The Knights have struck first, but the Militia are not done.

Just minutes later, Montreal has made it deep in the Kelowna zone when defender Padraig Sarantez flips a loose puck toward Thorstrom.

The shot misses.

He tries as hard as he can to get his own rebound, and surely this time he'll make no mistake!

...The shot misses.

That's alright, his teammate will bail him out. Bobby Lane scrambles to the loose puck and the fans in the stands are left wondering whether Knights goalie Thorstrom even knows if the play is still alive!


No worries here, Knights fans! A true testament to his outstanding reaction time, Alexander Thorstrom kicks it into high gear to get across the crease and deny the Militia rookie a sure goal. So close!
