00:00:00To be continued...
00:00:35Hello everyone, welcome inside, I'm Josh Richard Ross alongside Darren Pang here on EA Sports.
00:00:41And there's nothing like a fresh homestand to reset the season, get the crowd ready to
00:00:46go to see their team in action tonight.
00:01:00So we are just about ready to get underway here, two teams settling in, goalies give their
00:01:05signals that they are ready, and we are set to go here.
00:01:11The Ducks have the opening draw, and the first period is underway.
00:01:17Picked up by Carlson.
00:01:20Along the boards, they take the puck.
00:01:24Puck cradled by D'Angelo.
00:01:27D'Angelo, and he fires it to Harris.
00:01:32The Ducks have it now.
00:01:34Goche, quick reflexes there, what a save.
00:01:38What a save.
00:01:40From the slot, that is a quality chance, and somehow he shuts the door.
00:01:43Picks in the puck, can't collect that dish.
00:01:47D'Angelo, and he quickly goes to Smith.
00:01:51St. Petersburg's got the puck back along the boards.
00:01:54He has it now along the point.
00:01:57Disrupts the possession on the poke check.
00:02:00Now a quick pass to Mikheyev.
00:02:03And now he sends it down below the goal line.
00:02:06In front, blocked.
00:02:09The crew have gained control along the wall.
00:02:13Blocked away by Husserl.
00:02:16In front, see!
00:02:19He's got that one, too!
00:02:21And there's a long connection to Terry.
00:02:26Morrelson!
00:02:27Play is stopped.
00:02:28Will regroup.
00:02:30And get ready for another face-off.
00:02:32Setting the tone with a big hit early in the first period,
00:02:35well, that tells the team how you're going to play.
00:02:37It also tells the other team how you're going to play.
00:02:39That's the key to this hockey game.
00:02:45Lots of hockey left to be played.
00:02:47Dead even.
00:02:48No goals yet.
00:02:53Anaheim's won the draw.
00:02:54They're looking to go to work here.
00:02:56St. Petersburg's got it back now.
00:03:01Crisp short pass to Chizom.
00:03:03Quickly to Marchment.
00:03:05Taken at the point.
00:03:07Ozone pressure continues as they take the puck.
00:03:11Scooped up by Lacombe.
00:03:15And he sends it across to Petrano.
00:03:18Granlind.
00:03:19And that won't get through.
00:03:22Hangs on to that puck.
00:03:23Will get ready for another face-off as the whistle blows.
00:03:36The Ducks win the face-off.
00:03:38They'll take control.
00:03:39St. Petersburg's on it now in the defensive zone.
00:03:50Zeri.
00:03:51Zeri.
00:04:11That's a hard read for any goalie partner.
00:04:14He gets down into the butterfly like he's supposed to.
00:04:18Squares up as best he can.
00:04:19But when that shot comes through traffic, you're almost reacting late to something you don't pick up cleanly.
00:04:24And this one slips right past him.
00:04:34St. Petersburg's getting the start that they wanted.
00:04:37An early goal on the road can really calm down the nerves.
00:04:40Let's see where they take it from here.
00:04:42Let's see where they take it from here.
00:04:42Up by one.
00:04:45The Ducks have control off the draw.
00:04:47And we stay right with the flow here.
00:04:50Kriner.
00:04:51And a penalty coming up as the whistle blows.
00:04:56That's one of those momentum swing penalties right there, Bucci.
00:04:59When you're protecting a one-goal lead, your killers have to settle it down, get in the lanes, clear rebounds,
00:05:05and grind this out.
00:05:21The Ducks will get their first power play of the game here.
00:05:24Yeah, and this is a real big opportunity here.
00:05:27Pendulum-like momentum can swing on a power play.
00:05:29And down by one, this is where you can get back to even.
00:05:32And he blocked that one.
00:05:34That's a hard play, Bucci, but a really important one on the penalty kill.
00:05:41Carlson.
00:05:42And now he pushes that across to Kreider.
00:05:46Grand Lins.
00:05:47Good defensive play there with the stick.
00:05:49Can't quite connect.
00:05:51Punched away with the blocker.
00:05:53Boy, that's sharp goal setting right there.
00:05:55Subway!
00:05:56That one stays out.
00:05:58Look at that compete level right there.
00:06:00Coming up with one stop and then another.
00:06:04The Ducks with the puck now.
00:06:08Broken up on the poke check by Hallander.
00:06:10Well, this is just an outstanding poke check.
00:06:13That's not an easy play for a defender in a high danger area.
00:06:15You have to stay calm, have an active stick, and make sure your timing is perfect to break up that
00:06:20scoring chance.
00:06:22And he pushes that across to Carlson.
00:06:27He sends it back to the point.
00:06:29Now back to the athletic save.
00:06:32Soderblom's made the save and steered that puck right to the corner.
00:06:35A smart play to keep it out of danger.
00:06:37The Ducks take it now.
00:06:43Soderblom's made the puck right to keep it out.
00:06:45Soderblom's made the puck right to keep it out.
00:06:45I'll tell you what, that's a big-time stop.
00:06:48From the low slot, things happen quickly, but the goalie's ready for it.
00:06:53Sends it forward.
00:06:56Crisp short pass to Gauthier.
00:07:00Puck comes out, and they'll regroup.
00:07:02The linesman blows the whistle.
00:07:04That's offside.
00:07:06Oh, that kind of save just changes the momentum of the game.
00:07:09Listen to the crowd.
00:07:10Listen to the bench.
00:07:11Holy jumper, that's one of the greatest saves I've ever seen.
00:07:24So the linesman has the puck.
00:07:27Players get into position, and this penalty kill will resume.
00:07:37Face-off one, and they have it.
00:07:39Can't handle that pass.
00:07:42Nice pochek there by Miramanov.
00:07:45Puck picked up by the PK unit, looking to ice it.
00:07:50Chisholm.
00:07:54Sweet little dish there.
00:07:56The Ducks take over possession.
00:07:57Good job by the PK unit there.
00:08:00They kill off the penalty.
00:08:02Protect the one-goal lead.
00:08:04That was a chance to grab the equalizer right there, but it doesn't happen.
00:08:07Now the push has to come at even strength, and the bench has to stay engaged as they continue to
00:08:12trail by one.
00:08:16St. Petersburg's picked it up along the wall.
00:08:19He gets a piece of the pad on that one.
00:08:25Tape to tape.
00:08:27Killorn.
00:08:28Denied!
00:08:29Boy, that takes a lot of determination in the tight area.
00:08:32He got jostled, he got pushed, and still he had the poise to hang on to that puck and get
00:08:37a good look on that.
00:08:38Taken by Killorn.
00:08:40Now he moves it to Zari.
00:08:44Nice read by Henestrosa.
00:08:46You're up in the game, you can't turn it over.
00:08:48Don't overcomplicate this thing.
00:08:50Keep it moving.
00:08:51Gets the whistle, play is stopped, and we'll get ready for another face-off.
00:08:58Not quite halfway there yet.
00:09:00We've got a 1-0 score.
00:09:06The face-off is won, and they take possession.
00:09:09D'Angelo.
00:09:11Can't quite connect on that pass.
00:09:16Good play there on the probe chair.
00:09:19The crew have the puck along the board.
00:09:23Puck picked up along the wall by Glenn Denny.
00:09:28St. Petersburg's got it back in the defensive zone.
00:09:31Quickly moves it to D'Angelo.
00:09:39Can't get it off.
00:09:41Can't get it off.
00:09:41Picked off.
00:09:42Good read.
00:09:43Lister stick takes the puck.
00:09:45Appleton sends it wide.
00:09:49Tosses it to Mikheyev.
00:09:50Tosses it to Mikheyev.
00:10:17That pass just out of reach.
00:10:20Just missed that connection.
00:10:22Nice deflection.
00:10:23Play is stopped, and he'll take the face-off.
00:10:30Ducks perhaps a little frustrated in this one.
00:10:33They're getting more pressure, but trail midway through the first here.
00:10:39Offensive zone face-off one.
00:10:41And stares down that shot.
00:10:44Gets the whistle, and he'll take the face-off.
00:10:50The linesman calling the players in, about to drop the puck.
00:10:57St. Petersburg's won the draw, and they have it.
00:11:02Sends it over.
00:11:05Breaks it up on the poke check.
00:11:07The whistle blows.
00:11:09Gets the stoppage, and he'll take the face-off.
00:11:23Offensive zone draw is successful.
00:11:26And that's moved quickly to Tucker.
00:11:29Nice read.
00:11:30Interception.
00:11:33The crew have the puck along the boards.
00:11:40Intercepted.
00:11:43Passes it.
00:11:45Good defensive play there on the poke check.
00:11:49And it's a quick pass to Johansson.
00:11:53Granlund.
00:11:54Granlund!
00:11:55Great save by Soderblom.
00:11:59Quick take-to-take to Zari.
00:12:06Whipped on the shot.
00:12:08Oh, not quite.
00:12:10Hope checked away by Aston Reese.
00:12:13Good hit there.
00:12:15Aston Reese!
00:12:17Blocker saved by Huso!
00:12:19Boy, that's sharp goaltending right there.
00:12:21It comes from the low slot, and the goalie stays right with it, makes the read, and shuts
00:12:26the door completely.
00:12:27Barely got a piece of that one!
00:12:30What a smart save there.
00:12:31Not only does he make this stop, he steers it right to the corner and out of danger.
00:12:35Puck sent over to Hallander.
00:12:39Hallander!
00:12:40Deflected away.
00:12:42And the puck is covered up.
00:12:44The whistle blows.
00:12:46And we'll get a break here to our next face-off.
00:12:49This hit right here can wake up your whole bench, Bucci.
00:12:52When you're behind, but the game is still within reach, you need somebody to grab the moment
00:12:56a little bit.
00:12:57That is a hard, honest hit.
00:12:58And more than anything else, it's saying, we're still pushing here.
00:13:01Now you look for that emotion to carry into the next shift.
00:13:04Late clock now, in the period.
00:13:061-0, tight checking so far.
00:13:10Anaheim's got it now, and here they come out of their zone.
00:13:15Uses the pro check there.
00:13:16That's a nice defensive play.
00:13:19Quick pass up.
00:13:22Good defensive play there on the pro check.
00:13:26Moved quickly to Glendinny.
00:13:31Hinostrosa!
00:13:32What a save!
00:13:36Taken at the wall.
00:13:41Fed up top and handled at the point.
00:13:43And that shot catches a teammate instead.
00:13:47Hinostrosa.
00:13:50Blocked in front of the shooting light.
00:13:53And he scores!
00:14:14Oh, you've got to love that play all the way around.
00:14:17The quick wrist shot.
00:14:18I gained your chance in front of the net, in the inner slot.
00:14:21Are you kidding me?
00:14:22What a play.
00:14:23What a goal.
00:14:36The Ducks really wanted to get to the room, get this thing tied, and they have.
00:14:42Now they'll just try to hold on the rest of the way.
00:14:44And they win the neutral zone draw, and they'll start up.
00:14:51Taken there now by Lacombe.
00:14:53Now quickly to Kreider.
00:14:55Feeds it over to Paley.
00:14:58And he slides it quickly to Hustedinov.
00:15:04Hustedinov.
00:15:05Denied!
00:15:07Hope checks it away.
00:15:12Whistle blows.
00:15:13That's an icing.
00:15:14Face off at the other end.
00:15:20Winding down here in this period.
00:15:22The next goal could be a big one, as we are tied.
00:15:27St. Petersburg's won the draw.
00:15:30Winning that draw means they can put the pressure on after that icing call.
00:15:34Lorenz!
00:15:34And that shot never gets there.
00:15:37Blocked by a teammate.
00:15:40Gets it back up top here.
00:15:43Oh, can't quite connect.
00:15:45And rips on it.
00:15:49And the horn sounds, and the period ends.
00:15:52Good one so far here tonight, as the players head to their rooms, and the Zambonis will hit the ice.
00:15:59Back with more, right after this.
00:16:03Back with more, right after this.
00:16:04The rules are going to make sure the left and better rules can't get it.
00:19:33And get ready for another face-off.
00:19:37Plenty of hockey ahead in this period.
00:19:39It's all tied up.
00:19:45St. Petersburg's won the face-off in their own end, and they have it.
00:19:49Quickly up to Lorenz.
00:19:52Just out of reach.
00:20:00And now he passes up to Terry.
00:20:02Feeds it across.
00:20:07That's five for him this season.
00:20:14A one-go lead now, two to one.
00:20:28Yeah, and on the replay, this all starts off that odd man rush.
00:20:31And when you get numbers like that, boy, you can turn in a hurry.
00:20:55Ducks breaking the tie here in the second period.
00:20:58And they lead by one.
00:21:01And they lead by one.
00:21:01Anaheim's looking good in this one.
00:21:03They have the lead.
00:21:04They're controlling the shots on goal.
00:21:06Everything's working to a tee.
00:21:08Face-off one, and here we go.
00:21:10And he gives it over to Carlson.
00:21:13Hope checks it away on the forecheck.
00:21:16Arm up.
00:21:17Delayed penalty coming.
00:21:19Looks like a slashing from here.
00:21:22Goalies at the bench, and the extra attacker is on.
00:21:25There's the whistle.
00:21:26Seems pretty obvious, but there's the official announcement.
00:21:30Well, this puts a little heat on the penalty killers here, Bucci.
00:21:33You're up by one.
00:21:34You like where you're at.
00:21:35And now you've got to dig in, win some battles,
00:21:37and make sure they don't find the equalizer.
00:21:55Face-off in the offensive zone.
00:21:57First power play chance of the game.
00:21:59Yeah, and this is a real big opportunity here.
00:22:02Pendulum-like momentum can swing on a power play,
00:22:04and down by one, this is where you can get back to even.
00:22:09Puck picked up on their own end now, looking to clear.
00:22:12You've seen Petersburg come away with it,
00:22:14and he shuts down the one-timer.
00:22:23Siri.
00:22:24Oh, what a save!
00:22:31Buzo's come up with a massive stop on that last sequence.
00:22:34When you look at this again here on the replay,
00:22:36you can see that's a dangerous chance in tight,
00:22:38and he is just so composed,
00:22:39and is able to make an outstanding save to keep it out.
00:22:47Big face-off here in the offensive zone,
00:22:49and they're looking to win it,
00:22:51and fire one on a tired goalie.
00:22:53Yeah, after all that zone time,
00:22:55this is where you want to clean win, Bucci,
00:22:57and get it there quickly.
00:23:03So players back in position here,
00:23:06and the power play will resume.
00:23:10St. Petersburg's won the Ozone draw.
00:23:13No look to set up here.
00:23:14Big play with his stick.
00:23:17Hangs on to that puck.
00:23:18We'll get ready for another face-off
00:23:20as the whistle blows.
00:23:23First few minutes of this period,
00:23:25it's 2-1 in what's been a really good game.
00:23:30St. Petersburg's won the draw.
00:23:31They got the puck to look to attack.
00:23:33There's a big save!
00:23:36Makes the D-to-D pass.
00:23:40Nyquist.
00:23:40Nyquist.
00:23:42Smith.
00:23:43Denied!
00:23:44Puzo's right on top of that one,
00:23:46getting square to the slot chance
00:23:47and turning away a real good look.
00:23:50Tip!
00:23:50Save!
00:23:51With the stick!
00:23:56Passes it off!
00:23:58Go!
00:23:59Save!
00:24:01They'll take possession now,
00:24:03looking to clear it down the ice.
00:24:06Smith.
00:24:09And there it goes now to Nyquist.
00:24:15Slap shot!
00:24:16Great block, short-handed.
00:24:17It takes courage and sacrifice
00:24:19to get in front of a shot like that, Bucci.
00:24:21Here's the pass!
00:24:23Save!
00:24:24Thanks, anticipation.
00:24:28That just shows you what kind of a battler he is.
00:24:31There's nothing perfect about that,
00:24:32except he never gave up,
00:24:33he never quit.
00:24:34What a great save.
00:24:46So the player's set to go again,
00:24:49and the penalty kill will resume.
00:24:53And they win the offensive zone faceoff.
00:24:57Marchment!
00:24:58Steered away.
00:25:00Puzo's save percentage
00:25:01has been terrific tonight.
00:25:03Off the iron!
00:25:05St. Petersburg's got to stay with it here, partner.
00:25:07That's a tough break off the post
00:25:09in a close game when you're down.
00:25:11The crew have it.
00:25:12They'll have to move it.
00:25:13Swiftly sends it to Smith.
00:25:18Siree, here's the shot, and that shot runs into traffic.
00:25:28Still early in this one, just a single goal between them, 2-1.
00:25:34Anaheim's won the faceoff.
00:25:35They have it.
00:25:36No try to head north.
00:25:40The Ducks with a nice job on the penalty kill, penalty over, player back on the ice, and
00:25:46we're back to even strength.
00:25:48That was a missed opportunity by the power play because they're trailing.
00:25:51Luckily, it's only by one, so they can still get back in it.
00:25:54St. Petersburg's just got to stay with it.
00:25:57Yes, they trail, but they're getting their shots.
00:26:00They just got to hope they start going in.
00:26:03Anaheim taking over possession of the puck here.
00:26:08Carlson sends it over!
00:26:11Slot save by Soderblom.
00:26:13That is sharp goaltending right there.
00:26:16A really dangerous look from the prime area, but it's turned aside.
00:26:21Hope checked away by Harris.
00:26:26And he sends it to Marchment.
00:26:30Battles, lifts the stick, and has it.
00:26:35And he slides it quickly over to Terry.
00:26:38The crew have it now, and they'll look to go.
00:26:43Can't connect that pass there.
00:26:48Corralled by Chisholm.
00:26:50And makes a pass to Marchment.
00:26:56St. Petersburg's got possession along the boards.
00:27:00Quick pass to Carlson.
00:27:05Picked up by Chisholm.
00:27:11Top of the crease!
00:27:14Saves!
00:27:17Good vision there.
00:27:21Sauces it over.
00:27:22Take to table.
00:27:26Kaling!
00:27:27Picked off.
00:27:29Nice read by Johansson.
00:27:31Slides it over to Glendinny.
00:27:33Sends it over!
00:27:34And he shuts the door.
00:27:37Sweet little play there by Smith.
00:27:40Oh, that's a sweet Kochek right there.
00:27:44St. Petersburg's puck now along the boards.
00:27:48East-West feed to Carlson.
00:27:52Can't quite connect there.
00:27:55Puck picked up along the wall by Chisholm.
00:28:00Has it now behind the net.
00:28:03Pellison right into the lane, and that's blocked.
00:28:06And that's scooped up by Chisholm.
00:28:31Chisholm.
00:28:32Frustrated.
00:28:43St. Petersburg's doing exactly what they said they were going to do.
00:28:46Keep the pressure on.
00:28:48Get shots on net.
00:28:49But, so far, they trail.
00:28:53He has it now along the point.
00:28:57Back to the point here.
00:29:00Can't get it off.
00:29:02Good read by Cunnan.
00:29:04Locked it away.
00:29:05Sotablons made the save and steered that puck right to the corner.
00:29:08A smart play to keep it out of danger.
00:29:12Benoit.
00:29:13The Lord.
00:29:15Can't quite connect on that pass.
00:29:17Takes the puck now and looking to make a play.
00:29:20The crew have possession.
00:29:22Nicely up to Hallander.
00:29:24The Ducks get the puck now.
00:29:26Can't connect there.
00:29:28Good defensive play with the stick.
00:29:31Nice pass ahead.
00:29:33Gathered at the point now.
00:29:35Moves it up to Benoit.
00:29:39And he quickly moves it to Hallander.
00:29:42Passes it off.
00:29:44Aggressive coat check there on the forecheck.
00:29:47Backhand.
00:29:48What a save by Huso.
00:29:51Gets the whistle.
00:29:52Play is stopped.
00:29:53And we'll get ready for another faceoff.
00:29:57Both teams set for the next faceoff.
00:30:03Faceoff one.
00:30:04And they take possession.
00:30:06Hope checked away now on the forecheck.
00:30:13And look at this.
00:30:15And there they come.
00:30:17Breaking it alone.
00:30:19Ow!
00:30:19Taken down.
00:30:21And that's going to be a penalty shot.
00:30:23Yeah, and the reason the referee points right to center ice there
00:30:26is because on the trip, that scoring chance was taken away.
00:30:29So by rule, that's a penalty shot.
00:30:37Looking to beat the goalie one-on-one.
00:30:42Oh!
00:30:43And he denies the penalty shot.
00:30:46St. Petersburg's trailing midway through the hockey game.
00:30:49But they're still getting their shots on goal.
00:30:55Offensive zone.
00:30:56Faceoff one.
00:31:00Anaheim grabbed it here in their own end.
00:31:03Kopp taken at the point.
00:31:06Save!
00:31:07And that pass goes astray.
00:31:21Draw one in their own end.
00:31:25Lorenz.
00:31:28Lorenz.
00:31:31Big hit!
00:31:33The Ducks have gathered the puck.
00:31:37Carlson's been feeling it since scoring the go-ahead goal.
00:31:39He's got the puck again, and now let's see what he can do with it.
00:31:44I want to get another look at that hit.
00:31:46This is the kind of hit that changes the momentum of a ship
00:31:49and has the chance to leave an impact on the game.
00:31:51This was perfectly executed.
00:32:03St. Petersburg's won the faceoff, and they take possession.
00:32:08And they win the draw in their own end.
00:32:09Moves it down below the goal line now.
00:32:11Jammed up, and they battle for it along the boards.
00:32:16Shot!
00:32:17Steered aside.
00:32:19Play is stopped, and he'll take the faceoff.
00:32:25Here in the closing minutes of the period.
00:32:282-1.
00:32:29Momentum is up for grabs.
00:32:32And they win the draw in their own end.
00:32:36Here's a pass to Clyder.
00:32:39Paley.
00:32:40Paley!
00:32:42Saved!
00:32:43Just a piece of that one.
00:32:48And the linesman blows the whistle, and that's the nice scene, and the play is dead.
00:32:56St. Petersburg's trailing here late in the second, but still getting more shots on goal.
00:33:01More pressure has not met more goals yet.
00:33:04Minchikov!
00:33:05Close!
00:33:06Save!
00:33:07Quickly up to Tucker.
00:33:09That pass just out of reach.
00:33:13That's intercepted.
00:33:14Nice read there.
00:33:16Quickly moves it to Zari.
00:33:20St. Petersburg got the puck back along the boards.
00:33:23He makes the save.
00:33:25Gets the whistle, and he'll take the faceoff.
00:33:31Late stages here in this one.
00:33:332-1.
00:33:34Still anybody's game.
00:33:38Faceoff is won in the offensive zone.
00:33:42Picked off by Seneca.
00:33:44The Ducks are forcing turnovers.
00:33:45They're anticipating what's going to happen.
00:33:48Nice little dish.
00:33:49And he sends it right to Marchment.
00:33:57Dumps it deep into the opposite corner.
00:34:02Up high, received at the point.
00:34:04Tape to tape to Hustedinov.
00:34:07Can't quite connect on that pass.
00:34:10Here's the pass!
00:34:13Tipped.
00:34:14Oh, he somehow got a piece of that one.
00:34:17Passes the puck over to Seneca.
00:34:21Pinestrosa.
00:34:21Blocker saved by Soderblom.
00:34:24That's a tremendous stop.
00:34:26That's where shooters can do a lot of damage, but the goaltender tracks it beautifully.
00:34:31Slides the puck across to Lacombe.
00:34:33Down they go, and that's going to be a delayed penalty.
00:34:37The arm is in the air.
00:34:38Off he is dripping.
00:34:39Oh, this is a tough one right here.
00:34:41To take a minor penalty this late in the period, and the score's so close.
00:34:45Wow.
00:34:46What a time to do it.
00:34:57Anaheim's got another chance now with the man advantage.
00:35:00They go on the power play again.
00:35:03Offense zone faceoff is won.
00:35:05Oh, the post!
00:35:08Anaheim's still dictating the pace with the lead, and that's the chance you're looking
00:35:11for to widen the gap.
00:35:12Instead, it catches the post, and they'll have to keep grinding.
00:35:20So, we'll get set to drop the puck, and the power play will resume.
00:35:28The draw is won, and they take possession.
00:35:33D'Angelo.
00:35:37Lorenz.
00:35:38Stick saved by Huso.
00:35:40Stopped again.
00:35:42That is some kind of response from the goaltender.
00:35:44Coming up with consecutive saves and holding things together.
00:35:48Carlson.
00:35:52Has the puck now.
00:35:54Ryder.
00:35:55Save.
00:35:57Puck to.
00:35:57Rings the post.
00:35:59Takes it in front.
00:36:02Delayed penalty coming up.
00:36:04Nice save by Soderblom.
00:36:07There's the whistle.
00:36:08Seems pretty obvious, but here's the official announcement.
00:36:12Well, it's getting down to crunch time.
00:36:13And whenever you take a minor penalty in the waning moments of a close hockey game,
00:36:18that's going to be a tough one.
00:36:33St. Petersburg's won the defensive zone faceoff, and they got the puck.
00:36:46And there's the horde.
00:36:48And after 40 minutes, we have a good one cooking here.
00:36:52Stay right where you are.
00:36:54Intermission Entertainment on the way.
00:36:56We'll be back right after this.
00:36:58We'll be back right after this.
00:37:02We'll be back right after this.
00:37:11We'll be back right after.
00:37:13We'll be back right after.
00:37:14to speed.
00:38:45Some carry over time from the infraction at the end of last period.
00:38:49And a nice poke check there.
00:38:56Can't collect that dish.
00:38:59Puck taken there by Granlund.
00:39:01Whistle blows and that's offside.
00:39:05Whistle has really controlled the temperature of this game by making those big saves at the moments you absolutely need
00:39:11one.
00:39:11There's a calming effect that comes from that because every save like this can change the feel on the bench.
00:39:16All of a sudden, your group gets a little more composed, a little more confident and starts feeding off it.
00:39:30Special teams coming into play again in this one.
00:39:34Players set to go and the power play will continue.
00:39:38St. Petersburg has won the draw and play continues here.
00:39:49Slides the puck over to Terry.
00:39:51And now he moves it to Kreider.
00:39:55Throws it over.
00:39:58Picks it up in front.
00:40:01Petrano!
00:40:02And that's blocked out front.
00:40:04That's a big time sacrifice while they're short handed.
00:40:08Save!
00:40:09What a save there.
00:40:11Shooter in the low slot and the goalie comes up with a huge stop.
00:40:14Timely poke check there by D'Angelo.
00:40:20Karras!
00:40:21Karras!
00:40:24That's his second of the year.
00:40:27A short handed tuck.
00:40:30And it's 2-2.
00:40:42Big lift on that bench right there.
00:40:44And now everything settles back in it even with that short handed goal.
00:41:05So the linesman has the puck.
00:41:07Players get into position and this penalty kill will resume.
00:41:15And they win the neutral zone draw and they have possession.
00:41:21Alekert disrupts the possession with the poke check.
00:41:25Sends the pass up.
00:41:28Stetica!
00:41:29Poke checked away by Aston Reis.
00:41:33Aston Reis.
00:41:39Aston Reis carved away.
00:41:49Early goings of this period.
00:41:51We are all tied up in this one.
00:41:59Offensive zone.
00:42:00Face off one.
00:42:01Can't connect there.
00:42:03Deflected.
00:42:06At the point now.
00:42:08Passes it off.
00:42:11He sent it back to the point.
00:42:13Just got enough of that one.
00:42:16Eased a puck across to Carlson.
00:42:21The pass.
00:42:22Oh my goodness.
00:42:24What a save that was.
00:42:26The whistle blows.
00:42:27Gets the stoppage.
00:42:29And he'll take the face off.
00:42:31You talk about not quitting on a play.
00:42:33There's no textbook style for that one.
00:42:35That's athleticism.
00:42:36Meeting the play.
00:42:37And never giving up.
00:42:51Early clock here in the frame.
00:42:54We got a tie game.
00:42:59The Ducks win the face off.
00:43:01And they have it.
00:43:02And that's blocked.
00:43:03He may have just saved one there.
00:43:06He definitely did.
00:43:07That's a tremendous effort to take away
00:43:09a real good scoring chance.
00:43:13Serene.
00:43:17Fed up top and handled at the point.
00:43:21That sure looks like a slash.
00:43:23Arm is in the air.
00:43:24Delayed penalty.
00:43:26There's the whistle.
00:43:27And here comes the official call
00:43:29from the referee.
00:43:31Oh, that's a wicked one right there.
00:43:33I mean, that is a slashing minor.
00:43:35And it is obvious as the day is 24 hours, Bucci.
00:43:38He's going to the penalty box for two.
00:43:52Another chance with the man advantage
00:43:54as we're about to face it off
00:43:56in the offensive zone.
00:43:59Face off is one in the offensive zone.
00:44:01And that never reaches the net.
00:44:05Anaheim's got possession now in the defensive end
00:44:08looking to bring it up.
00:44:11Just fixed his equipment.
00:44:13What a smart save there.
00:44:15Not only does he make the stop,
00:44:16he steers it right to the corner
00:44:17and out of danger.
00:44:20Dishes it to D'Angelo.
00:44:22Crisp short pass to Marchment.
00:44:26Zeri steered aside with the paddle.
00:44:29I'll tell you what,
00:44:30that's a big-time stop.
00:44:31From the low slot,
00:44:32things happen quickly,
00:44:33but the goalie's ready for it.
00:44:34And he makes the save.
00:44:36And that goes off someone out front.
00:44:40And the puck is covered up.
00:44:42The whistle blows.
00:44:43And we'll get a break here
00:44:45until our next face-off.
00:44:47Oh, I've seen a lot of great saves,
00:44:48but that is amongst the best.
00:44:50Oh, that's one for the highlight reel.
00:44:52You won't find a better save than that.
00:45:03Players all set for the face-off.
00:45:05And the power play will resume.
00:45:08The Ducks win the Ozone draw,
00:45:10and they have it.
00:45:11And that one never gets through.
00:45:13Blocked by the defender.
00:45:17Passes it.
00:45:18Slot saved by Huso.
00:45:20That's a tremendous stop.
00:45:22That's where shooters can do a lot of damage,
00:45:24but the goaltender tracks it beautifully.
00:45:26Crisp short pass to Hustodinov.
00:45:29Just a bit out of reach.
00:45:31And we're going to have an icing here
00:45:33as the whistle blows.
00:45:35Sotoblom's been bailing out his teammates
00:45:37time and time again in this game.
00:45:39It would be way one-sided the other way,
00:45:41but he's the first, second, and third star
00:45:43as far as I'm concerned.
00:46:00So just moments away here
00:46:02as gets set to resume this one,
00:46:04and the penalty kill continues.
00:46:08The Ducks win the draw,
00:46:10and they got the puck.
00:46:14Fires!
00:46:15Stay!
00:46:18To Lorne.
00:46:23Anaheim's got it now.
00:46:24The look to continue to kill this penalty.
00:46:28The 10-D comes out,
00:46:29and he'll play the puck.
00:46:31Whistle blows,
00:46:32and looks like the referee
00:46:34is signaling a penalty coming up here.
00:46:38Well, that's an easy call
00:46:39for the referee right there.
00:46:40That's delay of game,
00:46:42and he's going to go to the penalty box.
00:47:01Four-on-four hockey coming up.
00:47:03Yeah, and right off this face-off setup,
00:47:05with both teams playing four-on-four,
00:47:07there's going to be a little more ice out there,
00:47:09and that can really change the look of things.
00:47:11He lifts the stick
00:47:12and takes possession.
00:47:14Nice play.
00:47:15Up ahead, Cesari.
00:47:17Nice tape to tape.
00:47:19Quick save by Husso!
00:47:22Oh, boy, that is a terrific save.
00:47:24A high-quality chance
00:47:25from right out front.
00:47:31Coming up on the halfway point of the frame.
00:47:33It's all tied up.
00:47:38The face-off is won,
00:47:39and they take possession.
00:47:41Anaheim's got the extra skater
00:47:42after the penalty expired.
00:47:46Chisholm.
00:47:47Chisholm!
00:47:48Denied!
00:47:49Play is stopped.
00:47:51We'll regroup
00:47:52and get ready for another face-off.
00:47:56So the players getting into position here
00:47:58for this face-off
00:47:59as the penalty kill resumes.
00:48:04St. Petersburg's won the draw,
00:48:06and they have it.
00:48:10We pass along the blue line.
00:48:12Hangs on to that puck,
00:48:14and now the gloves come off.
00:48:16Right after the challenge,
00:48:17emotions spill over,
00:48:18and these two are going to settle it themselves.
00:48:28Oh, and he tags him flush.
00:48:31Down and out.
00:48:32That last punch landed clean,
00:48:33and once he hit,
00:48:34this one was finished.
00:48:52So we are set to go here.
00:48:54Players in position,
00:48:56and the power play will resume.
00:48:59Ducks win the draw,
00:49:00and they have it.
00:49:02Grandland.
00:49:10Crider in front.
00:49:12Save!
00:49:15Can't handle that pass.
00:49:19Ozone pressure continues
00:49:20as he takes the puck.
00:49:22Has it in front.
00:49:24Tucker!
00:49:25No way through.
00:49:26That is sharp stuff.
00:49:28Tracking it beautifully
00:49:28and turning aside both chances
00:49:30with a couple of big saves.
00:49:35Buzo's come up with a tremendous save.
00:49:38That's a high danger chance
00:49:39he was able to shut down,
00:49:40and you can see it on the replay.
00:49:41I like that he didn't panic at all.
00:49:43He tracked it beautifully,
00:49:44stayed composed in the crease,
00:49:46and read it perfectly
00:49:47to rise to the challenge.
00:49:51So the player's set to go again,
00:49:53and the penalty kill will resume.
00:49:57The Ducks win the draw
00:49:59and take possession.
00:50:02Carlson.
00:50:04The Ducks looking to break out
00:50:05of their defensive zone.
00:50:10Cut it!
00:50:11Steered aside.
00:50:14Lorenz.
00:50:15Here's the pass.
00:50:18Ducks with the puck now.
00:50:21Beautiful little play.
00:50:25St. Petersburg's got it now,
00:50:27and they'll try to clear it down the ice.
00:50:29Quickly now to Cunnan.
00:50:31The Ducks have run out of power play time.
00:50:33We're back to even strength.
00:50:35Penalty killing can swing a game,
00:50:37and right there,
00:50:38it does in the best possible way.
00:50:39They erase that threat,
00:50:40and most importantly,
00:50:41they keep this one dead even.
00:50:47Close it in on the halfway part
00:50:49of the period.
00:50:50You can feel the energy in this crowd.
00:50:52It's a tie game.
00:50:56St. Petersburg's won the draw.
00:50:58They got the puck.
00:50:58They'll look to attack.
00:51:00Gets it back up top here,
00:51:02and that chance is blocked.
00:51:07Code check by Tucker.
00:51:09Moore.
00:51:10Moore.
00:51:12Score!
00:51:14Goal number two for him this season.
00:51:18And they hold a local edge.
00:51:21Three to two.
00:51:26Goal!

00:51:40Oh, it's a one-man screen.
00:51:41Usually there's two or three.
00:51:43This player's so good at it,
00:51:44they only needed one.
00:51:45And boy, oh boy,
00:51:46the goaltender never saw that coming at all.

00:52:28Goal!
00:52:34Not far from the midway point now
00:52:37Just a single goal separating these two
00:52:42Anaheim's won the draw
00:52:43And they have the puck
00:52:45St. Petersburg's on it now in the defensive zone
00:52:49He's down below the goal line
00:52:54Pass along the blue line
00:52:55And the save is made
00:53:01Puck dumped in
00:53:02Here comes that forecheck again
00:53:03Wins the race to the loose puck
00:53:06And takes possession
00:53:08Feeds it across
00:53:09Nice denial there
00:53:12Scooped up by Lacone
00:53:15Takes it away on the pokecheck
00:53:17In front
00:53:19Save
00:53:22Dudas
00:53:25Ryder
00:53:26Appleton
00:53:27And that's knocked aside
00:53:30Slides the puck across to Nyquist
00:53:32Big hit
00:53:36Puck scooped up along the wall by Hustodinov
00:53:39Big hit
00:53:43They checked away nicely
00:53:51Puck cradled by D'Angelo
00:53:54Conant
00:53:55And he moves it right to Benoit
00:54:01Benoit
00:54:02The Ducks have scooped it up here
00:54:07Can't quite connect on that pass
00:54:11The crew have the puck along the board
00:54:14Cano Strosa
00:54:15Gets the whistle
00:54:16Play is stopped
00:54:18And we'll get ready for another faceoff
00:54:20What a great hit that was
00:54:22The kind of hit that changes the momentum of a shift
00:54:25The momentum of a game
00:54:26Absolutely on your toes
00:54:28It goes right through the body
00:54:29Holy
00:54:30Jumping
00:54:31What a hit
00:54:31Faceoff coming up here
00:54:33And down by one
00:54:34They're shortening the bench
00:54:35And loading up the scoring lines
00:54:36Yeah this is exactly when coaches do it
00:54:39Trying to get their best offensive players out there
00:54:41To tie it up
00:54:43Aston Reese
00:54:45Backhand
00:54:45Kept out with the paddle
00:54:49Aston Reese
00:54:50Denied again
00:54:52Boy he is locked right in there
00:54:53Makes the first stop
00:54:54And then answers with another big save
00:54:57Lose the puck across to Aston Reese
00:54:59The Ducks take over possession
00:55:02And that's sent over to Glenn Denny
00:55:07St. Petersburg's picked it up along the wall
00:55:11Minchikov
00:55:14Boy this is where you find out a lot about both teams
00:55:16We're late in the game
00:55:17It's still tight
00:55:18And every decision has just a little more weight to it
00:55:22Out it comes
00:55:23And the zone is cleared
00:55:25Sends it over cross ice
00:55:28Nice read
00:55:29Interception
00:55:29Dissed over to Glenn Denny
00:55:32Nice little feed
00:55:33But Toronto's had a real hard time making his marking for a sniper
00:55:37That's not what you expect
00:55:38But he's got the puck and a chance to come through
00:55:41And it bounces off the pad
00:55:45Feeds it to Lorenz
00:55:46Broken off
00:55:48Good read
00:55:49Tucker
00:55:50Quick take to take to D'Angelo
00:55:55Aston Reese
00:55:58Lorenz
00:55:58And that hits the paddle
00:56:00Those are not easy saves to make
00:56:02That's a quality look from the slot
00:56:06Back to the point here
00:56:10Tucker
00:56:11Sends it over
00:56:13And he quickly goes to D'Angelo
00:56:16Save
00:56:17The Ducks have it now
00:56:20Minchikov
00:56:22He has it now along the point
00:56:26The crew have come up with it now
00:56:28Picked off by Vetrano
00:56:30What an athletic save
00:56:33Soda Bloms made the save and steered that puck right to the corner
00:56:36A smart play to keep it out of danger
00:56:39Mikheyev
00:56:41Mikheyev
00:56:41Nice save by Husso
00:56:44That is sharp goaltending right there
00:56:46A really dangerous look from a prime area
00:56:48But it's turned aside
00:56:50Off the clouds
00:56:52Hope checked away nicely
00:56:54Quick blocker save by Husso
00:57:02Husso's come up with a massive stop on that last sequence
00:57:05When you look at this again here on the replay
00:57:07You can see that's a dangerous chance in tight
00:57:09And he is just so composed
00:57:11And is able to make an outstanding save to keep it out
00:57:18Big face off here in the offensive zone
00:57:21And they're looking to win it
00:57:22And fire one on a tired goalie
00:57:25Yeah after all that zone time
00:57:26This is where you want to clean win Bucci
00:57:28And get it there quickly
00:57:29That pass just out of reach
00:57:33Looks to pass it to Terry
00:57:35Loose puck and now a race to get there
00:57:39St. Petersburg's got the puck now behind the net
00:57:42Quick diss to Marchment
00:57:45He quickly moves it to Nyquist
00:57:48And we are down to one minute to go now
00:57:50In the third
00:57:52Nyquist
00:57:52And that misses
00:57:54St. Petersburg's done a real good job
00:57:56Creating offense in this game
00:57:57But they just haven't cashed in
00:57:59That's the hard part here
00:58:00Late in the third when you're trailing
00:58:02You've had more chances than the other side
00:58:04And then you miss the net
00:58:06Montreal's up next on the schedule
00:58:08Never an easy one in this league
00:58:09Get some tickets and come on out
00:58:13Inside the final stretch of this frame
00:58:15A one goal game at 3-2
00:58:19The Ducks have control off the draw
00:58:21And we stay right with the flow here
00:58:25Quickly up to Kreider
00:58:28Kreider
00:58:28Oh check by Benoit
00:58:33Anaheim's picked it up here
00:58:36The crew have control of the puck now
00:58:39Pass disrupted by the stick
00:58:42Arms in the air
00:58:43And yes, delayed penalty
00:58:45Boy, this is a huge moment here
00:58:47Up by one late in the third
00:58:49And now your penalty killers
00:58:50And your goaltender have got to answer the bell
00:59:12St. Petersburg special teams
00:59:14Looking to step up again
00:59:15They have another power play chance here
00:59:17Face off one
00:59:19And they take possession
00:59:22And they clear the zone
00:59:25Bailey
00:59:25And that will get through
00:59:28Play is stopped
00:59:29And he'll take the face off
00:59:34Special teams
00:59:35Once again the focus
00:59:36As we get set for this face off
00:59:38And the penalty kill will resume
00:59:42Gathered at the point now
00:59:43Same
00:59:44The crew have game control
00:59:46Along the wall
00:59:50Marchman
00:59:51Oh baby
00:59:52Can you believe that one
00:59:54Goalie to the bench
00:59:55Extra
00:59:56Saved
00:59:57Oh
00:59:57Big save as the clock
00:59:59Hands to zero
01:00:00And the horn sounds
01:00:02Ending this one
01:00:03As the crowd
01:00:05Heads to the gates
01:00:06They pushed
01:00:08They stayed with it
01:00:09For long stretches
01:00:11This looks like a game
01:00:12They can grab
01:00:12And they leave empty again
01:00:14Yeah and that's the hard part
01:00:16Gucci
01:00:16There was a lot to like
01:00:17At the compete level
01:00:18But when you're in a stretch
01:00:19Like this
01:00:20The little mistakes
01:00:21End up mattering most
01:00:22Well that's it for this one
