Yesterday's game saw the Anchorage Armada take the narrow win over Kelowna. It was Petrikov of bagged the game winner, undoing the Knights' comeback to 2-2 after two first period goals got Anchroage off to a good start.

The Armada will be pleased by the result in their first Four Star Cup series since their move to Anchorage, and they'll be looking for another win in this second game at home. Meanwhile, the Kelowna Knights will not want to leave Anchorage empty handed and will try to even the score tonight.

The referees come onto the ice first, and check the nets. The arena goes dark, the music swells and the announcer welcomes the Achorage Armada onto the ice. The Kelowna Knights follow shortly after, and the starting five of both teams line up for the first faceoff.

The referee takes position at center ice, and drops the puck on the dot between Jake Primeau and Ryan Shepard to get the play under way,

Ryan Shepard wins the opening face-off backwards to Luciano Vessot, who sees Jay Reeves coming and dumps the puck into the Armada zone. Petrikov retrieves the puck and passes it to Reeves in the neutral zone. Reeves skates the puck into the Kelowna zone, exchnages passes with Primeau and takes a shot, but misses the net. Primeau beats the Kelowna defense to the puck in the corner, cuts back in front but his shot is stopped by Luca Del Vecchio, who freezes the puck.

With only four minutes played in this first period, we have our first power play of the night. It was Luke McSquirrelly who got sent to s=the box for interference, after illegaly taking out an Armada player to break the passing sequence. On the power play line for Anchorage we see Mitchell van der Heijden, Jay Reeves, Ryan Cvitkovich, Daniel Bisschoff and Lando Norris line up for the face-off to the left Del Vecchio's net. Ryan Shepard, Kalevolaripaavo Kaspertommevisnapuu, Adam Scianna and Danila Zhernov are sent out to help the goaltender keeps his nets clean.

The boats win the face-off and start passing the puck around, Van der Heijden to Reeves, back to Van der Heijden. Puck goes to Bisschoff, who passes to Reeves. Pass to Norris, who tries to find Bisschoff again,, but the pass is intercepted and Zhernov dumps it and goes for a change.

Cvitkovich retrieves the puck, and the Armada move the puck back into the zone. Mitchell van der Heijden gets hit by Noah Nystrom and loses the puck, but Cvitkovich finds the loose puck and keeps it in the zone. Biscchoff gets the puck and shoots, but it gets blocked by Notvotny.

More shots follow, The Anchorage Armada pile on the pressure and are looking for an early lead again. Shots by Cvitkovich, Bisschoff, Wang, Norris, Van der Heijden and Wishy Woo Woo fail to surprise Del Vecchio though, and the power play ends without the puck entering the net.

Back to five-a-side hockey, the Kelowna Knights try to take back some of the initiative and get the puck into the Anchorage defensive zone. They fire several shots at Ian Venables, but fail to get a puck past him.

Novotny receives the puck in the slot and takes a shot at the net, Barbashev II deflects, but Venables saves and gives a rebound to the left side of the net. Barbashev II retrieves the puck, cuts back in front and shoots. Novotny bats at the puck with his stick, as the shot goes past him, hits it and...

.... GOOOOOOAAAAAAAL

Novotny tips the pucks past Venables and the Kelowna Knights take a 1-0 lead, 12 minutes into the first period.
