Several minutes go by with easy saves by both goalies, but no real chances. However, after Bodnar ices it, the Panthers get a huge offensive zone faceoff. They win the faceoff and Morley gets a shot off…

SAVED! Rose squeezes his pads shut as Morley attempted to go five-hole with that shot. Johnson wins the ensuing faceoff to Wastlund who one-times it.. but another save. Johnson wins the ensuing faceoff and the Panthers set up in the offensive zone once again..

Kwik gets the puck from Johnson and moves it along to Ruutu. Ruutu fakes a shot and pushes it to McGraw who is standing near the left faceoff circle. McGraw wrists the puck almost immediately after retrieving it…

GOAL!!! THE PANTHERS TIED IT! MCGRAW SCORES AND TIES THE GAME!

Code:

2. Los Angeles Panthers , Jigsaw McGraw 3 (Jorma Ruutu, Mariusz Kwik) at 7:07

I just got hired so good day for me so far. Would love to have a win here to top it off.

This is a brand new game, and the crowd is back in it as well. However, just as things are going well for Los Angeles, Skaarsgard takes a minor for interference and Seattle goes on the powerplay.

King wins the faceoff back to Winter. Winter moves the puck across the blue line to Koskinen who settles it and shoots...

Huge save by Weekes and thats the only shot generated on this powerplay as Los Angeles’ penalty kill is on point tonight.

Only seconds after the end of that powerplay, Pomery takes a roughing minor and sends Los Angeles right onto the powerplay with the momentum on their side. However, Leonidas wins the ensuing faceoff and the Riot manage to kill off the first minute of the powerplay.

With about forty seconds left in the powerplay the Panthers come charging back into the offensive zone on the rush. Skarsgaard passes to Wastlund who instantly snaps one towards Rose…

STOPPED BY ROSE!


BUT THE PUCK IS LOOSE OUT IN FRONT….

And Nikitin is able to clear the loose puck for Seattle. Another successful penalty kill, neither powerplay units have been able to generate any real chances here tonight.

Time is quickly running out here for both teams. We now have less than five minutes. After an icing by Peter PArker, the Panthers have a huge chance here. Thomaz wins another faceoff and the Panthers begin to pass it around. It comes back to Thomaz… He shoots…

SAVED BY ROSE! Seattle is able to clear the puck, but the Panthers re-enter the zone with a little over three minutes left. Johnson shoots on the rush but it goes well wide. Los Angeles regains possession and it comes back to Johnson who shoots again...

Another save and this time Rose chooses to freeze the puck as Seattle attempts to catch their breath.
