The play in the ensuing minutes goes back and forth. Offsides, icing, deflections out of both zones, it all serves to drag the pace down to a halt.

Nerves have set in for both sides, and you get the sense that they're playing not to lose.

Some solid saves from Mike Hunt and Alexander Thorstrom see both offenses stifled, but in the end neither team has a reason to believe they should've scored.

This one is heading to...

Overtime starts with extended action in the neutral zone, as both teams look to settle down their jitters and put their best foot forward.

A little over a minute in, Prince Devitt kicks off a play that sees the puck bounce around Montreal's zone, and finally, it finds an open Kalevolaripaavo Kaspertommevisnapuu, who...

A minute later, Vadim Malichov finds himself with the puck in the neutral zone. He has only a second to look up the ice before...

...he's DEMOLISHED by Ricky Bobby! Two goals already? Add a highlight-reel hit to that count!

I have heard that if you are not first, you are last.

Look out, the Knights are pressing again!

The puck is worked around the zone by Kelowna's forwards, and a saucer pass from Big Fudge finds an open Andrey Barbashev II.

He gathers the puck!
He glances at the net!
He shoots!

I don't believe it!



WHAT A SAVE!

Mike Hunt snags the puck out of the air with an elite amount of flourish, and there's a collective groan in the stands as several thousand standing Knights supporters sit down in unison. You could see the Kelowna bench ready to spill out onto the ice.

A couple of relieved Militia tap Hunt on the pads as they head back for a line change. Close call.
