in that inner slot area.
00:45:38The puck's on the backhand fighting for position and getting it off quickly.
00:45:42That's a tough one to read and the reason why it goes to the back of the net.
00:45:59We're still in the early stages of this period.
00:46:01The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
00:46:06The Red Wings get a hold of the puck off the draw.
00:46:10For the right wing, he moves it to the middle.
00:46:13Dabrinket's been showing his creativity tonight.
00:46:15His ability to open up the ice and create lanes all around him.
00:46:19And this is generating offense.
00:46:20And the coverage doesn't know what to do
00:46:22because they're typically used to seeing him attacking the net himself.
00:46:26They fight for it along the board.
00:46:28And not much on that one.
00:46:30Sends the pass over.
00:46:36Bobrovsky's gonna hang on to the puck for a whistle.
00:46:42Clayman's been outstanding tonight, James.
00:46:44Multiple puck touches all around the net.
00:46:46I mean, his underlying metrics are gonna be off the charts,
00:46:48including his expected goals.
00:46:50He finally gets one.
00:46:52You can see that body language certainly change.
00:46:54He's had the puck on his stick all game long.
00:47:08Setters gliding up to the faceoff.
00:47:10Dots here.
00:47:18Carrick's won the draw here, and they'll go on the attack.
00:47:23Moussa quickly over to Pahol.
00:47:26Palak's looking around at the point.
00:47:28Dishes it off.
00:47:30Denies him on the slobber.
00:47:32Works it across to Pahol.
00:47:34Oh, another save!
00:47:36I'm not sure where the defense is, but I'll tell you what,
00:47:38the goaltender has been outstanding,
00:47:40made a flurry of saves to keep his team in this one.
00:47:45They gain the offensive zone from the middle.
00:47:49Graves control of it on the point.
00:47:51Graves the puck and looks to make something happen.
00:47:54Stops and Cole!
00:47:57Goaltender covers up and will get a faceoff.
00:48:04Lots of hockey left to be played in this period.
00:48:06Boy, he got a tie game.
00:48:12Detroit's won the draw, no goal of work.
00:48:14And he gets in front of the spot shot to make the save!
00:48:20The Bears take it along the wing.
00:48:22Three, three!
00:48:23That's the line, over there!
00:48:25St. Petersburg's got the puck along the boards.
00:48:30Taken by Pahol.
00:48:32And that pass is redirected.
00:48:36Takes it across the blue line.
00:48:38Shakes off the coverage.
00:48:40Chases off!
00:48:41Chases off!
00:48:43Scores!
00:48:43My left is Shannon Toney!
00:48:46Sometimes you can feel the momentum swing, James,
00:48:49and you can tell that they're playing with more confidence,
00:48:51and also results.
00:48:52They get a little puck puck and they put it in.
00:48:55I love the way that he creates the space with his speed here.
00:48:59And, I mean, if you look at him in the way he attacks,
00:49:01he knows exactly where he's gonna go.
00:49:03He's driving play because he trusts his feet.
00:49:06I mean, he is so fast.
00:49:07He blows by the defender, and then he puts it in.
00:49:09That's just great from start to finish.
00:49:20Detroit's gotta feel like they've got some extra energy now
00:49:22with that one goal lead here in the third.
00:49:24Well, you can see the finish line, but you're not there yet.
00:49:26So you gotta make sure that you continue to press change.
00:49:29You gotta close quickly on your opponent when they have the puck.
00:49:32Don't give them an inch in all three zones.
00:49:35And he makes a solid line!
00:49:42Lovarski's really had the pulse of his team this game, James.
00:49:45I mean, making some huge saves at the right time,
00:49:47and that's what you need from your goaltender,
00:49:49to sort of weather the storm when they have to
00:49:51and make the timely save when they need to.
00:49:53You garner momentum from it.
00:49:54It's uplifting and it provides energy.
00:50:05Engine closer to the midway mark of this period.
00:50:09Detroit's got a one-goal lead.
00:50:14St. Petersburg's gonna start with the puck
00:50:16inside the offensive zone.
00:50:18Tees it off!
00:50:20Oh, he's stopped on Brockham!
00:50:22Here's a blast!
00:50:23Don't lose him again!
00:50:25Well, now saved by the goaltender,
00:50:26and even better is that he redirects the puck
00:50:28to the corner to safety.
00:50:30Tries to feed it over to top.
00:50:33Carries the puck inside the neutral zone.
00:50:36Takes the B from the left side.
00:50:39Here's a chance!
00:50:40Throws it in front!
00:50:41And he shuts down a great score.
00:50:43He can't stand!
00:50:45Lovarski's gonna hang on for a whistle.
00:51:06They'll be looking to keep that momentum going here in the faceoff.
00:51:09After that last shift change where they really pressed,
00:51:11they want to continue right there, get pucks to the net,
00:51:13because this goaltender will not want to battle net front.
00:51:16He's outworked already.
00:51:21Here we go!
00:51:22Pucks in deep!
00:51:23St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall!
00:51:28Here's the ball breaker!
00:51:30They score it!
00:51:31It's back to Phantelis!
00:51:32Yeah, they've been chomping out the bit.
00:51:35Now they've got the opponent on your heel.
00:51:37They need a quick change here,
00:51:38and find a way to continue the momentum.
00:51:42The goaltender isn't gonna like this.
00:51:43Anytime you lose the puck down low and you turn it over,
00:51:46you don't allow your goaltender or your coverage
00:51:48to get to position.
00:51:49This is a tough one.
00:51:50He's unable to get set and he gets beat down low.
00:52:02Detroit's got the lead, but it's been an unconventional way
00:52:05to get here with this two goal advantage in the third.
00:52:07Yeah, their opponent has certainly had more shots than they have,
00:52:10but listen, when you execute,
00:52:12you find a way to get to the middle of the ice,
00:52:14and you look at the opportunities and capitalize,
00:52:16this is what happens.
00:52:17One, two, three, seven!
00:52:21The Redlands ready to go on the attack.
00:52:24And he was quick there to make the stomp on that lane.
00:52:27And will get the whistle after the goaltender hangs on.
00:52:32St. Petersburg's had a lot to like about their game tonight.
00:52:36Decided advantage in the shot department,
00:52:38but they still trail here in the third.
00:52:40And they'll start with possession.
00:52:43Stopped by the goaltender.
00:52:44The lane was plugged up, and that shot's blocked.
00:52:49From the left side, they gain the zone.
00:52:53Here's a short pass to Obey Crabill.
00:53:01Sets a pass in charge!
00:53:05St. Petersburg's got possession here in the offensive zone.
00:53:09But Brodsky's got it, and the officials blow the play dead.
00:53:12Well, this is a smart play.
00:53:14He's been dialed in all night,
00:53:15and recognizes that he doesn't want his team to make any mistakes.
00:53:19The safe play sometimes is to hold on.
00:53:23Block is dropped, and we are back underway.
00:53:26And they'll go on the attack with pressure by Carrick.
00:53:29But Brodsky's gonna opt for the whistle.
00:53:31I don't mind this call here in the third.
00:53:33Neither do I.
00:53:34Listen, he has been so dialed in all night, James.
00:53:36He has been excellent, arguably their best player.
00:53:38And he's trying to preserve the lead here by holding on to this one to get the faceoff.
00:53:47Carrick's won the faceoff, and now let's see what they can do.
00:53:51From one point man to another.
00:53:56Detroit's gonna play the puck from behind the cage.
00:53:58There's the whistle as the puck is frozen out.
00:54:01The Flyers are up next on the schedule, and I hear tickets are still available.
00:54:06A few select seats, so get them now.
00:54:08Should be a good one coming up.
00:54:12St. Petersburg's won the draw.
00:54:15Here's a centering pass.
00:54:17And he comes up with a stop.
00:54:20Slides it diagonally to Raymond.
00:54:22Quick shot!
00:54:24Stopped by the goaltender.
00:54:25Picked up along the boards by Debrinko.
00:54:28Oh, and another big stop!
00:54:30Just fantastic work by the goaltender, making consecutive saves.
00:54:34How athletic.
00:54:35St. Petersburg's Achilles' heel tonight has been finding offense as they trail here in the third.
00:54:44The Red Wings win the draw.
00:54:46Redirected and throw it!
00:54:48Fantastic save!
00:54:50Quick pass to Carrick.
00:54:52And tries to make a diagonal pass to Pallott.
00:54:56Stuttering pass in front!
00:54:58Oh, and they couldn't complete that!
00:55:00Scores another one-timer!
00:55:03Detroit's got him in the wrong zone!
00:55:06They've got numbers!
00:55:08Moves the puck up to Aimee Kubel.
00:55:11Slides into Barry.
00:55:16Here's a chance in front!
00:55:19Puck scooped up by Chirac.
00:55:22Detroit's got it in their own zone.
00:55:26Shot!
00:55:27There's a great save and an excellent chance there!
00:55:31Into the offensive end now.
00:55:34Pants it over!
00:55:35Slides it across!
00:55:37And that's intercepted by Edmondson!
00:55:40As an athlete, you always want to try and contribute and get things going for your team run, especially when
00:55:45the trail run it night has sparked.
00:55:47Unfortunately, though, he died a little too much there and it gets taken away.
00:55:51Icing is the call.
00:55:53We'll get a face-off at the other end.
00:55:57Teams are ready to go and we're about moments away from puck drop.
00:56:05The Red Wings win the draw and they go on the attack here in the offensive zone!
00:56:09Out of possession, right off the draw, James against a very tired group who just iced the puck leads to
00:56:15an opportunity.
00:56:16And they'll cover it up, force it to stoppage and play.
00:56:22A big face-off here inside the offensive end.
00:56:30St. Petersburg's got it and they're on the attack!
00:56:34Takes the shot!
00:56:35The nice one!
00:56:37The nice one!
00:56:37The nice one!
00:56:37The nice one!
00:56:38The nice one!
00:56:39The shooter on that plane!
00:56:40Leaves out back on his opponent right now.
00:56:42He is so dialed in, he's trapping the puck, making save after save.
00:56:46It's about time this team starts working in front of him.
00:56:49Puck sent over to Cartier!
00:56:54Pests it over!
00:56:55Huge steal on his own end!
00:56:59What an entertaining game, James!
00:57:01A lot of goal calls for you as it's been back and forth action in the offensive zones.
00:57:05Not much defensive structure to this one as everyone's looking to attack.
00:57:09Takes the puck at the point!
00:57:11Quick feed down low!
00:57:13St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the defensive zone!
00:57:17Hammers along there!
00:57:18Oh, and it goes right up the post!
00:57:21Puck is frozen and we get a stoppage and play.
00:57:25Plastic found his rhythm here as we look at that last save.
00:57:28I mean, he has to be so on the mark right now.
00:57:31Too positioned to be able to make it.
00:57:33His read is perfect, he's tracking well.
00:57:35He has to be quick in that letter to make that one.
00:57:43St. Petersburg's offensive struggles have been the story tonight.
00:57:46Lots of chances, just not a lot of results.
00:57:49Head off the draw, they'll take possession.
00:57:52Quick feed to pull up.
00:57:56And he takes the dish.
00:57:58Comes up with a stop!
00:58:00Wabrowski has faced a lot of shots tonight, James, and he's been dialed in and made the necessary saves, but
00:58:05his team's been excellent in front of him, generating some offense and the reason why they have a lead.
00:58:11Moussa to Carrick.
00:58:12The Bears take it across the line.
00:58:16Touch to the front!
00:58:18Shot!
00:58:19Oh, what did he get?
00:58:20A glove on that!
00:58:21What a stop by Wabrowski!
00:58:23What an incredible glove saved by the goaltender.
00:58:26I mean, he gets out to the top of his crease.
00:58:28He's challenging.
00:58:28He's saying, hey, try and beat me on this side.
00:58:31Setters glide into the dot as a face-off, ready to resume play.
00:58:37Stenlund's won the draw, and they'll look to set up.
00:58:40Moussa quickly over to Lozov.
00:58:43Lifts some open space here in the neutral zone.
00:58:45I don't think anybody was hanging onto the puck after that hit.
00:58:49What a hit against the wall there!
00:58:52And they'll get a breather as the goaltender covers it up.
00:58:58Wow, James, I mean, not everyone can elicit a thunderous hit like that.
00:59:01I mean, he just clobbered his opponent.
00:59:22The Red Bings won the draw now.
00:59:23Let's see what they can do with it.
00:59:25And that carries off a stick!
00:59:27We got a stoppage as the puck sails over the glass.
00:59:34Oh!
00:59:41Can they take advantage after winning that draw?
00:59:44Makes the save and putting out a fire in front!
00:59:49Steps inside the line!
00:59:51Dishes it off!
00:59:53Oh, it comes up with a big stop there!
00:59:56Bogoski's in such great position.
00:59:58He's able to redirect that puck to safety right to the corner.
01:00:01Goaltender has made his way to the bench.
01:00:04The extra attackers out.
01:00:05They need a goal here big time.
01:00:07Sends it over to Kane.
01:00:09To the empty net!
01:00:10Score!
01:00:12James on the goal!
01:00:13James on the goal!
01:00:14This is nothing new for him.
01:00:15He's 21 of the season.
01:00:17James hit him.
01:00:17He's got an unbelievable ability to disguise his shot.
01:00:21Absolutely incredible.
01:00:2220 already!
01:00:25Let's have a strong effort all the way around.
01:00:27Stingy defensively at the end of the game.
01:00:29And they're able to get that empty netter against the dying minutes here, James.
01:00:33It should seal the deal.
01:00:34St. Petersburg's gotta start to recognize a sense of urgency here.
01:00:38They continue to trail into the third.
01:00:40They have plenty of chances but can't finish.
01:00:43The Bears have it from their own end.
01:00:48The Redlands have it now.
01:00:51St. Petersburg's regained possession of the puck.
01:00:54And it's stolen by Gustafson.
01:00:56Detroit's been so impressive tonight.
01:00:58They're stealing pucks.
01:00:59They're finding ways to put them in.
01:01:00And it's been a blowout.
01:01:02Coach has gotta be impressed.
01:01:04Look at this!
01:01:05And Gustafan is here on the attack!
01:01:09Gets control of the puck here in his own end.
01:01:11Quick pass to Heinen.
01:01:16Now listen to these fans.
01:01:18You know, tickets aren't cheap.
01:01:19They got a podcast.
01:01:20And I think everybody got their money's worth.
01:01:23Listen to them here!
01:01:29The Fishers are in position.
01:01:30And both teams are getting ready as they get set for another face-off here.
01:01:36The Redlands win the defensive zone face-off.
01:01:41Can't complete the pass as it goes off a stick.
01:01:44And it is all over with this win!
01:01:47Well, here we go.
01:01:48The losing streak continues here.
01:01:51I mean, this has gotta really test this team in turmoil too, I would be sure.
01:01:54Yeah, and you have to have the mental resilience and fortitude to be able to overcome it.
01:01:58And easier said than done, James.
01:02:00I mean, to be resilient, you have to find a way to get through these tough patches.
01:02:04Overcome adversity.
01:02:05But it all starts with one shift gravitating towards a positive nature.
01:02:09Because right now, we're deflated.
01:02:11That'll do it for tonight's broadcast here for all of us in EA Sports.
01:02:16On this romantic day, we'll feel the love from us to you.
01:02:20Happy Valentine's Day.
