#NHL

The Knucks were 0 and2 last year. Only twoĀ 
shootouts all year long. So it’s Miller who gets it started in the shootout. Swoops on in from theĀ 
left wing. Waits and a glove save from Harrison. Patience paying off for the goalender. Tough toĀ 
stay patient when Miller goes wide and comes in with not a lot of speed, but the flexibility ofĀ 
Harrison allows him to take care of the low part of the net and then the glove upright makesĀ 
the save. Great stuff. Flyers captain will be their first shooter. Does he go backhand forehandĀ 
here? You’ll see his banded move. Three of seven last year. Comes on in shuttles. Oh, he tried theĀ 
Forsber, but Lankanin was up to it. [Music] Yeah, Cooch tries to fool Lankin with the old PeterĀ 
Forsberg move, but slides right off his stick. So, Elias Patterson will be next up. 12 of 34 forĀ 
his career. 0 for two last year. Swerves on in. and could not beat. Boy, Sam is so patientĀ 
in these shoots. It’s incredible. I mean, this is a good move. I don’t know if I think heĀ 
gets a piece of it, but when Person goes backhand, forehand, that angle should be there, but look atĀ 
the blocker. I mean, he got it with the blocker. All right, buckle your seat belts. Matt FeishkovĀ 
with his first NHL shootout attempt. And we know he has a million moves. Which one will he try?Ā 
Here he goes. Picks up speed and Lakinan dropped his stick but was able to stay with him and makeĀ 
the save. Omichkov tried to change up speeds. He started slow, picked up speed right here. HeĀ 
picks it up and then tries to go backhand back to the forehand through the legs and I think theĀ 
stick that was on the ice is what made the save. Jake the Russ the former Bruins the big sideĀ 
for the Canucks in with speed and he stos [Applause] the speed that can hurt you but he alsoĀ 
elevates it right there he takes a little off it de Bruss does comes in with the speed and justĀ 
flips it right in the top corner great play there by de Bruss up to Travis Kknney to keep this gameĀ 
alive. He’s only two for 18 in shootout attempts in his career. 0 for two last year. Roars on inĀ 
and scores. Kknney ties the shootout at one and we play. Both players the Brusk and Kknney comeĀ 
in with more speed than their prior shooters and it pays off. Kknney moves it to his forehand.Ā 
Lankin opens up and he sifts it right through the five hole. by percentage. Conor Garland’s theĀ 
best either team in his career. Eight for 19 in shootouts. Cuts on in. Oh, Harrison somehow keptĀ 
that out. I thought he was dead to rights, but it didn’t go. Oh, this is a great move by Garland.Ā 
See if he gets a toe on it. No, he lost it. Yeah. I mean, he had him. If he keeps it on hisĀ 
stick, I think he’s got a little bit of daylight. So Tyson Forester can win it for the Flyers. OneĀ 
for six in his career. He’ll try from the right wing. And Lank not sure, but he made the save.Ā 
He got enough of it. Yeah, I think Tyson had it in his mind that he wanted to shoot this puck theĀ 
whole time. Give credit to Lankin and he gets out,Ā Ā  but watch where he ends up. He’s at the top of theĀ 
blue. There’s not much to shoot at. For trying to get him to back in and hope something opens up. SoĀ 
now it’s Brock Besser, five for 23 in his career. He’ll try the deliberate approach save. Yeah,Ā 
the the slow doesn’t work on Harrison. That’s where his patience pays off. I think you gotĀ 
to you got to go with speed against him. Look where he is. I mean, he’s able to remainĀ 
at the top of the blue paint. Good save. So we play on into the morning back east. It’sĀ 
Morgan Frost with a chance to win it for the Flyers. One for two last year, two for sevenĀ 
in his career. He could be slick. Slowly on in De shot score. Morgan Frost able to waitĀ 
him out and the Flyers win the hockey game. Two-1 in the shootout. 32 your final and theĀ 
Flyers continue to pile up points in season openers. Zukarelloo who started the scoringĀ 
tonight airs in on Joey Decor and scores. Well, heck of a move here and pump fake. PullsĀ 
it to the backand. Joey bites and doesn’t get him with the stick and it’s an empty net. ButĀ 
that’s a world class move there. Second timeĀ Ā  tonight. He’s trying for the poke check. TriedĀ 
it in overtime and Baldi missed the net. That one thereell scores. It’s time to cue the maestro.Ā 
Oliver Borkstrand, shooter number one for Seattle. We’ll take a wide route and think about it. HeĀ 
scores. Beautiful move by Oliver Bjorkstrand. Making like a snake. Ali in around quick little stick handle and thenĀ 
elevates the puck up and over the glove of Mark. Andre Flurry Carell Capri in the twoĀ 
hole for John Hines is Carell Capri off off the goal post. It looked like he went for a little bit of aĀ 
change up there trying to catch Joey leaning. Just a soft one just trying to post it rightĀ 
up over that blocker side. Hits the post andĀ Ā  out for Seattle. Captain’s choice. JordanĀ 
Everly with two goals tonight. Goals 300 301 in his career. Everly calmly in. He scores.Ā 
Make no mistake, McCracken lead the shootout. Another one that goes to theĀ 
glove side on Mark Andre Flurry. Shooting third from Minnesota.Ā 
Matt Baldy. Number 12. Third shooter. Baldi. [Music] Here we go. Matt Baldy slowly in. It goes high. That’s Kraken hockey,Ā 
baby. Win number one. And it comes via the shootout as they get it done tonight here inĀ 
Minnesota. He comes out of the one slot. Curls wide left. Robertson on Blackwood upstairs intoĀ 
the corner. You couldn’t paint it any better. He He’s the greatest I’ve seen since UC YokenĀ 
around here. Everybody knows. The goalenders know what he’s going to do and they can’t doĀ 
anything about it. He just paralyzes their glove hand and nails that top corner. Young WillĀ 
Smith, the 19-year-old, is going to be the first short shooter. What a talent he is. FirstĀ 
shootout at the NHL level denied by Utinger. He’s had a pretty quiet night in a very man gameĀ 
here this evening and Auter with great patience just stared it off the pad and cuff of the glove.Ā 
So here’s Duchain an opportunity to give the Stars a commanding lead in the shootout.Ā 
Duchain scores that combo does it again. Yeah, Bang Bang. This is meandering marksmanshipĀ 
from Matt Duchain. Threw a little stick language at him and then rifled it five hole. And Aud whoĀ 
is 75% in shootouts in his career. If he can get a stop on Mle Granland, he could completeĀ 
a perfect homestead. Granland to extend the game. Scores. Gorgeous patience by Granland.Ā 
Yeah, he came in from a bit of the flank and it got Jay God scrambling a little bit as he’sĀ 
tried to hold moving across gave him too much against the grain. Just a little flipper findsĀ 
Twine. Johnston is 0 for three in his career. If he can score his first shootout goal, he’llĀ 
end the game. Johnston scores. Perfection in the shootout on the home stand for the seasonĀ 
so far. And the Stars outlast the Sharks 3-2. Man, what a mortiferous little releaseĀ 
this is. Bang. Perfectly placed. Poor McKenzie Blackwood nearperfect in the gameĀ 
and heroic over and over again. Get into the skills competition and he got beat. Bang,Ā 
bang, bang. Eight for 37 in his career, 22%. And here he comes to leadĀ 
it off. Barzel at the goal post. A nice move by Barcel as he kind of waits outĀ 
Primo. And it’s a quick move to the backhandĀ Ā  and and I think he beats him, but he justĀ 
can’t beat the iron as he cranks off the post, comes back and it’s out of harm’sĀ 
way. Cole Cfield with two goals on the night. Nine for 20 in hisĀ 
career. Cfield into the slot. It’s no shock that he comes down that side. ThatĀ 
is his favorite side. I think he should fire it from the dot. That’s where he scores all his goalsĀ 
from. instead he cruises in tries to go five hole shuts that down. First career shootout attemptĀ 
for Max Simplicov for the New York Islanders and Siplov will cut to the right sideĀ 
into the slot and his backand goes wide. Well, Ciplov tries to fool Primo thinkingĀ 
he’s going to cut across the net. Instead,Ā Ā  cuts back to the short side quickly and Primo’sĀ 
got that left leg out. There wasn’t nothing there, I don’t believe. And it rattles off the backĀ 
into the corner. Nick Suzuki to shoot for the Canadians. 11 for 26, which is 42% in his career.Ā 
Hasn’t scored a goal this season yet. Does he have one in the shootout for Montreal? attemptingĀ 
can’t get it as it’s poe by Morav. All the zigging zagging coming down the ice and GaramoffĀ 
with a really quick poe on the Montreal captain as he comes in and tries to wait out GaramoffĀ 
and a really gutsy play to lay that stick out. Often times you leave your five hole vulnerableĀ 
when you do that. Good poke check by Horvat to shoot for the Islanders. 11 for 33 in his career.Ā 
Horvat slows down. Horvat denied by Primo. Oh, nice job by Kaden Primo as the brakes get jammedĀ 
on by Horvat. And that’s to kind of throw the goalie off when he’s backing up. It’s to kind ofĀ 
stop to get him to kind of hesitate and Primo doesĀ Ā  a good job of hanging in there, making theĀ 
save. And look at this. The youngster Lane Hudson with a chance to win it in his firstĀ 
career shootout attempt for Montreal. Princ. That’s got to be something for the youngsterĀ 
here. First shootout as he jams the brakesĀ Ā  on a bit too and then tries to go five hole.Ā 
That’s a couple of Canadians that feel like the five holes there are not something thatĀ 
they picked up in the video watching Harlem,Ā Ā  but he’s had that thing shut down.Ā 
Kyle Pali 8 for 38 in his career. has a little speed gambling.Ā 
Slows down, scores. Top corner. You go all the way back to the first period. It’sĀ 
where he buried his goal earlier in the game asĀ Ā  well. He loves this spot. Right hand shot. He goesĀ 
right over the right shoulder of Primo. And what a dart. He fires up into the top right corner. SoĀ 
now the Canadians need a goal to stay alive and for that they’ll go to another youngster. KaanĀ 
will get a crack at it to try and keep this game alive. Kinan scores and he does. Well, the oneĀ 
thing about putting guys out there that have never done it before is the goalender has no read onĀ 
them whatsoever. They’ve watched no tape on them and Kaan just cruises in and beats them high aboveĀ 
the pad and below the glove. ruin. Really nice shot for Kappa and especially with the anxietyĀ 
going down knowing if you miss it, it’s game over. He keeps this thing alive. Simon Holmstrom one forĀ 
four in his career. Homestuck scores. Great move. Well, you can say that again. What aĀ 
beautiful move. And he’s got lanky reach,Ā Ā  too, right? So, he’s going to take it fromĀ 
all the way to his back hand. That thing’s moving across the crease ratherĀ 
quickly. And Primo gets caught. And All Hanaman for his first career shootoutĀ 
attempt to try and keep it alive again for the Canadians. Two goals on the season forĀ 
Hanaman. Hanaman scores. A great shot. Here we go to round six. I love the medalĀ 
of these young guys. No problem. Kappan, Heinaman, they just cruise in and roofĀ 
this thing right in on Vlamoff and it’sĀ Ā  a quick snapshot as he hits the hash marks andĀ 
a real beautiful shot and this thing continues. Now it’s Jean Cabriel Pou that’llĀ 
shoot for the Islanders next 0 for three in his career inĀ 
the shootout. denied by Primo. Slowly meandering down the left side ofĀ 
Kaden Primo and I think he just realizes he’s got to hold his ground there andĀ 
he does and trying to go far side. Good save by Kaden Primo. Alex New Hook 0 for one inĀ 
his career, but a chance to win from Montreal. New sets down over there in the seventh round.Ā 
Start to get the feeling that there might be no end to this. It’s like the long shift inĀ 
the second period for the Canadians. Well, it is baseball. He could go nine rounds,Ā 
nine innings. This is a guy who’s got 17Ā Ā  goals against Montreal Canadians in his career.Ā 
We’ll see if he’s got one more. Brock Nelson. Nelson handle the slap. Stop 130. At some pointĀ 
you got to think you’re going to see Kirby Dock. You got to think he’s going to be coming overĀ 
the board soon. And it looks like it’s going toĀ Ā  be another defenseman in Mat. Mike Mat one forĀ 
three in his career in shootouts and he’s got a chance to win it. Mat cuts down to the left side.Ā 
Mat comes in. Stop by. Off we go to the eighth. Well, you got to know these guys are exhausted.Ā 
It’s been a long hard-fought game and this thing continues. And for the goalenders, too, right?Ā 
It’s been a long night and they’re battling nowĀ Ā  into the eighth round of the shootout as XuncturalĀ 
Canadian Romanov’s going to get a shot at this. Alexander Romano with his first career shootoutĀ 
attempt and he’s stopped by Primo. Glove save. All leather. Thanks for coming. Kaden Primo justĀ 
snags that out of the air. Romanov just tries to wait him out. And again, over that pad, right,Ā 
that’s the sweet spot. Usually just above the pad,Ā Ā  below the glove is the spot you want to tryĀ 
to hit as Slavowski will try to end this. Slavsky one for four in his career. SlavowskiĀ 
is in. Stop by. To the top of the ninth we go. Well, it is the season. It is the baseballĀ 
playoffs as Slavoski tries to wait him outĀ Ā  on the backhand. He just didn’t have a chanceĀ 
to get it straight up. Good glove positioning there by Var. You got to love all these defensemanĀ 
going now. Noah Dobson up for the Islanders. Oh, Dodson 0 for three in his career inĀ 
the shootout. Dodson scores. Well, you don’t get 70 points in a season being aĀ 
wallflower from the back end. Dobson is a really solid offensive player. He cruises in and doesn’tĀ 
try to disguise it at all. He cruises right in and fires it right where he was looking. Logan MayuĀ 
will get a crack at it now. Another defenseman. First chance. Bottom of the ninth needs a save.Ā 
May needs to score. Woo! back. Islanders win it three-2. [Music] [Applause] [Music] GuzmanoĀ 
goes wide on Adulovic in stick handles. Digs backand. It was there but he whipped on it onĀ 
the last second move. Kusenko with great hands trying to wait out the goalender and he had roomĀ 
but the puck just slid off the end of his stick. Ricard Raquel had a goal in regulation. 42%Ā 
shooter in the shootout. Raquel in Dustin Wolf Raquel shoots scores. Wow. That’s a goalĀ 
scorers goal right there. Take your time. One little fake and you get Dustin Wolf just a punchĀ 
over just a little bit right there. Great release. Opens up the blade at the very last second. PutsĀ 
a touchdown. Anthony Banana game number 500 in his career. One for six in his career. The shootoutĀ 
in on Adulkovic. Mantha slows backand scores. All right, John. I didn’t want to jinx him before,Ā 
but that’s his go-to move. if I didn’t want to sayĀ Ā  it. He scored a goal earlier this year theĀ 
exact same way he gets the goalender open up and slides it five hole. That is just a slickĀ 
little move. Sydney Crosby in on Wolf shoots off the post and out. Wolf with a little kiss for hisĀ 
friend on the glove side. Great hands by Crosby. He’s going to come over the top of this puck.Ā 
It looks to me like he’s showing five hole andĀ Ā  then just quickly turns a wrist over and goesĀ 
glove side. Rasmus Anderson two for five in his career. Goal and an assist and a whole lot moreĀ 
tonight. He’s been all over it trying to come up big for the Flames. Anderson in the shootout.Ā 
Bondadelkovic snaps and scores. He got it through. Raspus Anderson gives the Flames the edge just looking for an opening opening and right offĀ 
the goal glove and you can see the disappointment but that’s a huge huge goal for Rasmus Anderson.Ā 
Rust on Wolf save wins it but he scores. Okay, two two very similar goals. One by Raquel andĀ 
now Rust. Very, very similar right-handed shots, both of them. They come from the rightĀ 
of the goalender and get him moving just a hair and go glove side. Conor ZerĀ 
looking for his first ever shootoutĀ Ā  goal. What a time it would be to get one.Ā 
Zeri to the forehand. Stopped by Dulkovic. Well, I’m not surprised Ari was in this position.Ā 
He’s been so good tonight. He had so many good looks and tries to go above the pad. He had room,Ā 
but he had to go about five more inches higher on the right pad. Matt shooting at 33% in his careerĀ 
coming in the game on the lineup. Wolf Latain De’s backhander with the stop to keep it going. Wolf aĀ 
little bit unsure. So, another right-handed shot, Latang, and he’s going to show the same sort ofĀ 
thing that he might go glove side right there. And then he goes backhand and Wol was able toĀ 
track that down. Unsure of where the puck was, but nonetheless, he made the save. Azam Cadri, theĀ 
hero stopped by Adelkovich. He tied it up late, but couldn’t beat him there. Let’s take a look atĀ 
this. Is he trying to set him up five hole? This one was hard to get. No, he’s just going to goĀ 
glove side and just kind of miss missed the shot. Bars Eller at 35% in his career. Wide on Wolf.Ā 
Eller in drags Wolf. The stop bounces in the crease and stays out. All right. Learning on theĀ 
fly. It’s his first shootout for Dustin Wolf at this level and last couple. Watch this one.Ā 
He’s still a little bit unsure of this one, too. He knows that he’s kind of made the save,Ā 
but he’s not sure where it ends up. 11th shooter. First career attempt for Justin Kirkland.Ā 
Kirkland comes in, shoots, scores. [Applause] Kirkland with the smile. Would it WillĀ 
it be enough? What an amazing 10 daysĀ Ā  for Kirkland. comes in, goes glove sideĀ 
and gives the Flames an opportunity with one save to win this game. Wol trying toĀ 
stop and Ganny Malin little spin around that center coming in straight awayĀ 
on Wolf G. The Flames win. [Applause] careerhigh for him. More on Morazzic scores. [Music] That was a confident shot going down theĀ 
right side as a lefty. And once he brought it to the forehand there, boy, plenty of torque off thatĀ 
stick right there on just a wrist shot. Connor Bernard caught his breath after that long shiftĀ 
in overtime and he’ll be up first for the Hawks. Bernard on Darcy Keer. RoundĀ 
one. Slows down. Scores. Great play. Came in with a little speed.Ā 
Shooters shoot and dancers dance. The kid’s a shooter. Brings it to the forehand. OnlyĀ 
in one quick motion just fires it past the goender Darcy Kemper. 1-1. Two goals forĀ 
Lefrier in the game. Round two. Lefarer stopped by Morazzic. Not a piece ofĀ 
that one and steered to wide. Well,Ā Ā  he loves going to that stick side and he’s good atĀ 
it here on a breakaway situation. He slows down, pulls it back into the wheelhouse and catchesĀ 
the top part of the blocker and the right elbow table up next. Tervine and in on camper scores a beauty on theĀ 
back hand. Oh, what a move that is. He got him to bite. Got him to bite. Hoisted it on theĀ 
backand on the forehand here. Here’s where he gets him to bite a little bit. The goalie losesĀ 
his balance. Lunging forward and Terra Bindan makes him pay. Adrien Kempe up next for the Kings.Ā 
Morazzic will win it with a save. Campe scores. Good read there by Kempe. Always frustratesĀ 
the goalender when it goes underneath you and somehow he had the confidence to fire it thereĀ 
where usually that stick will stop that one. Hottest Hawks goal scorer early in the year isĀ 
Ryan Donado. He set up the game tying goal. He’s got a chance here. Donado scores. Spectacular.Ā 
And the Hawks complete the comeback. 43 shootout victory. Oh, what a move. What a move to haveĀ 
the presence and calmness here on the forehand. bring it to the backhand and thanks for coming.Ā 
He beats the sweep check cleanly with some quick hands right here. Donado’s been terrificĀ 
all season long and here he goes. Oh my god, that’s a thing of beauty. What a move. WhatĀ 
a win. Improbable after 40 minutes of play. Give the boys some credit. Second shootout ofĀ 
the year for New York. Their first one wentĀ Ā  nine rounds in a win over Montreal. WalstromĀ 
coming in wide left off the pad of Nadulkovich. Not I think he was going what just five holeĀ 
there. Clutter you had an angle there. I thinkĀ Ā  he was going low glove. He likes to kindĀ 
of get across come across the hash marks and go low glove. Delic kind of I think IĀ 
feel like he knew it was coming and stoodĀ Ā  him up pretty good. Here’s Ricard.Ā 
Raquel first shooter for Pittsburgh. Raquel drifting to the middle of the ice.Ā 
Little stutter step move and shot it wide. No goals through one round. See where B decides toĀ 
go. He likes to go high blocker quarter. I don’t know. That’s what I’ve seen in most occasions whenĀ 
he comes in from his his off side. Yeah. See if he tries to go there again. Corvette 0 for one thisĀ 
season coming in. throws the snow up and went one hand and tucked it through. Oh my goodness. Wait,Ā 
he’s playing it cool. I don’t know if he meant to do that ever. He got stuck, but what a goal. AndĀ 
you know what? Maybe he did get stuck. And I keep saying when you’re just reactionary and notĀ 
thinking about something, good things happen.Ā Ā  And the Delta, he couldn’t believe it. Here’sĀ 
Sydney Crosby with booze raining down on him here on Long Island. Sydney Crosby saves a rookie.Ā 
Islanders a save away or a goal away from a win. Crosby, the third shooter and Sroen not fooledĀ 
at all. Mary, Kyle Palmer a chance to win it. He had a goal and an assist in regulation.Ā 
Paul against Nadulkovich. [Applause] Missed it. Tried to go high blocker. SeenĀ 
him shoot that one before. Wasn’t much there. Tried to go low all the way.Ā 
And the goalender makes a great save. Islanders will ask Ilas Sro to win it for him againstĀ 
Chris Latang. Leang’s pretty good on shootouts, I’ll tell you that. Here he comes. LatangĀ 
backhand saveen and the Islanders win in a shootout. They trail 3-1 in the third period.Ā 
They come back to tie it and Bo Horvac gets the gamewinning goal in the shootout.Ā 
So Cage Gonzalez will move in for the first opportunity of the shootout. Save forĀ 
tried to go five hole and he shut the door. Do gave him nothing to look at. I did not seeĀ 
Gage Gonzalez as the first shooter for Tampa, but here he comes in, tries to change theĀ 
angle and then try, as you said, tries toĀ Ā  go five hole. And that was easy pickings forĀ 
Fed. And it will be Kknney first for the Flyers. Travis Kney has three goals in 19 tries in hisĀ 
career. in the shootout to the forehand score. Feathers one over the glove of VaselpskiĀ 
to give the Flyers the shootout lead. Wow, that he made that look easy. Coming in offĀ 
angle and then pulls it up and then just floats it up and over Vasilleski’s glove.Ā 
Basili looks a little frustrated at that,Ā Ā  but he wasn’t. His gloves up, gloves up,Ā 
and drops it right as the puck comes. That was pretty. So now VictorĀ 
Hedman will try to answer. [Applause] A long reach of Headman as smoothĀ 
as they come. Save Beno again. Was he trying to go five hole? Bonotov got the stick inĀ 
the way. You got a 6 foot7 goalender. He covers a lot of ground. They’re notĀ 
make neither of the shooters so farĀ Ā  has made a move very much. He’s trackingĀ 
as he comes across down in his butterfly, but he makes a blocker save. So now TippetĀ 
with a chance to end things. Never scored a goal in his shootout career, but he hadĀ 
the goal to force overtime for the Flyers. Tippet on Vaselpski. score. TheĀ 
Flyers win it in a shootout. And it will be at least one more game forĀ 
Andre Baselpski to have to wait for career win number 300. A comeback win for the FlyersĀ 
in the third and then in the shootout. Oh, the excitement for Philadelphia right now comingĀ 
in a game like that. Goalie roulette in the for them. And then they’ve got Owen Tippet. He getsĀ 
the tying goal late in the third. Never before scored a shootout goal, but he picks a great timeĀ 
to score one here on Andre Basilleski. Both the goals scored on Basleski glove side. Tough oneĀ 
for Tampa Bay as they go into a six-day break in the shootout. Lar covers a lot in the net.Ā 
Tage Thompson likes to find with some speed on his shot. We’ll see that he lets it go.Ā 
Thompson off the post. had him beat but theĀ Ā  post just as Lucan has had over the last fewĀ 
games helping out Lar in that instance. No, you’re right. He had him beat there and he justĀ 
kind of puts this about a foot and a half justĀ Ā  right over the pad. Not looking to go up top. HeĀ 
was trying to put it over the pad under the glove and he does about inch and a half off. That’sĀ 
it. Igor Sharon go against Suko Pekalucan and Sharon Govich wide to the left back between theĀ 
circle. Save made by Lucinan. Tried to go low. And I think he was looking thinking Lucin mightĀ 
open up here when he goes down, but he never did. Like there it is. And he tried going it and thenĀ 
boom. You see how quick he shut that up. He hadĀ Ā  the paddle flat as well. All right, JJ Purka.Ā 
Let’s see what you got in the shootout. JJ Pa from center ice. Peter to the left circle now.Ā 
Cuts his way to the net. Takes a shot. Scores. So calm, cool coming back to the bench.Ā 
But you talk about a quick release. WatchĀ Ā  this. Here he is. He fakes and then boom.Ā 
As soon as he pulled it to the forehand, he had just enough room there under Var. HeĀ 
doesn’t keep that stick flat to the ice and he finds that hole. But what a quick release.Ā 
Former Vancouver Kanak Andre Kushko. He has the puck for the Flames between theĀ 
circles. Fakes Lucy with a pass save. He’s making it look easy, isn’t he? JustĀ 
staying with him. Not overplay. Look atĀ Ā  the little jump right there because MinkoĀ 
doesn’t throw him off one bit. Stays with him. He stays big. Stays upright. Number 89,Ā 
Alex. The game on his stick. Alex Tuck takes the puck at center to the right circle. VarĀ 
comes out to meet him. Tuck stopped by Var. And the Flames get another crack. One last crackĀ 
here. Nice, nice movement there by Ox Tuck, but he I think he was looking to get that upĀ 
a little higher. Watch when he pulled it back,Ā Ā  he chips it to try to get it up. only got itĀ 
up about a foot off the ice. Justin Kirkland, the Winnipeg native for the Flames. He’sĀ 
got the puck to the circle on the left wing side. Lukan tracks it. Saved by LucanĀ 
and Savers win it in a shootout. [Applause] There we go. The shootout.Ā 
begins and Barov just beautiful. Oh, he makes it look so smooth.Ā 
Well, we’ve seen that out of hisĀ Ā  bag of tricks before. Barkov comesĀ 
in, puts one hand on the stick. Now, here’s Kknney. He’s two for two thisĀ 
year [Applause] against Babski off the great overtime. Knee is stoned by Sergey Babski’sĀ 
goal stick. When you’re going that slow, the goalender can react a lotĀ 
better. Connecting just he was just crawling towards the net. YouĀ 
see Babroski had already gone down. Reinhardt has been so good in his career inĀ 
shootouts. Great percentage at just over 40. Try to really put the Panthers in charge.Ā 
Reinhardt weaves in against San Er. Snaps it off. It’s a glove save. Not much movementĀ 
there by Ersen. He just waited waited for Reinhardt to shoot the puck. Here’s a greatĀ 
angle of it. Reinhardt look he think he was trying to obviously go over top of the glove.Ā 
We just didn’t elevate it enough. Here’s Tippet.Ā Ā  Owen Tippet. Seven shots on goal in the gameĀ 
tonight. Could not beat Babski during play. Here he is. Second round of the shootout.Ā 
And that time he scores. And we’re tied. Oh, that’s a nifty move right there. TippetĀ 
really sold that he was going to shoot that puck and then he hung on to it forĀ 
the last second. He’s going to be on hisĀ Ā  forehand and just slips it underneath the leftĀ 
pad. Third round, it’s Anton Londell’s turn. He’s got some slick moves. SeeĀ 
what he has in store for Esen. Londell to the backand. Oh, he justĀ 
wouldn’t go. Could not tuck it in. Oh, it looked good for the first 95%Ā 
of this try by Lundell. Looked like he was going to tuck it in there. That lastĀ 
move. Yeah, he’s got him beat but just Oh, the outstretch left pad of denied that. BobbyĀ 
Brink can win it for the Flyers. Gathers it in and comes in with speed off the wing againstĀ 
Babski. Brink stopped. We continue. No success for the Flyers coming in off that right side.Ā 
Babroski has stuck both of those opportunities. Here’s number 19 trying to go to the farĀ 
corner. Matthew Kachchuck to the fourth round trying to give Babski a chanceĀ 
to end it the other way.Ā Ā  the job deliberately slowly at the net andĀ 
he couldn’t go five hole. That’s denied. Looking to see if Es would overplay this onceĀ 
goes to the back hand. Slip it between the legs, but it was off the mark. Another chanceĀ 
for Philadelphia to win it with Couturier. 0 for one this season. Can BabskiĀ 
keep it moving? The Flyer captain to the net and Babroski sends us to the fifth round. Babroski’s always active with that stickĀ 
and I think this it comes into play here.Ā Ā  Look at the stick. Yep, there it is.Ā 
Knocks it off the stick of Couturier. Four straight saves now for Ears orĀ 
three straight. And now it’s Rodriguez. Rodriguez. Beautiful to theĀ 
back hand and the PanthersĀ Ā  have the lead in round five. Oh, what a goal. Oh, this is pretty to watch rightĀ 
here. Rodriguez number 28. There heĀ Ā  makes that move for the backhand. That’sĀ 
difficult to make. Now the onuses are on the veteran goender Sergey BabroskiĀ 
trying to end it and stop Morgan Frost. Cross carry, slows down at the net. Let’s go home,Ā Ā  baby. Survi and the Panthers win the shootoutĀ 
and that’s seven in a row for the Cats. Final. Look at how he’s trying to sell something. Yep.Ā 
And Eerson was committed to Rodriguez shooting the puck. Another look at it right there. And thenĀ 
makes the move to the backand and tucks it in. And here’s how it ended. Sergey Babroski. Wait,Ā 
wait, wait. Yeah. The reflexes take over here, right? Yeah. Two for two. Two for three. couldĀ 
not finish that one. Trying to go above the pad, below the glove, take it from backhand toĀ 
forehand. That far side opens up. I think Vanichek may have gotten a slight piece of it withĀ 
that left pad. Mlin celebrating gets to partake in a shootout in the NHL for the first time. He wasĀ 
injured when the Sharks had their other shootout. So, let’s see what the 18-year-old has up hisĀ 
sleeve. Several digs, but patience stays right with him. You said it, JJ. Patience. This kid’sĀ 
got a lot of deception to his game right there. He gives a fake and Harrison able to hold hisĀ 
feet long enough to give the push. No problem there. So, the 18-year-old could not score. Now,Ā 
the Flyers 19year-old will try. Goff 0 for one. try to give the Flyers the lead. Round two. In forĀ 
the right wing and he scores. Slowed down and then picked up the pace and beat Vanichek. Kids gotĀ 
some swagger, doesn’t he? Great move. Backhand, forehand. gets it around that right leg and thenĀ 
the celebration to the crowd. What’ you expect? What a response he’s had tonight. Third straightĀ 
teenager. It’s Will Smith with some speed. He’s 0 for one. Harrison makes the save. You know, youĀ 
don’t see a lot of guys come with that type of speed. It’s almost It can throw you off a bit,Ā 
but Eri doesn’t back in too fast. You can see he’s almost at the top of the blue. Smith wasĀ 
banking on the fact that Harrison would end upĀ Ā  in his crease deep. Didn’t happen and he missedĀ 
wide connecting with a chance to seal it. He’ll get another scoring chance right here. And heĀ 
goes, he scores. He can sleep tonight. Travis Knee puts it away for the Flyers after all thoseĀ 
chances. He scores. The Flyers win the shootout and they win the hockey game 43. EntertainingĀ 
game here tonight at the Wells Fargo Center and the Flyers after letting a three-goalĀ 
lead slip away get the two points anyway. Well, Kenkne, we talked about it. He couldĀ 
have had five or six tonight. This move, he’s done it three consecutive shootoutĀ 
attempts. He’s two for three on this exactĀ Ā  move. It worked in Tampa, didn’t work at Florida.Ā 
It works here tonight. It’s almost unstoppable. gets the goalender to moveĀ 
and then shelves it. So,Ā Ā  Raquel will kick off this shootout 16Ā 
for 38 in his career in the shootout. Save. Blackwood didn’t bite,Ā 
didn’t move. Stayed right with him. He’s holding it on that angle. His fakeĀ 
shot. He kind of gives a little shoulderĀ Ā  drop and Blackwood stayed with him theĀ 
entire way. But Kyle Granlin will go now for the Sharks. Chance to give the SanĀ 
Jose Sharks the lead in the shootout. Scores. Patience and the finish. AndĀ 
the Sharks are in front. Datsuki. The way he just kind of came across onĀ 
his off side. Crosby likes to do thisĀ Ā  too. We’ll see if he comes in on thatĀ 
angle and just kind of lofts it back. Here he comes. Crosby’s got a chanceĀ 
to get the pens even again. Scores. Similar little more power and pop. LoveĀ 
that sound off the post. Takes that angle. Cuts it short though. Just bleeds itĀ 
back across. High blocker. Celibbrini. Mcdalovic says no. Just couldn’t hit that spot. His goalies goĀ 
down on that one knee. He’s going for that five hole by the stick. See that littleĀ 
hole and he just hits the toe of Ned. So here comes Brian Rust. Six for nine in hisĀ 
career. Blackwood with the stop. [Applause] And that means Will SmithĀ 
can win it. Army, 19year-old BC’s first year in the league. [Applause] 0Ā 
for two in his career in the shootout with a chance to complete the comeback forĀ 
San Jose. Melkovic keeps this moving. Celebrate Smither. Dangerous and scary. HighĀ 
skill. They never know what they’re going to do. Anthony Bollier kicking off round number four. What a move and a finish.Ā 
Bollier puts the Pens in front. Well, all right. We get the extra shooters.Ā 
Go with your hottest guy. Four game point streak. He’s feeling it. Does thatĀ 
count to keep his goal streak going,Ā Ā  too? No. Sorry, but man, what a move. JustĀ 
sold it. Blackwood fell for that one. So, William Ecklan a Nadelovic save winsĀ 
it. One for four in his career. Scores. It sneaks through and we playĀ 
on. He just stuffed that through. back at forehand and just hitĀ 
that spot and try to fight it off. So, if Malin will begin round number five,Ā Ā  all of PPG Paints Arena on itsĀ 
feet here on this Saturday night. Mark scores. Head up. A couple shoulder drops. LookĀ 
at this. There’s a little littleĀ Ā  head bob. Just waits him out. Just waitedĀ 
him out. Picked his spot and hit it. So, Alex Wenberg 6 for 24 in his career. GameĀ 
on the line. Nalovich says no. Good night. Two-point party on Fifth Avenue. Penguins winĀ 
it 4-3 in the shootout. Calgary has one attempt this year. 0 for one. Sharing coming in wideĀ 
on Barlamov. Out of the middle. Sharon Govich shoots. Misses on the glove side. That’s his go-toĀ 
move. He loves that one and he’s usually able to just rip it top corner glove side. That’s whatĀ 
he is going for. Just got a little bit too much. Paul Mary one for two this season. NewĀ 
York is two and0 in the shootout. Paul Mary in on Wolf. Paul Mary slows shoot.Ā 
Stopped by Wolfe with the blocker. A little bit like nets off in WashingtonĀ 
when he had put on the brakes and with no speed whatsoever. He’s trying to find whereĀ 
the goalender is going to open up. DustinĀ Ā  Wolf stays on his feet. That was the key. NotĀ 
opening anything up. Straight in on Balama. Now Adik back in. Scores. What a beauty from Keno inĀ 
the shootout. Okay, those are special hands. He chose to come in quickly with speed. Slows rightĀ 
down and then goes forehand backhand quickly and elevates right off the post. That is so hard toĀ 
do. Beautifully done. B Horvat for the Islanders after a sensational move from Kusmeo to giveĀ 
Calgary the shootout lead. Horvat on Wolf delays shoots cut off by Wol on the glove side.Ā 
They looked to me like when Horvat came in he’s trying to make it appear as though he’s goingĀ 
five hole. Wolf face up on his feet again and right there he looks as though he’s going to makeĀ 
change. You know what? Dustin Wolf got that withĀ Ā  his left pad. I didn’t see that originally.Ā 
Kirkland does he do the signature move. Kirkland in on Barlov. Scores. Signature moment from Kirkland. Does it again. AndĀ Ā  the Flames come all the wayĀ 
back to win it in a shootout. Just going to try and get Barlamov toĀ 
bite on it and he does and just right at the very last second on that releaseĀ 
just turns the wrists over and throwsĀ Ā  the goalender. That is a gutsy win by theĀ 
Calgary Flames against the rookie Ascarov. Shen right up the middle in quicklyĀ 
and it rolls off his stick and no goal. They tried to show that he was going to shoot thatĀ 
puck and then he curls the stick over trying toĀ Ā  pull it to the back end. Little bit of an angleĀ 
here. Right there. See the whoop. He’s trying to go up over the pad. He doesn’t get enough of it.Ā 
And now it’s Mal Granland for the Sharks. Crafty center iceman. Nine goals on the year and two forĀ 
two this year in shootouts. Here comes Granlin in on Bennington. Waiting and a right pad save.Ā 
Little change up shot by Granlin. Didn’t fool Bennington. Not at all. What a great job by JordanĀ 
Bennington. Just patience, patience, patience. Look at this. Not biting. Not biting. And then heĀ 
reads that play perfectly. Gets the right pad out. And next up it’s Jordan Kyu who scored hisĀ 
sixth goal of the year in the second period. On to round two. Kyro with speed again.Ā 
Stopped and start backhander saved by Ascarov. Wasn’t full by Kyro. N JordanĀ 
does a good job of changing speeds as he gets in the offensive zone. And thenĀ 
it’s tough even though they come outĀ Ā  and they scrape the ice. It’s tough to scoreĀ 
on the back end with some of these shootout. So Cabbrini will shoot for the Sharks asĀ 
the rookie drifts in. Cabbrini waiting and a stick saved by Bennington. [Music] I can’tĀ 
believe Jordan Bennington stuck with that one. Celebrini was shimmy shanking the wholeĀ 
way in and Jordan Bennington just didn’tĀ Ā  bite. Stayed with the shooter all the wayĀ 
across. Makes a big save. So the shootout remains scoreless. On to round three. AndĀ 
Jake Neighbors hops over the boards. Can he be the hero? Neighbors comes in waiting.Ā 
Shoots. He scores. What a shot by Neighbors. That’s just great patience there. What I loveĀ 
is it’s it’s cross grain for this one. So Jake Neighbors coming in here and it looks likeĀ 
he’s going to pull it to his backand but noĀ Ā  goes right back over the pad on the gloveĀ 
side as Aster was getting ready to make a big push and he was caught flatfootedĀ 
there. And now Eklan must score for San Jose. William Ecklan last shooter for theĀ 
Sharks on Bennington. Here he comes. Ekan waiting and a save by Bennington. And theĀ 
Blues win it in a shootout. And Bennington ties Mike Cleote with win number 151. TheĀ 
shootout. Sharon Govich against Gustoson. Sharon Govich slows it down and Gus stands hisĀ 
ground with a pad stop. Gus made that look quite easy. And when you’re on top of your game andĀ 
feeling good about yourself, saves, all kind of saves look like that. Very, not a simple save,Ā 
but he made it look simple. Ready for Minnesota. Shootout specialist two yearsĀ 
ago. Gudrove and scores. It’s a guy playing with a lot of confidenceĀ 
right now. 12 points in his last 11 games. Yeah, good for him. That’s a huge goal hereĀ 
right here for the Minnesota Wild. HangsĀ Ā  on to the puck. Looks like he’s goingĀ 
to maybe shoot top glove. Changes his mind. Turns his wrist over at the lastĀ 
moment. Here’s Kusmeco for Calgary. Save by Gustoson. [Applause] And Kuzme right-handed shot. Very similar similarĀ 
play that Freddy did. just pulled it and went low blocker. Wild get the save. Calgary Flames didĀ 
not. And now Baldi can win it for Minnesota. Baldi on the attack for the Wild with aĀ 
chance to win it. A save by Lar. Yeah, Matt Baldi just tried to surprise theĀ 
goalender right there with a quick wristster. He’s got such quick hands. SawĀ 
an opening right away. tries to beat the goalender through the wickets and Dan WarĀ 
says no dice. And now Kirkland for Calgary. Augustus save can win it for the Wild. KirklandĀ 
in on the forehand and he scores. [Music] That was the exact same move that he used inĀ 
a shootout against the New York Islanders four nights ago. The exact same play rightĀ 
underneath the glove of Gusson in great position. Excellent shot there by Kirkland.Ā 
And now it’s Juel Erikson for Minnesota. [Applause] Erikson slows it down and is stoppedĀ 
by Lar and the shootout moves to round four. Coming in with a fake shot right there, pullingĀ 
it to his forehand and Vidar did not bite at all on that fake shot by Erikson that allowed him toĀ 
load up that left leg because he did not bite. and now Matt Coronado the Calgary rookie in glove save Gustoson and they go to the same move right-handedĀ 
player this time trying to go to underneathĀ Ā  the glove of Gustiffson that one directlyĀ 
into his glove and throws that one back out to center as if to say I’m feeling prettyĀ 
good about my game right So is this guy Marco Rossi. Goal and an assist for Minnesota.Ā 
Rossi in with a chance to win. Saved by Blair. These two goenders going toe-to-toe rightĀ 
now. Dan Blar and Philip Gustoson. Marco Rossi sliding in there. Tries to go low blocker. Nice little blocker save there by Dan.Ā Ā  Flames going to the defenseman RasmusĀ 
Anderson, their leading scorer on the season and he scores. Beats Gus clean. And now theĀ 
Wild need a goal to extend and they’ll go to Ryan Hartman. McKenzie Weaguer orĀ 
Anderson comes in here and just beats Gustin right through the five hole. Shot thatĀ 
one. I think that one caught Gus a littleĀ Ā  offguard. Wasn’t expecting a shot from thatĀ 
far out. See if Ryan Hartman can tie this up. Hartman put it just wide and the Flames win it in a shootout.Ā 
Minnesota’s comeback earns them one point and puts the Caps on a five-pointĀ 
road trip in over the years in a long career. Monahan leading it off for shooter forĀ 
Columbus against Martin scores. Sean Monahan. Oh, he identified that Martin was way outĀ 
of his net here. And then as he cuts across, see how far Martin is still prettyĀ 
far out. He’s trying to match theĀ Ā  speed of Monahan who moves him aĀ 
little bit then elevates it enough. Martine Nate just two for nine in hisĀ 
career. First shooter for the Hurricanes against Makkins. Here he is. Shut down Elvis.Ā 
Mer Leakens makes the save. That’s a big save. The Blue Jackets up here after the firstĀ 
round. One- nothing. And Elvis looks calmĀ Ā  there. He stays with him the entire way.Ā 
That puck didn’t roll on Marty Nas. Little stuttering it right there. But Elvis standsĀ 
tall. Severson. Severson four for 11 in his career. Breaks down the middle againstĀ 
Martin. Deep and he had it. It goes wide. So, you know, for Dean Evson, he doesn’t reallyĀ 
know what the guys can do, but he goes by the numbers and there he’s got Martin out of the net.Ā 
He’s just got to put it in. Oh, he just fumbled it at the end. He can’t believe it. He justĀ 
said, “I had to hold that.” Andre Spetchnikov 10 for 23. He’s got a million moves. He weavesĀ 
his way in. Spechnikov stopped by Mleakkins. Got it a little too tight. Tried toĀ 
just flip it over Elvis. And creditĀ Ā  Elvis here. He stays with him. Locked in onĀ 
the puck and make sure he takes care of it. Didn’t bite on that fake shot. And you canĀ 
see where it hit the top of his pad. Fanti if he scores. Game over. First career suitĀ 
out attempt for Adam Fantelli. Can he win it against the Hurricanes? Round numberĀ 
three. Fanti for victory. Here he is. No. Another great move here forĀ 
Fanti as Carolina stays alive. One save and the game is over for Elvis Mleakens. Elvis locked in. Look at thoseĀ 
eyes. Staring down Sebastian AO. AO picks off the puck and the JacketsĀ 
get the save for the win. Ao stopped by Mers Lincoln. Jackets win in theĀ 
shootout. Victory from the jaws of defeat tonight. Team high 11 goals, 25 points. And hereĀ 
comes Kknney slowly meandering towards the net. and he lost the puck. Never got a clean shot away. He’s trying to get it backĀ 
to the forehand and loses itĀ Ā  right as he comes in here trying toĀ 
cut back. First Vegas is number 16. Avalor Fibs up. Put home his team leading 11th of the seasonĀ 
earlier tonight. one for two in his career and he’s stopped by Fedtov who stretched out theĀ 
pass. They stayed right with Darviv on this play as he had him right on this move andĀ 
tried again. He did a good job of staying right with Dviv tried to outweight him withĀ 
the backhand. 19-year-old Matt Maykov up next. [Applause] off the post. Off the post. This one he’s going blocker side off the post.Ā Ā  Close but for Vegas numbersĀ 
it off. Gets a little help. Jack Eel up next. 11 for 37 in his career. Post it in. Jack Eel snaps it home. And theĀ 
Golden Knights with the edge in the shootout. Oh, game of inches. Right. Mitchov posted out.Ā 
Eel posted in as he goes under the glove. Flyers need a goal here from Owen Tippet.Ā 
Ilia Samsonov’s been outstanding in this game. see if he can close out the win. Save SamsonĀ 
off. How fitting is that? And the Golden Knights win it in the shootout in Philadelphia five toĀ 
four. What a game in net for Ilia Samson off. Three for three in the shootout. Oh, they doĀ 
steal it. Great job. Stays right with Tippet on this play. Moves right left. Gets that leftĀ 
pad down. Nothing. Five hole. And you’re right. steals one here. Not often does a goalie give upĀ 
four, but he was their first start tonight. AndĀ Ā  he’s 0 for one. Crowd booing heavily and he lostĀ 
the puck. Got it back. Walks in and stopped by a bar if he the fact that he lost that puck.Ā 
He was still able to gather right here. Just a little slippy do kicks it up. Jurg stillĀ 
had to stay with that. He tried to slide itĀ Ā  five hole. Nice job by Branson will take theĀ 
first opportunity for the F. his first of the year. Here comes Mo Ranson. Got the go ahead atĀ 
center ice. Hill out of his crease to meet him. Branson and is in. A backhander save by Hill.Ā 
And that glove has been good all night. SureĀ Ā  does. Ranton and two had that puck jump on him.Ā 
Was able to gather it down and went for the old fake side and then pull it right across to theĀ 
glove. Last second. Hill doesn’t bite on thatĀ Ā  first play. The big glove eats it up. EichelĀ 
is one for one this year. He’s next. [Applause] He takes it down the wing. I through the circleĀ 
still in. Shoots. Save by Gorgia. Huge. Gorgia does not blink. Eiko. One of the most talentedĀ 
players in the game today. Comes in way wide. Takes his time just looking for a hole. AnythingĀ 
Eko can see. Tries to slide it over the packĀ Ā  here against his hook. Here comes the reigningĀ 
MVP McKinnon. walking in, looks down the slot, holds and shoots. What a save by Hill. Boy, theseĀ 
goenders, they just got nervous as Steel staying with it. McKinnon, much like Eiko, comes in,Ā 
slows it way down. Couple of stick handles, tries to get it over that left pad, maybe slide itĀ 
in the corner, and Hill just pops out the paddle. Shay Theodore, the defenseman. First of the yearĀ 
for him, works it in. Theodore looks a backhand flip and another stop by Gorgia. Theodore had noĀ 
chance on this one. Came in slow, tried to go to the backhand. Watch Gorg read this the whole way.Ā 
Just back in. Yeah, we got no chance. Here comes the best defenseman on planet Earth. Kale Mar,Ā 
the third shooter, can win right here. Crowd on his feet at Ball Arena. He’s got a littleĀ 
head of steam in. Backhander one of the nets. It was there. Moa just rolled off the toe of hisĀ 
stick. Came in, faked the shot. Had a bunch of speed coming in unlike everybody else. Here’s theĀ 
fake shot and the backhand is there and he just doesn’t turn the toe of the stick over. BarelyĀ 
misses that open. Nicholas Wall next up for Vegas. He’ll try the near side this time. Walks inĀ 
to the forehand. Save by. Holy cow has he been great. And now Casey Middlestead can winĀ 
it. GV wasn’t totally sure where this was. Big Nicholas Walk comes in and right there he’sĀ 
like just don’t slide behind me. No. Here we go. Middleton to the far side. He’s in. CaseyĀ 
Middlestat holds. Holds. And a save by Hill. He ran out of room. the hands of Casey Middlestead.Ā 
I thought he almost went backwards at one point here. Comes in wide. His whole play is to tryĀ 
and freeze Hill so he can go all the way across and Hill just barely waits him out. Wow, thatĀ 
was a stick save. Here comes Alexander Holtz. Walks in. Holtz into the slot. Shoots. Save byĀ 
Gueorgian. Gorg just so calm and cool. hanging at the front of his crease, waiting for Holtz toĀ 
make the first move. Watch that glove come down and just shut down that right on the two. TwoĀ 
train ready to depart on track three. Here he goes. Nushka swirls in top of the circles walkingĀ 
down and scores. Foul Nushkin with another shot. The Avalades get the extra point in a thrillingĀ 
game. The rookies first ever National Hockey League shootout attempt and he’ll swingĀ 
in off the left side. Way out is allark.Ā Ā  Slowing it down is cutter. Stick save by theĀ 
Ottawa neter. Yeah, veteran move by. You know, when a player comes in this slow and theĀ 
goalie goes way out to start, I I mean,Ā Ā  it’s a it’s a head game, right? You’re you’reĀ 
trying to get the shooter to think. You don’t want to be the guy that’s reacting to him. IfĀ 
you can make him react to what you’re doing, usually win the contest. Stutza career 50%Ā 
in shootouts. Swing in off the right side and do closes the five hole. Yeah, that was a aĀ 
quick little push move by Switzlers [Applause] got down in a hurry. Well, it’s been a big nightĀ 
for Troy Terry so far. He doesn’t have a goal, but he has three assists. A goal rightĀ 
now would be useful. Right shot swings in off the left side. Goes by hole and scores. Good patience shown by Troy here. And Omar againĀ 
because he’s way out. See that one little fake got the goalender moving. That little headĀ 
bobbed by Zegris and he slips it. Five hole. Josh Norris the next to shoot. Left hand shot and he’s going to pick it up withĀ 
speed. We’ll see if that speed continues to stallĀ Ā  way out. Now he slows it down. He mishandlesĀ 
it for a moment and that threw him off. Do got the blocker on it. Yeah. And again, LucasĀ 
starts well out and you can see that puck kind of bouncing around and once he fumbles it onceĀ 
and has to look at it, the goalender knows he’s got him. Ziggler’s going to win it right here.Ā 
Remember, he had a breakaway in overtime. The ice is not great at this juncture and the puckĀ 
flipped on him a little bit and you can see he’s in no hurry. He’s going to come in so slow. Oh myĀ 
goodness. He picks up the pace a little and scores and the Ducks win tonight in a shootout over theĀ 
Senators four to three. Ziggler slowed it down, sped it up and then decided he was just goingĀ 
to go high. Omar got a piece but not enough. So here we go. And the Canadians are back first.Ā 
Patrick Line who has three goals in four games this season. 44% in the shootout in his career.Ā 
Line shooter number one in on Dostal. He scores. A bullet of a shot and the Canadians strikeĀ 
first. He’s so smooth with the puck at all times. And here he just takes his time. He’s gotĀ 
his head up and has a quick move to the forehand.Ā Ā  And you can see it doesn’t go top shelf withĀ 
his shot. It goes off the pad and in past dust. Mason McTavish. ShooterĀ 
number one for Greg Burman. Stare down with [Ā __Ā ] He’ll go wideĀ 
with patience. Look for a spot. Yes. I love the change of pace here as he stops off.Ā 
He made the right move. He just missed his spot. And you know what, Joe, I’m no shoot myself. MaybeĀ 
the change of pace is great, but if you come in with a little bit more, maybe it gives the tenderĀ 
little something else to think about. Cfield is 0 for one this season. 17 goals to lead MontrealĀ 
in the two-hole. Stutter step beauty Cfield. That’s quick and assertive. That’s a confidentĀ 
player right there as he attacks outside the dots. Getting a look at it. Keep an eye on hisĀ 
feet here. Changes pace. Get set. It’s a quick release. Troy Terry is one for one inĀ 
the shootout this season. He has dominated the game and he misses that one. Mountain gets aĀ 
piece of it. The Canadians win in the shootout. [Applause] Another home victory for the MontrealĀ 
Canadians. You can see the celebration from Monto. It was a methodical game and it was tight all theĀ 
way. defensive structure. Some massive saves by either goalender, but Montton Bowl. You can seeĀ 
the smile through that mask. Tried to go five all the way up, but just had a little piece andĀ 
went wide. And if you’re a Montreal Canadians fan,Ā Ā  I mean, the elite talent, the finishing ability,Ā 
well, you don’t always want to see a shoot up, but when it comes to it to your sharpshootersĀ 
go up, get the game done for you. Big saves by Mont. You can tell right here, it’s rightĀ 
through the five hole. That’s why TerryĀ Ā  reacts like that. He had him beat. That was theĀ 
move. It is. Tage Thompson will lead it off for Buffalo. And Sebastian Kosa. I hope he’sĀ 
got some good nerves. Here’s Tage Thompson on the rookie Sebastian Kosa. And he stopsĀ 
him. Well, that’s a good start for the big guy. Thompson’s a shooter. I’m surprised he’sĀ 
Deacon. Yeah. What’s he doing? He’s a shooter. He pretty much lost control. And Lucas Raymond,Ā 
I’ll guarantee you. Well, shouldn’t do that, I guess. But Lucas Raymond has had a shotĀ 
like out of a cannon lately, and I wouldĀ Ā  suspect he’s shooting the puck here. Raymond onĀ 
Rymer and scores. He digs and scores. Raymond. Well, that’s 0 for one for me on thatĀ 
one. But you know what? I think Rhymer, like me, was expecting the shot and heĀ 
totally froze him. A former teammate. I’m sure they had loss in practice. Sure.Ā 
He was waiting for the shot. It never came. Mzy will tell us who he thinks has theĀ 
advantage on that one. Here comes JJ Purka. And Kosa makes the save. Sebastian Kosa two forĀ 
two in his NHL debut. Oh boy. And Mr. Buffalo himself is going to finish it off for DetroitĀ 
possibly. Here’s Patrick Kane. And look at that note. 52 shootout goals tied for most in historyĀ 
with Jonathan Taves. 22 shootout deciding goals. Second of France Nielsen. Here comes KaneĀ 
to seal it and he missed. That looked like the move he had in Chicago, but he missed theĀ 
far side. Right now, it’s Lucas Raymond though with the deciding goal in this one. And it canĀ 
stand up as a deciding goal if Sebastian Kosa decides to stop Alex Tuck. Their last chance.Ā 
Tuck on Kosa. Kosa for the Red Wing win. and he can’t get that one. Tuck beatsĀ 
him. We’re still even. Beautiful shot. Beautiful shot. Right hand shot. Goes toĀ 
the forehand. Not the easiest play to make, but he went quickly and then went up quickly.Ā 
And Dylan Larkin a lot of times will do the same thing from the left side of the puck asĀ 
he’s a left hand shot. Left back to forehand. The Red Wings the lead. He did it. He does.Ā 
He did it. Dylan Lin beats Rhymer and the Red Wings win it. He gets the puck. He gets the puckĀ 
for Sebastian Kosa as the Red Wings win it. 65 the final. What a crazy night. Wow. And the RedĀ 
Wings are involved in another one-goal game that never stops. But a huge comeback two-point win,Ā 
overtime or not, or shootout or not. And boy, does Larkin ever pull the string on this thing.Ā 
My goodness. Motorcycle kick. Big time fake. He’s got Rhymer right on his face. Went to retrieveĀ 
it right away for Kosa. Oh my goodness. Came in after one. Wow. And the Red Wings win by one. AndĀ 
they get their first win in seven. Buffalo without one in seven. So we started off I Billy Tolvin inĀ 
against Sergey Babroski. And Babroski comes out to make the save. Yeah. And you see how far BabroskiĀ 
came out Tolvin and I’m not quite sure what his strategy was here. Look at he looks off andĀ 
not really a chance. So, Lavroski does the job. Here comes the big guy looking to giveĀ 
the Panthers the lead. Park sweeping in on the gore between the legs and makes theĀ 
move. My goodness. You got to be kidding me. Panther bench loves it. That was justĀ 
filthy. The court never had a chance. Look at Bararkov. Fakes like he wasĀ 
going to go between the leg. its own legs and then just freezes the goalender.Ā 
Oliver Bujork strength slowly moves in and Babroski right with him all the way forĀ 
the save. Just seems like Sergey Babroski tonight he’s just reading everything perfectlyĀ 
and no different on this chance here. There’s nothing to shoot at. Couple of chances forĀ 
the Panthers to win it now. Sam Reinhardt against Joey Dord. Reinhardt gets him down. Let’sĀ 
go home, baby. Sam Reinhardt. Alexander Barov do it again. And the Panthers win it. Well,Ā 
the skill on the Panthers when they get in, they they don’t get to a shootout very often. AndĀ 
look at Sam Reinhardt just fakes the core goes down and now he’s a fish out of water. Stop playĀ 
during the 5minute overtime. And now a shootout starts with Nick Schmaltz against Philip Gustoson.Ā 
Schmaltz moves in. Schmaltz denied by Gustoson. Schmaltz goes to that left pad side the, you know,Ā 
the same place that he had the shot off there late in overtime. And you can see Gusison bites just aĀ 
little bit, but really good footwork to get back into position and make that left pad save. And nowĀ 
Freddy Gdro goes first for the Wild. Stretches it out wide on his backand. Gro head fake deniedĀ 
looking five hole. [Music] Shooting second electing to come in slowly tries to make aĀ 
fake. Valka though stays on his feet and then able to cover the five hole quickly. So nowĀ 
Clayton Keller just joining us. First of all, where have you been? Second of all,Ā 
he’s a big reason we’re here right now.Ā Ā  Two power play goals in the third tonight. Utah’sĀ 
captain Keller moves in. Stopped by Gustinson who then locates beneath. Oh, I thought that wasĀ 
going to slip in. Five hole and so did the officials. They came right close to the netĀ 
before waving this off. They thought mightĀ Ā  sneak through just momentum. [Music] See, it justĀ 
Gustin just gets enough of it. He’s looking back. It has been a tensionfilled thirdĀ 
overtime and now shootout here at Delta Center. Matt Baldi’s up nextĀ 
for Minnesota. Five for 11 you see in his career. Baldi starts outĀ 
wide. Matt Baldi backhand score. Well, that was still I mean the hands justĀ 
ridiculous on this goal. He makes Vamela move. He comes from the left side of Amela. Fakes it overĀ 
to his right. Pulls it back to his left and just no chance. [Applause] First time being involved inĀ 
a shootout since October of last season. More than a calendar year. And now it’s up to Nick BuchadĀ 
after Baldi puts Minnesota on top. Gustoson stars him down. Buchad moves in. Oh, and it’s off theĀ 
iron. It’s over. Minnesota wins it in a shootout. A right shot. He approaches Doall who creeps outĀ 
of his crease. Comes in off right wing. slows it down and hits the side of the net as Lucas gaveĀ 
him nothing. Absolutely nothing. Schmaltz lost his speed and Lucas was perfectly positioned atĀ 
the top of the goal crease and eventually he had no angle whatsoever. Great patience from Dost.Ā 
Here’s who the Ducks do have to shoot in the shootout. Troy Terry and he’ll go first. The rightĀ 
shot swinging in wide off left wing approaches Jackson Stalbert who got a piece. He tried to goĀ 
high glove. It looked like right-handed shot. He goes to the little push move there. I don’tĀ 
know if Stabber got a piece of it or not. So Clayton Keller, Mr. Everything forĀ 
this hockey club. Not only their captain, but an ever dangerous offensive force comes withĀ 
speed. Will he keep the speed as he’s in on do stall? He does. And he scores. No, he hit theĀ 
crossbar. The fans thought he scored. It went off the crossbar and out. They’re blowing the horn.Ā 
They’re giving him a check mark on the scoreboard, but the referee says no. This one is allĀ 
about the plumbing. Oh boy. It hits the bottom of the crossbar and bounces right acrossĀ 
the goal line and may have even hit Lucas in the right pad. He gave it to JS Chagar, too.Ā 
Did you see that? That’s awesome. Yeah, you’re I think you’re right. I think it hitĀ 
the back of his pad on the way down and stillĀ Ā  stayed out. I think they’re looking at this.Ā 
Yeah, Steve Kazari was over at the scorers bench and now he says we’re good to go. It’sĀ 
an X, not a check mark on the scoreboard here at Delta Center. And here’s Brock McInn inĀ 
the shootout. I don’t know what to expect. We’ve never seen him in a shootout. HeĀ 
comes in with speed and Stabber denies. Stabber just kind of filled that net. BrockĀ 
McGillic. See how far the goalender was out. I mean, it’s tough to score when you’re shootingĀ 
and that goalender’s two feet in front of theĀ Ā  blue paint. Nick Buchat missed the first eightĀ 
games of the season due to injury. And the lanky veteran approaches Lucas Doall. Glove save. LucasĀ 
deflecting it over top of the net. And now Anaheim can win this thing in a shootout. Let’s see if heĀ 
gets a piece of this or if Buchad just airmails it. I think he just air mails it right overĀ 
the crossbar. Tavage can end this right here. I thought Lucas got a piece with the glove. ButĀ 
now Mason, who played a great deal in overtime, very calmly picks it up at center ice. The gameĀ 
on his stick. Can the Ducks complete the comeback? Yes. Mason McTavish shelfs it. The dads and theĀ 
Ducks celebrate two points at Delta Center. What a comeback. What a strange game. Anaheim can’t getĀ 
anything going on the power play. They didn’t need it. Well, they did get the one power play goalĀ 
to tie it and they get it in overtime with a shootout win. Mason McTavish is your hero. LucasĀ 
Dost Stella a tip of the cap to him as well. John slowly almost unfairly moving in on theĀ 
goalender and a quick little snapshot just over the pad under the glove and the DucksĀ 
2 and 0 this year against Utah. Monahan getting us started 39. Just had a breakaway.Ā 
Let’s see what he does on this one.Ā Ā  39% in his long career. He’s in and it just goesĀ 
wide off of Kachchov. Didn’t go for speed. Didn’t go for power. Went for accuracy here. He triesĀ 
to drag Coach off a little bit. Coachov moves a tiny bit, but then he tries to go over thatĀ 
glove. Ooh, that was closer than it looked. How about the rookie Jackson Blake? ThisĀ 
is his first career shootout attempt.Ā Ā  He goes one-on-one against Elvis. Blake in onĀ 
goal. Lost control. It’s kept out and lost. Lost himself there. He looked like he had a goodĀ 
move. Set up, but then as he cut back right there, he lost the puck. His dad was really good atĀ 
the shootouts. Jason Blake. David Severson gets a chance. Saw him before fromĀ 
Dean Evans. He’s 33% in his career. picks up the bucket. Center ice. Round numberĀ 
two. Damon Severson in on goal and a diving picette. Straight out of the 80s. Didn’t see thatĀ 
coming. Neither did Damon Severson. It looked like soon as he looked checked down right there. HeĀ 
makes his move. Go check off is at the hash marks from my angle. Looked like Severson might haveĀ 
had a short side shelf shortside shot a littleĀ Ā  earlier than that. But what a play by Cochov.Ā 
See what Elvis does here. Andre Spetchnikov is an impressive 10 for 24 in his NHL career.Ā 
He weaves his way in. Spec fires and scores. Pretty confident play there from theĀ 
skilled forward from Carolina. See,Ā Ā  he’s weaving now. He sets that shot. Didn’tĀ 
waste any time once he set it. It’s a low snap. Wow, Ken Johnson. He’s creative. Jackets need a goal from KJ. He’s oneĀ 
for four in his career. Trying to keepĀ Ā  it going. Kent Johnson dancesĀ 
in. He scores. Kent Johnson. Oh, Coachov here not as aggressive with the pokeĀ 
check, but you see him as soon as he slides his hand up that stick, Ken Johnson slides it throughĀ 
the wickets. Good heads up play by Kent Johnson. Next up and for victory is Seth Jarvis. 0 forĀ 
five in his career. If he scores the Canes win it. Jack is in the save from Mleakkins.Ā 
Jarvis is in. Dances. Lost control. We’ll go to round four. Went to the back hand thereĀ 
and Elvis versus Lincoln stayed with him. Looks like he’s going to go forehand there. No, littleĀ 
fake. Elvis bites, but then he collects himself. Bantilio for one this year. HeĀ 
kicks us off with round number four against Kachkov. Vantilli inĀ 
makes the move and scores. Bantelli. Oh, it’s a really direct play here. He’sĀ 
shaking a lot, but he goes five hole. HeĀ Ā  pulls him open just enough right there. AndĀ 
it’s hard right to the back of the net. And now the Jackets get a save from Elvis Mleakkins.Ā 
They will be victorious. Sebastian Ao 25% of his career. He comes in with speed. AO denied byĀ 
Murakens. This one is over. The Blue Jackets will begin the new year with a huge shootoutĀ 
victory. The shootout will start with Dylan Stro shooting for Washington against Mark Andre Flurry. Stro moves in and FY outweights him and makesĀ 
the stop. So patient in there was Mark Andre Flurry. Kind of got out on top of the paint aĀ 
little bit later than I would have liked but just stays patient right there and nothing forĀ 
Dylan Stro to shoot at. And Matt Zukarelloo is the first to shoot for Minnesota. ZukarellooĀ 
against Lindren. Lingren got a piece of it to flex it wide. Now, we’ve seen that playĀ 
before from Matt Zukarella where he comes in with the stick right out in front of him andĀ 
he likes to just show shoot top glove actually, but there’s a blocker because he catches with hisĀ 
right hand. A little bit different look there forĀ Ā  Matt Zukarelloo. Nice save there by CharlieĀ 
Lingren. Pierre Luke Dubois for Washington. Dubois drives in with speed. Pad save Flurry. again. Almost an instant replay there. Mark AndreĀ 
Flurry getting out there just a little late, but does not bite at all. Stays patient.Ā 
Uh-oh. He’s heading to the bench right here, but this is Mark Andre Flurry getting out hereĀ 
a little late. Here’s Matt Baldy for Minnesota. Baldi scores and the Wild are a saveĀ 
away from a come from behind win in Washington. Matt Baldy coming in niceĀ 
and slow, beating the goalender right below the glove. And what a big goal inĀ 
this game right here if Mark Andre Flurry can shut the door on the great eight.Ā 
See if he can get some revenge. Well,Ā Ā  here is the matchup everybody in the buildingĀ 
came to see. Alex Ovetkin against Mark Andre Flurry. Hall of Famer v Hall of Famer. Ovetkin inĀ 
glove save. Flurry. And it’s a win for the Wild. Look at the Wild players jumpingĀ 
off the bench to go congratulateĀ Ā  the Hall of Famer. They knew what wasĀ 
at stake there at the end. Great call, partner. Two Hall of Famers. It doesn’t get anyĀ 
better than this. fakes with the poke check, gives him the top glove and takes it away.Ā 
He might he might have scored earlier in the game and got the best of Mark Andre Flurry, butĀ 
when the game mattered the most in the shootout, Mark Andre Flurry delivered. Huge twoĀ 
points here for the Wild to start thisĀ Ā  road trip. And he’ll go up against KevinĀ 
Lanken. New York strip in off the left. And he put it wide. Forced to put it wide.Ā 
Might have ticked off the pad of Lank. He’llĀ Ā  put the left leg up. And Borkstrand is nowĀ 
6 for 23 in his career. Tried to go to the forehand and over the pad. Gets in a little tight.Ā 
Lanken. It’s got it blocked off. And here’s JT Miller. [Applause] Miller had an assist on Meyer’sĀ 
goal in the third period. He’s over for one this season and he’s what a 30% shootout shooterĀ 
in his career. He’s in off the left as well. Scores connect first blood. It really takes noĀ 
time for the puck to zip off his stick. He comes off the left severe angle and then over the padĀ 
under the glove. The Conucks have a onezip lead in the shootout on Miller’s goal. Ko Ko KakoĀ 
likes the backhand deique. See what he does. Back hand deep and he put it wide again. LankinĀ 
had it covered. Even if he got the wrong goal, I’m not sure was going in. Mano goes to the deep,Ā Ā  but Lankin is just so sure of where he wantsĀ 
to be in the net. He slides with him. No look. Can Jake de Bruss can end this littleĀ 
flipper up over the glove to Bruss and this will continue as the Brusk is one for twoĀ 
on the season now. Tried to drag it and go upĀ Ā  over the glove. Just didn’t quite get it highĀ 
enough. It’s a good stop by Threw. He wants to go higher. Doesn’t get there. Now the game is upĀ 
for grabs here for Matty Baneers. He must score. one for seven in his career. And he stopped byĀ 
Lincoln and the Conucks win. Seattle with another third period comeback, but this time the ConucksĀ 
wouldn’t let them get to the finish line. Kevin Lankin, who came on in relief of Thatcher DemcoĀ 
in the second period, able to shut the door all three shooters and the Conucks win four to three.Ā 
Baneers who scored in the third period tries to go low glove. That’s a quick release by Baneers andĀ 
an even quicker left leg by Kevin Lanken. And man, Lanken has been terrific. He was excellent in theĀ 
second period when he came in in the shootout. He knocks away three straight and the Canucks afterĀ 
a New Year’s Eve loss. Game one of 2025 is in the books and it’s a win here in Seattle. Al MalinĀ 
this year is one for two. They usually go with him. Crosby, Raquel. Panthers will start it off.Ā 
Barkoff this year two for two. He and Reinhardt are always the shooters for the Panthers. So hereĀ 
we go in the shootout. Barkov trying to start it off for the Panthers and Jarry makes the stop.Ā 
Tried to go in on from the right side and drag it over and and hopefully Jarry just overplaysĀ 
the puck. We don’t think Barkov got enough wood on that to get the goal. Raquel went for threeĀ 
this season. Jarius, his first shootout this year. Raquel got the power play goal in theĀ 
final minute to send us to overtime to the backand and Knight stayed right withĀ 
him. That’s the key is make sure that the shooter makes the first move. And Raquel, lookĀ 
at that concentration, focus there by Spencer Knight. Just came across and allowed his reflexesĀ 
to make the save. All right, here’s Reinhardt. One for two this season. Round number two of theĀ 
shootout. Yes, Sam Reinhardt fires it home. When you’re in that close, you gotĀ 
to make sure that you get that puckĀ Ā  as elevated as possible. And that’sĀ 
exactly what Reinhardt did. Well, not his first rodeo. The 117th shootoutĀ 
attempt in Sydney Crosby’s 20-year career against 23-year-old Spencer Knight. CrosbyĀ 
Knight is right there. Oh, big Spence. calm and cool against one of the best in the gameĀ 
ever. And Spencer Knight again waits for Crosby to make the first move and then gets the blocker on.Ā 
Anton Lundell has been good in his career trying to earn the Panthers the extra point. LandellĀ 
Anjari. Let’s go, baby. Lundelle ends it and the Cats win it. Chicken coops and rubber boots.Ā 
Anton Lundell is playing some of the best hockey of the season. And look at he just beats Jarry.Ā 
The second time the Panthers went on that blocker side. Reinhardt right before him and ends it inĀ 
the shootout. Well, here we go with a shootout in Denver. Cole Coughfield will shoot first onĀ 
McKenzie Blackwood. Blackwood 0 and2 in the shootout this season. Coughfield one and two onĀ 
the season as he cuts in, slows down and scores. 21 goals on the season and he’s got one in theĀ 
shootout here as he’s going to cut across andĀ Ā  wait out Blackwood. And he just just just overĀ 
that pad and below the blocker the sweet spot. Jonathan Duan for the AS Druan eight for 30 inĀ 
his career on Donovish in his first shootout and he makes a great club save. Well, Drew, such aĀ 
shifty guy and he elects to come down the right side and as he cuts in, he goes back to theĀ 
backhand quickly thinking he’s got Dolvish,Ā Ā  but he leaves that glove right in the rightĀ 
place. What a glove save by Dovish. Now it’s Nick Suzuki 0 for one on the season as theĀ 
captain is 11 for 27 in his career. Cuts wide, gets in the slot, waits, and he lost it on theĀ 
backand as he tried to tuck it in. He had him. He had him and he knows it. This is a gutsy callĀ 
to pull this thing across on your backhand right there. It’s a sweeping pull and he just couldn’tĀ 
control it as Blackwood he he he was pushing that right leg back out. There wasn’t as muchĀ 
room as I thought. Nico Ransin now 0 for one on the season. Eight for 26 in his career.Ā 
Waits do weights him out and makes the save. What a cool cucumber is Dobish as he tracks himĀ 
across as Randon goes leg kick. Wait, wait, wait, wait. And the kid doesn’t bail on it. He staysĀ 
with him the whole way across. He had nothing. Kirby Doc with a chance to win it for Montreal.Ā 
Three for five in his career. All three goals have been gamedeciding goals and winners in theĀ 
shootout. Can he make it four? Doc scores. He does. Canadians win it in the shootout. And whatĀ 
a holiday road trip for Montreal as the Avalanche suffer their first loss in overtime or a shootoutĀ 
this season as Montreal ends their win streak at six games for the Avalanche. Well, 160 and0 whenĀ 
leading after two are the Avalanche. And there’s a blemish tonight as Kirby Doc, I mentioned howĀ 
much confidence he’s gained on this road trip in the last 10 or 12 games he’s played in. And thisĀ 
is a big goal for the Canadians. And they just had a gutsy performance here. All right, TageĀ 
Thompson will be first out of the gate here for Buffalo. He scored his 19th of the seasonĀ 
back in the second period, a power play goal. And the shootout begins. Ta Thompson from leftĀ 
to right takes the puck at center in over theĀ Ā  line glides to the circle far side between theĀ 
circles of the shot and a pad save by Lingren. Thompson just working his way in there andĀ 
I I think he was waiting for Lingard to openĀ Ā  up do something but he just stays on hisĀ 
feet stays tall. Tries to go back across the far side there and he just gets a left padĀ 
on. Keeps it out for number. So Pier Dubois, a former Blue Jacket firstrounder inĀ 
2016. He shoots first for Washington. Look at it in above the blueĀ 
paint. Dubois walks in, scores. He just comes in on cuts in the middleĀ 
on his forehand and just a quick shot.Ā Ā  You see that really quick releaseĀ 
there beats Lukan on the blocker side. Shooting second for the Sabres.Ā 
Number 22, Jack Quinn. Jack Quinn is a shooter. And let’s see. The Sabres need oneĀ 
here. It won’t end it if they don’t get it, but it certainly makes life a lot better.Ā 
Quinn between the circles. Face backhand.Ā Ā  Lindren gets a glove on it. And he’sĀ 
stopped the first two Buffalo shooters. And now the game is on the stick of theĀ 
capital shooter. Dylan Stro’s coming in. Gopeka Lucin will be calledĀ 
upon to make a must stop here against Stro. Takes a puck at center. ComeĀ 
near side this time. Walk it in. Stro holds it and a save by Lucan. And Saber still inĀ 
it here. Nice job by Lucan and keeping his body up right there. He’s down but he’s there’sĀ 
really nowhere to shoot. He’s taking so much ofĀ Ā  the net away. Stro comes down on his strongĀ 
side, cuts into the middle, and then tries going back across. But you see where Lukan’s out.Ā 
He’s almost to the top of the blue paint there,Ā Ā  and there’s not a lot to look at. Number 89, Alex.Ā 
Alex Tuck at center ice. Sabres need a goal from number 89 near circle. Tuck walks in face deep,Ā 
scores. Alex Tuck tucks it in and the shootout. Now this is an aggressive power move rightĀ 
here by Alex Tuck coming in on his strongĀ Ā  side. He changed his direction three times rightĀ 
there. In gets a piece of it with his stick, but he just powers that one through and itĀ 
gets underneath his stick across the line. Carlson against Lucin. [Applause] Sabres needĀ 
a save from their goender. Carlson to the near circle between the circles. Kick save and aĀ 
beauty by Lucin and this is a 1-1 shootout. We are heading to extra innings here now. JJĀ 
Purk is coming up. Looks like Carlson looking to go five hole there on Lucin and he’s able toĀ 
get that left pad on it. Number 77, JJ Purka. JJ takes the puck from center slowly across theĀ 
line. One hand on the stick now too as he works his way in. Scores. JJ jammies that one intoĀ 
the back of the net and the Sabres get their second of the shootout. Great patience here byĀ 
Peter. comes down the side, cuts into the middle, and that puck is just perfectly placed just justĀ 
over the top of that left pad inside the post, but it was quick and hard. Number six, Cherin andĀ 
Lucin. Mono Amano here in the shootout. Lucin, if he can stop this one, Sabres will get theĀ 
point. Cher walks in. Lucin stays with it. Yes, he did. Save by Lucin. Sabres gets the two points. He’s just waiting for something to happen. AĀ 
little stutter step right there. But look atĀ Ā  how Lukan gets across the ice from his left acrossĀ 
to his right and able to make this save. And once again, EPL does it for the Sabres. Johnson twoĀ 
for five in his career. First shooter skates in against Tristan Jar. He scores. Kent Johnson.Ā 
One nothing in the shootout for the Jackets. A confident play there, Kent Johnson. UniqueĀ 
little sweep of the stick right there. Kept it way out in front of him and just slid it five. AlmostĀ 
slinged it there between the legs. Rust is very good. Six for 10. Here he is. Denied by Mleakens.Ā 
Oh, confident save there by Elvis. Mleakens. Stays up tall and takes it right off the pad. RussĀ 
tries to pull with a quick shot right there. Adam Fantelli is next. Remember that shootoutĀ 
goal he scored against the Carolina Hurricanes. The thing of beauty. Can he make it two nothing?Ā 
He’s in on goal. Fantelli off the post. Quick hands here by Adam Fantelli. Beats Jarry but he’sĀ 
a little frustrated because it goes right off the post. Cindy Crosby. What’s Crosby got? UsuallyĀ 
a shooter. He’s 39% in his Hall of Fame career. He’s got a good backand too. Going to take itĀ 
wide. Cutting on in. Crosby lost control. And the Jackets have a chance for victory. MarchenkoĀ 
is going to come out. Crosby gets it a little too in tight. Waiting for Elvis to flinch there andĀ 
just loses the puck. Can he do it? Can he end it here in Pittsburgh? Carill Marteno for the win.Ā 
skates in on goal. He scores. Carill Mart and goal. Ends it tonight in Pittsburgh. The streakĀ 
is history. The Jackets have come back to win it. Well, great effort here. Team effort by the BlueĀ 
Jackets in Pittsburgh. The first time since 2015, they’ve won here. And the Blue Jackets comeĀ 
back down by two goals in the third period and the first win in Pittsburgh since November 13th,Ā 
2015. The team is the IGS performer tonight here in Pittsburgh. He will be the first shooter. HeĀ 
was the only Montreal player to find the back of the net so far tonight. He’ll go a littleĀ 
wide. Curl back in and Anger with the save. Make sure he has it and he does. Across the goalĀ 
line froze for a second there. Line A comes in all syrupy and you could read that pretty quickĀ 
that he was going to pull it to the forehand and try to snap it. Read it and met it. There mightĀ 
not be a better leadoff man in the shootout in the league than Jason Robertson. Feels like he’sĀ 
been automatic. He’ll start on the left against Montenbo. He scores perfectly into the corner.Ā 
The man cannot be stopped. I don’t know why. Like, watch Montenbo’s glove. He knows he’s going toĀ 
come in and try to flick high glove. I mean,Ā Ā  he does it every time. It’s like a mind melt. ItĀ 
looks so easy and it’s so deadly. Cfield trying to answer the leading goal scorer for Montreal.Ā 
He goes way wide left almost to the boards back in and made the save on the intight move. QuickĀ 
hands trying to get it underneath the boter. This is really kitty caddy from the Stars net minder.Ā 
The great patience. You can see him on his edges there. You know, Cfield threw every move he hadĀ 
at him trying to get him to bite big and open up. Stars can end it here. Wyatt Johnston a goalĀ 
to win it in Montreal. Johnston off the bar and it stayed out. Appeared to graze Montbo on theĀ 
way back out and it wouldn’t fall in. I would have bet money he was going high glove again.Ā 
Montbo out on his angle. The only spot I think was the pipe back in. Got a little touch justĀ 
enough of it I think to send it off the pipe. Canadian’s captain Nick Suzuki trying to extendĀ 
it. Needs to score to keep things going. He’ll take the winding route from the near circle.Ā 
Save by Anger. The fist pump and Dallas gets the victory. They’ve won seven in a row and theyĀ 
outlast the Canadians 2-1 tonight at Bell Center. That’s a great mix to have Robertson out ofĀ 
the one hole to give the goalender the lead and Jake Autinger perfection in the shootout as heĀ 
just waits. Wonderful patience. The Stars extend the lead and just a supreme performance in heĀ 
approaches Knight to the backhand to the forehand. Made it look easy. What a move by Connor to giveĀ 
the Devils the shootout lead. Well, when we talk about when we talk about skill, we talk aboutĀ 
magic and we talk about bag of tricks. Well, he pulls out a few tricks here. There’s a pump fake,Ā 
a kickstart, and a hard fake to the back end and a jock strap up in the rafters next to Kendanico’sĀ 
jersey. That’s what happens when skill personified takes over in an NHL shootout. Here comes Barky,Ā 
the captain. Bark off for the equalizer. Scores. Saw. Oh boy. A little daylight inside theĀ 
post and not the shootout at one. Yep. Low and slow. He comes in here. He’s got that longĀ 
reach. Keeps it out wide. Freezes Markstrom. He’s got no chance on that. Such a toughĀ 
play when you got a big guy like that. Jerp experienced in the shootout as youĀ 
can see. his 27th career attempt. Lifted it over the bar. Yes, Brat looking toĀ 
freeze Spencer Knight here and then just get this over his glove with a light backhand flip,Ā 
but gets under this puck a little bit here. So, you can see it. Walks in, goes forehand,Ā 
and just tries to elevate it over the glove,Ā Ā  but looks like it may even have scraped theĀ 
crossbar there. Last year’s second leading goal scorer in the NHL behind Austin Matthews.Ā 
Here’s Reinhardt stopped with the stick by Jacob Marstrom. Only fitting that Marky makes theĀ 
big save against right now the league’s best goal scorer in Sam Reinhardt comes in here on hisĀ 
forehand with some speed. Doesn’t Rick really make too much of a move here. Just looking to freezeĀ 
him and beat him on the low glove side. Now JackĀ Ā  Hughes to give the Devils the lead. denied. ItĀ 
looked like Knight was able to close the door with the blocker and now a chance for LundellĀ 
to win it for Florida. Jack comes in here and looking to go low blocker and the puck just seemsĀ 
to bounce up on him a little bit. A little slow on his release. Lundell with a chance to to winĀ 
it here. Anton Lundell on Marstrom goes wide. stays on the forehand and scores. Anton LundelleĀ 
pecks the corner and in a shootout for the fourth time this season, the Panthers get an extra point.Ā 
Big big points for the Florida Panthers. Much much needed win against a team that they could see inĀ 
the playoffs. Not having getting a win against the New Jersey Devils this year. This a bigĀ 
one for them. two for two this year. I don’t know what he’s thinking against 6’7 Ivan FedahĀ 
Johnson leading us off scores again three for three Ken Johnson and it’s quick it’s alongĀ 
the ice and it’s a five hole he sets a table here all the stick handling little shiftinessĀ 
and he doesn’t hesitate as he gets it way outĀ Ā  front it’s a flick and Pedotov goes for the pokeĀ 
check and as soon as Johnson sees it he slides it right through now the top player for the FlyersĀ 
Travis Kenkne 22% in his career. Slowly skates it against Terasaw. Makes his move. Flips it off theĀ 
post. Oh, he had him beat. What a creative move. That was almost Datsuki. It wasĀ 
exactly what I was going to say.Ā Ā  Draws him across. The big man goes down.Ā 
Now he drags him and it’s a flip. Oh, that close. It might have caught aĀ 
little piece of Terasoft’s glove there. Next up, it’s Adam Fantelli. Round number two.Ā 
Fanty digs and stopped by Fedto. Another low shot. You can see where they’re trying toĀ 
go here on Fedotov. He’s actually staringĀ Ā  down Fanty sets the table. Tries to slide itĀ 
across the ice there. And Fedotop with the eyes. There’s the phenom. Matt B Mechov one forĀ 
three in his young NHL career trying to tie it up for the Flyers here. BottomĀ 
of the second. Mechov dances in post check by Terasov. Oh, he had him. ItĀ 
looked like he had him at one point, but Terasoft with a big strong arm here.Ā 
And an extra move from Mishkov right there. Good job by Terasov in desperation. AndĀ 
then he sends his fellow countrymen down. Carel for the win. When he scores, it’s over.Ā 
Look at Barack off here on the bench with Cylinger Delu. He ended the shootout in Pittsburgh. ThreeĀ 
for five in his career for victory. Mareno scores. Mareno. An incredible goal inĀ 
the shootout. The attack has come back and defeat the Flyers.Ā 
They’ve won five straight games. And you think they don’t know what Terasaw’s beenĀ 
through. He went down to the miners. He comes in tonight and gets the victory. A 3-2 shootoutĀ 
win against the Philadelphia Flyers. And it’s all smiles and a little relief for that man asĀ 
he wins it in the shootout here. Two big saves, two big goals by the Blue Jackets in the shootout.Ā 
And two massive goals by Zach Waransky as you see a little throw there. Creative Nissan move of theĀ 
game by Marenko. He’s going to let one hand off the stick and just guide that puck right throughĀ 
the five hole here and the Blue Jackets get the two points in the shootout. What a night hereĀ 
for this team. and he will be the first shooter tonight. Here comes Gensel in on Dosto scores.Ā 
He’s a shooter and there’s no surprise there. So he comes in. Do is like, “Yeah, I missed thatĀ 
one.” He lost his positioning there and seemed to get surprised by when the shot came. He was in theĀ 
middle and really nice job by Gensel to let him float. Oh, it actually went fivefold. I thoughtĀ 
he’d beaten them short side, but he ripped thatĀ Ā  one right on the ice before he could get down.Ā 
Speaking of ripping one, Leo Carlson also has a goal tonight and he will shoot first for andĀ 
he can’t get a shot away. He had him beaten. Vashi is going the wrong way. And Carlson’s gotĀ 
some nasty moves. This one got away from him. Yikes. But got to say Bowsy made him do it tooĀ 
quick. He was moving too quick and he couldn’t pull it off. Here’s points. Braen pointsĀ 
straight up the middle. Points stopped by the stall. Went for the just basic move fake. AĀ 
little forehand shot. They go to the back end. really good on the back end cuz he has that toeĀ 
curve and the rest of the stick is really flat.Ā Ā  He can get it airborne quickly but he just missed.Ā 
So here’s Mason Mcavish with a chance to tie it for the Ducks taking his time. McTavish in stoppedĀ 
by Vaselki. Either is really tired or this is his usual move but you could have timed this attemptĀ 
with a calendar. I very rarely see these work. I’m not sure why guys do them, but hey, everybody’sĀ 
got their thing. And the crowd gets up. And here comes Nikita Cucharov. He can put them aheadĀ 
here. He can win it right here. Cucharov stopped by Dostal. Boy, do looked really sharp all gameĀ 
long. Cooch gives him a really good fake like he’s going to shoot. [Music] only frozen for aĀ 
quarter of a second here. Look how low he is. Holy mackerel. He’s ready to explode either way. AndĀ 
body reaction was great. Troy Terry has to score. This one’s over. Terry in on Vaselki. Sapped byĀ 
Vaselki. And the Lightning win. minutes. [Music] Took a little longer than they would haveĀ 
liked, but Andre Basilki three for three in the shootout. Great stick. Great stickĀ 
there. That’s what does it approaches slowly, drifts way out to the wing. CrowdĀ 
on their feet. He scores. [Applause] seemed to put everybody to sleep and thenĀ 
strike slow to the outside and then watch him just quick Hanzo at the end. He justĀ 
pulls it and then catches Solder BloomĀ Ā  going down with that slow approach butĀ 
quick accurate shot there by Nyquist. Now Tavine Finn versus Finn. Terrain a quickerĀ 
approach. Sorrows Isaac and he ties it up. took a different approach. He came in withĀ 
speed and then just did a little shoulder littleĀ Ā  shoulder fake and shot in stride there and he getsĀ 
to the outside. That just buys enough time as you see Juice. He’s trying to stay patient. He didĀ 
that quick little hand fake and then shot right after and followed it up and just didn’t have timeĀ 
to react. Now it is Ryan O’Reilly in round number two. He’ll come in from the near side. BringsĀ 
it back to the middle. He scores. two for two and he comes in a little fast then slowsĀ 
down and it’s all about the quick hands.Ā Ā  Quick little fake to the backand pull to theĀ 
front quick in one motion and lift him elevated up over the path. Nice slick move there byĀ 
O’Reilly. Here goes Bard. The fans giving it to him. Bard has a shootout goal againstĀ 
the Predators in his career. Here he comesĀ Ā  with speed against Sorrows. Trying to even upĀ 
this shootout. He is stopped by Jussi Sorrows trying to come in with speed and then he slamsĀ 
on the brakes here and then goes really slowĀ Ā  and then he’s going to use his quick hands and heĀ 
even waited a second to try to see if Juice would open up there and got the pads and stick down.Ā 
Have to save that one here. Game on the line. Stamp coast. Van Co’s first shootout attempt as aĀ 
Nashville Predator. He approaches. He scores. Yes, sir. Round three for three and they win it.Ā 
And this is a goal scorers goal right there. You’re not stopping that. You saw Look atĀ 
Solder drop his shoulder. Once he did that,Ā Ā  it was game over. This is a goal scorer thatĀ 
just executes head up the whole way and then makes a beautiful shot. Sodestrom just had toĀ 
look behind him and throw in the towel. What a shot there. What a shootout. We got ourselvesĀ 
a five tie and a shootout. And how that didn’t get solved in the overtime guards, I have noĀ 
idea the number of chances that were there. So Tim Stutzel will shoot first for Ottawa. OttawaĀ 
0 and one in the shootout this year. This is the first shootout for the Bruins this season. AndĀ 
Tim Stutzla will start it off against Swayman. Cuts wide right gets in the slot. Wade strainsĀ 
it. Scores trying the poke check. Couldn’t get it. And Stutzler burries it. Well, that’s someĀ 
crazy patience for Stutzla as he cuts across. I think he’s going to jam the five hole and IĀ 
think Swayman does too. So he puts the stickĀ Ā  down to cover the five hole and then when heĀ 
realizes he’s not he tries to get the stick out to kind of reverse poke check him. Nice goalĀ 
by Stutzel. Charlie Coyle the first shooter for Boston against Maryland. And Coyle goes toĀ 
the forehead back and he’s stopped by Marilyn. Well, the patience of Marilyn as Coyle cruisesĀ 
in right to left, tries to get to the backand and get over the pad of Marilyn and he makes theĀ 
save. Now Drake Pathther, the second shooter for Ottawa. Bath into the slot and he can’tĀ 
put that one through the pads and swimming. I thought he was going to do theĀ 
same thing as Stutela and wait it outĀ Ā  going the other way. Take it fartherĀ 
farther out and try to go upstairs. He tries to go quickly and Swayman shuts itĀ 
down. David Posternok second shooter from Monster gets in forehead and can’t slide itĀ 
through the pass of Carolina with a little stare over at him as he tries toĀ 
make it look like he’s going to fire itĀ Ā  and then let it slide through the five holeĀ 
right there. Just let it slide through. Look at Carolina looking at him likeĀ 
don’t bring that stuff to me. CloseĀ Ā  Sheru with a chance to win it for Ottawa.Ā 
Garu waits and he’s stopped by Swayman. Oh, nice right leg save there on Jaru byĀ 
Swayman. And this is all going to come down this last shot. And the pressure is on Pavl ZakaĀ 
who’s had a pretty good run the last two games. Za cuts in on Carolina. Zaka stop wins itĀ 
in a wild here in the nation’s capital. It is hard to believe with five minutes to goĀ 
the Senators were down five to three. pulled the goalie twice, got two big goals from JensenĀ 
and Norris. A crazy overtime with tons of chances and it comes down to a shootout and a beautifulĀ 
goal by Tim Stol. Carolina shuts the door on the Bruins and they came out with an incredible 65Ā 
win in overtime and gained ground on the Boston Bruins. And here we go to a shootout. This is oneĀ 
of those games you just shake your head. It’s Oh, man. It’s been something. All right, Columbus 4Ā 
and0 in shootouts this season. This is the first Rangers shootout. Terasoff is 1 and0 in shootoutsĀ 
this season. Mleakkins has the other three wins. Paneran will start it off. The Rangers choseĀ 
to shoot first. Paneran breaks in, slows down, fake fakes, and no, it hit the crossbar. StayedĀ 
out. He waited about as long as he could, and he finally got Terasoft to go down toĀ 
the ice. Fake shot. Terasoft goes down and then there it is just off the post. KentĀ 
Johnson for Columbus. weaves his way in on Shurkin and a save by Schistin. JohnsonĀ 
had been three for three in shootout. Yeah, he kept Shester Sturkin kept his stickĀ 
on the ice as Johnson tried to beat himĀ Ā  through the legs with a quick shot. upĀ 
for the Rangers. Vincent Troche number starts off slowly, swings wide,Ā 
cuts in and shoots and scores. He almost ran into the boards on the otherĀ 
side. He went so wide and then cut across. Oh, watch him pull the puck and he fools Terasoft.Ā 
Terasoft thought he was going the other way. Adam Fantelli for Columbus. Cuts in. Look, fakes,Ā 
fakes, misses. I think Sturken might have got a stick on that. I think he might have deflectedĀ 
it. Let’s see if he reaches out with the stick. Just gets a piece of it. Ma Zaban Jad is up.Ā 
He can win it for the Rangers. If he scores, it’s over. Zabajad. Save made by Terasov. So now if Igor Sturken can makeĀ 
a save, the Rangers will win. Marenko is up for Columbus. Here it is. MarenkoĀ 
moves in and saves to Sturken. Rangers win. Igor Shester Sturkin with a brilliant shutoutĀ 
performance. He made 27 saves in regulation in overtime and then he made a couple of big onesĀ 
in the shootout. So Neighbors the first shooter tonight against Hill. He goes wide. NeighborsĀ 
comes in, he scores right through the five hole and the Blues get the first shootout goal. UhĀ 
Jake Neighbors, remember the last shootout he uh scored a goal for the Blues and he takes the sameĀ 
pattern in and the last time he went low blocker and I think Hill may have been thinking that JakeĀ 
Neighbors closes that up after and goes five hole. Put the Blues up one- nothing here in the shootoutĀ 
and Victor Olivesson will shoot for Vegas. And he comes in on Bennington.Ā 
Olafson waiting and a save byĀ Ā  Bennington. He got across and gotĀ 
the arm up. That’s a nice save by Jordan Bennington. Quite patient on thisĀ 
one. Watch goalender. Patient, patient, and he gets that leg and that arm out there. SoĀ 
Shen will be the second shooter for the Blues. And he could make it reallyĀ 
tough for Vegas with a goal here. Shen again. He comes in, waiting, shoots.Ā 
He scores. Shen. And the Blues have scored two straight in the shootout. And now oneĀ 
save from Bennington will seal the deal. But what’s interesting is Braden Shen takesĀ 
a very similar path as Jake Neighbors. And he goes glove on this one. Right there overĀ 
the pad, under the glove. Jack Eel must score to extend it. Here’s Ekeel in. Waiting,Ā 
waiting, and he scores. What a move by Eel. Wow. Well, that right there just wasn’t veryĀ 
nice at all by Jack Eel. What a move. Patience. He’s got that long reach, too. That’s whatĀ 
makes it so hard for the goalenders. One,Ā Ā  he handles a puck so well. Two, he’s got that longĀ 
reach. Not much for B to do. So Holloway with a chance to win it for the Blues. Here he comes.Ā 
Holloway shoots it high and that’s wide. And now the Knights a chance to tie it with their finalĀ 
shooter. It’s going to be Doraf too who has been hot. He tied the game at 1931 and he’s got a goodĀ 
shot. Must score on Bennington. Here he comes. Dorif waiting and a poke check and a save byĀ 
Bennington at the goal line and the Blues win in a shootout. The final score tonight 54 asĀ 
Bennington makes the pad save on Dorafia. What a save by Jordan Bennington. Is Doria reallyĀ 
going in slow being patient? Jordan Bennington and Conor McDavid as the Oilers choose to goĀ 
first. Why not? McDavid been known to score a little bit. He’s got the puck, walks in on Lion,Ā 
backhander, and a great save. Oh my. He stretches that left toe out and stops Conor McDavid andĀ 
continues his incredible. This is like a wall play so far in this one. A great save. I love theĀ 
patience by Alex Lion on that one. He outweighed McDavid and he’s able to get that left pad on theĀ 
on the puck there. Keep that one out of the net. Lucas Raymond. First round for Detroit.Ā 
After the great save by Lion. Now Raymond will test Skinner. Angling right in withĀ 
a shot. He scores. Lucas Raymond tucked it inside the right goal post and the WingsĀ 
lead it one to nothing through round one. Nice shot by Raymond. He starts out really wideĀ 
here and he starts going slow. Puts it right under the glove of Skinner. Sometimes that messesĀ 
up the goalies when you go that slow. Nan Hopkins for Edmonton. Right in shot. Never got it off. HeĀ 
panned on it. Did you fan on that? He did. Wow. What about that one? I think he was right with himĀ 
though. He brings it. Yeah. He doesn’t even get a shot off. Wow. You don’t see that too often. NotĀ 
from a player like that, but if you’re Alex Lion, you’ll take it. And Larkin a chance to win it.Ā 
If he scores here to try a four straight win. Lin score. Dylan Larkin in the wings of four andĀ 
a roll. And what a start to the road trip as they knock off the Oilers by a final of three-2 in theĀ 
shootout. Raymond and Lurin. Start of the season for New Jersey. Raquel very good in his career.Ā 
40% in the shootout. He comes in slow and scores. Wow. I I didn’t think he had much to shoot at.Ā 
Very to shoot at is right, Bryce. From up top, it didn’t look like that. The angle he putĀ 
himself on, but there’s that pace and slow, slow, and just inside the post, glove hand side.Ā 
Wow. All right. Paul Carter’s going to start for New Jersey. He’s one for one this season. He comesĀ 
in with a full head of steam. Deaks and scores. That’s filthy. Yeah, he’s so good. AbsolutelyĀ 
filthy by Paul Carter to tie this game up in the shootout. They’ll tie the shootout out, shallĀ 
I say? Two guys doing it entirely differently. Raquel went slow. Carter went quick. And nowĀ 
Sydney Crosby following the same flight path as Raquel to start. He gets to the insideĀ 
and Daw turns him away. Nice. Nice. Well, Daw this time waited Crosby out. Really good saveĀ 
there by Daw on the great Sydney Crosby. We know that’s a highlight moment for him. Yeah, blockerĀ 
save. Crosby tries to go against the grain. Here comes Jack Hughes. He has scored twice today.Ā 
Goes hard fanned on it and we stay tied at one. Well, tough break there for for JackĀ 
Hughes as he tries to get it to the forehand with the quick snap, but he justĀ 
just bobbled it. Brian Rust on Nico Daw and Daw gloves it. Nothing fancy there fromĀ 
Rust. Daw was ready for the quick shot. Oh, and Daw coming up big. [Applause] Jasper Brat hasĀ 
a chance to win it for New Jersey. Get a big two points in Pittsburgh. Brat cuts in Delovic makesĀ 
the save. Did that go through the five hole? Yeah, he tried to fool him and he almost did. IĀ 
think it caught the inside of the skate. Yeah. Right through. He had the five hole. It’s AnthonyĀ 
Bavilier in round number four for Pittsburgh. Oh, what a move. Bavilier scores. Now the Devils needĀ 
one to extend the shootout. Yeah, that’s that’s a nice nice move by Bavilier, but Brat had it. HeĀ 
had the win and that’s now Douge has to score to keep it going. Douggee Hamilton looking toĀ 
extend this to a fifth round. The defenseman cuts in. He looks, he shoots, he scores. Nice,Ā 
nice, nice. Douggee Hamilton keeps him alive. Well, Douggee Hamilton found the five hole there,Ā 
Bryce, as he goes wide to the right, pulls that puck back to the middle, drags Melkovic and buriesĀ 
it. Kevin Hayes scored for Pittsburgh. Daw denies it with the glove. All right, win this for DoyĀ 
now already. That’s a that’s a beauty. What a save by Daw. Kevin Hayes is real good at this.Ā 
He’s got great hands, that long reach, deception, and Daw comes up big. Tomas Tatar with a chance toĀ 
win it for the Devils. [Applause] In round five, Tatar stops. Heavic gets a pat out. Wow. Oh, thisĀ 
is a pretty good move by Tatar. And a really good save again. Look at Tatar go to the forehand. HeĀ 
just has to wait it out a little longer. That’s a heck of a save. Chris Latang’s a career 31.8%Ā 
shooter in the shootout. Couple of deeps. He can’t beat Daw. This is This is tense. BeautifulĀ 
right pad save. Stretched out the right pad on Latang who has great hands and goes to the backĀ 
hand. How about Luke Hughes here in round six? He starts wide. Luke HughesĀ 
attacks, delays, and goes wide. We’ll go to round seven. We’re going deep. We’reĀ 
going deep. I don’t have much much more air here, guys. This is tense. Cody Glass only his thirdĀ 
career attempt in a shootout. Bullhead of Steve and Daw stones him. Hey, Doy’s doing his partĀ 
here. Has he ever? Has he ever jersey number 28? Well, go win it right here for him.Ā 
Teemo. Teemo Meyer is next in round seven. Loops wide. Teemo in. He shoots. He scores.Ā 
[Applause] Teemo Meyer burns it in and the Devils leave Pittsburgh with two points. This is a beautyĀ 
by team Omire. Love that little fake with the pump fake with kind of the head and right leg and ripsĀ 
it upstairs past Nadalovich. Beneers first attempt of the over the shootout. The former MichiganĀ 
Wolverine. Here’s Beners. Walks in, thinks, and never got the shot off. Just too many movesĀ 
sometimes, Denny. And especially with rough ice. Well, it’s a great job by Telba,Ā 
too, by waiting him out. Obviously, mishandled the puck there, but Telba didn’tĀ 
overcommit on that one either. Lucas Raymond, two for two in shootouts. First round attempt forĀ 
the Red Wings. Wide left, angles in on Decord. Takes a look backand shot and boy I think mightĀ 
hit the post and trickle underneath Joey Dord. Well, he had just a few inches on that. RavenĀ 
starts us out really wide and as he comes across, it’s hard for the goalie to get back and forthĀ 
and he had him there. He just couldn’t get itĀ Ā  back forward around his pad. Shane Wright hadĀ 
two in regulation. Walks in shot. Big save as Cam Talbot stayed right with him. Got the blockerĀ 
on that one. And here we go. Patrick Kane’s got a opportunity to rewrite the National Hockey LeagueĀ 
record books. Correct. Sure does. He sure does. Here we go. Kane second round. Right down the slotĀ 
he goes. Hangs on backand score. And it’s a new record in the National Hockey League. The mostĀ 
shootout goals by an individual in NHL history. We’re not done yet, but Patrick Kane, how silkyĀ 
smooth. He starts out with a little bit of speed and then hits the brakes there at the hatchĀ 
that pushes the goalie back a little bit andĀ Ā  then he just uses those great hands. Speaking ofĀ 
history, Red Wings open for seven in a row. Lexi walks in and Detroit for the second time underĀ 
Don Mlen have won seven consecutive games. First four game sweep on a road trip in almost 30 years.Ā 
Here’s the last job by Ko and Telbot just patient. Just patient again. Outweights the shooter. ReallyĀ 
gives him nothing to shoot at on that one either. One of one this year. Starts the shootoutĀ 
in on an angle. Scores. [Music] [Applause] Watch the quick hands. Watch change forehandĀ 
backand flick. There’s no this is all one continuous move. And then he goes make sure heĀ 
you can see that he kept waiting. He wanted to see the goalender’s glove get over top. ArcadiaĀ 
horn Jason Robertson for Dallas moves in. Shoots missed the net. and he tried to just pull it andĀ 
then be quick. You’re going slow, you’re holding on and then the quickness of the release wouldĀ 
catch and you know what Rick was down there in the top corner was open just missed for the game. 28%Ā 
in his career. Fia right up the middle. Scores. Little different right. He went up the middle.Ā 
He didn’t make the goalender change his angle,Ā Ā  but then by the time the shots taken, I think isĀ 
so deep in his net. Oh yeah, he went for the fake. Kevin made the fake. Watch this right there. AndĀ 
that’s going to go. Look at the goender flinch. He’s deep over the pad. Save here. Wins it forĀ 
the Gangs. Matt Duchain. Two goals tonight and an assist. Duchain speeding in. Duchain digs. Save.Ā 
Reick. Kings with it. And a shootout. Five- four. Riddick had a little bit of a in your face thereĀ 
for after he made the save. I don’t know if he’ll pick it up here. This time Rick does not bite.Ā 
He does not flinch. And look at this. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh, he puts it back into the holster.Ā 
He’s more of a shooter than a deaker on these shootouts. We’ll see what he does here. NeighborsĀ 
against Solder Bloom. He goes wide. Neighbors comes in, shoots it, and a pad saved by Solderble.Ā 
Well, Jake had that spot between the wickets and he always takes that same pattern in here.Ā 
And Solder Bloom had the leg spread wide open. Just Jake misses the shot there. And now ConnorĀ 
Bard will shoot. He’s one for two on the year. Former first overall pick Bard on Bennington. HereĀ 
he comes. He pulls up and a save by Bennington. Great patience there by Jordan Bennington.Ā 
He stays with the shooter. Stays with theĀ Ā  shooter. Reloads there on the pads down here.Ā 
Then reloads right there and then back again. Drops the other pad. Denying the guard.Ā 
And now the captain Shen on to round two. Here comes Shen waiting. BackhanderĀ 
and he scores. What a play by Shen. The captain with a great move on this one here.Ā 
He’s looking to pull it to the back end. Kind of bobbles it a little bit right there. SeeĀ 
the puck roll and then he gets it again andĀ Ā  tucks it behind the pass of Soder Bloom.Ā 
Great patience by Braden Shadow on this. Great patience indeed. And the Blues take theĀ 
lead in the shootout. Terrainian will shoot for Chicago. Two for two on the year. Here he comes.Ā 
Terraining in and he scores and he ties it at one. Well, that uh quite a goal there byĀ 
Terrain and slowing down here. Waiting, waiting, and then he pulls it up top over theĀ 
block. That’s just an elite move right there, I would say. So, it’s tied at one onto roundĀ 
three. And Dylan Holloway will shoot for the Blues. Holloway comes in up the middle waitingĀ 
and a great pass save by Solder Bloom. Wow, that was a real good save by Solder Bloom as DylanĀ 
Holloway I believe had him here. He’s patient, patient pulling and then just doesn’t getĀ 
the puck up over the pad as Sonno with a big push to make that save. So nowĀ 
Ryan Donado could win it for Chicago. It’s nailbiting time here at Enterprise Center.Ā 
He’s one for one on the year. Donado comes in and a move and a save by BenningtonĀ 
with a poke shot. On to round four. Wow, Donado there. Just a few too many moves inĀ 
my opinion that let Jordan Bennington kind of relax a little and wait for his moment.Ā 
But you see several moves, waiting, waiting,Ā Ā  and then bitter. He’s savvy with that poke check.Ā 
So on to round four. Kyru will shoot for the Blues and he comes in quickly on Solderboom. Kyro nowĀ 
pulls up waiting. Had save by the hot goender. Jordan Kyro doing best to change speeds. comingĀ 
in a little bit hot and then little bit of theĀ Ā  break pads there and then hoping that SonnerĀ 
Bloom thinks he’s going blocker but he stayed right with Jordan Ky. Now Craig Smith with aĀ 
chance to win it. Losing another save. Here comes Smith waiting. Save Bennington again thisĀ 
time with the glove. On to round five. Well, Smith trying to come in here and justĀ 
overpower Jordan Bennington with that shot.Ā Ā  Jordan Pennington doesn’t bite. Gets the gloveĀ 
on it. And now Robert Thomas who tied the game at 1523 into the fifth round. Here’s Thomas comingĀ 
in and a save by Solderblue with his blocker. Well, both goenders putting on a little bitĀ 
of a display here. Robert Thomas looking toĀ Ā  snap this thing to the blocker side, but SolderĀ 
Bloom right there for the save. Chicago. And now the youngster Lucas Riel, their first roundĀ 
pick in 2020. Five goals on the year and he could win it for Chicago. Here’s Riel andĀ 
a save again by Bennington. And we go on. Now both goenders showing tremendous patience.Ā 
They’re not biting on much here. They’re stayingĀ Ā  square to the puck. That’s several savesĀ 
now you’ve asked your goalender to make. Bush Davich here got it ended into round six.Ā 
Bush Davich he waits forehand saves Totterloo and the Hawks another chance to win it. Well,Ā 
Pavl Davis coming in here a little pump fake but look at the goalie. Saw it stayed little theĀ 
entire time. Square to the puck the whole thing. And now Nazar the rookie and he hopes to end it.Ā 
Bennington needs another save. Here comes Frank Nazar right up the middle. Nazar waiting and heĀ 
shoots it wide. And now we go on to round seven. We are getting deep into the batting lineupĀ 
here. contest. Nazar comes in, tries to find his shot to the glove, but just misses the netĀ 
completely. And now Zack Buluke. He’s got good nets into round seven. Bulldog comes in with speedĀ 
now. Pulls up. Saved by Solderb. He’s been solid. Well, most players here, John, electing not to de Bulldog no different fires that theĀ 
glove save and now Ian McKay who scored a great goal midway throughĀ 
the third period. He’ll try and end it. Here he comes. Mave waiting.Ā 
Save off the stick by Bennington. McKay coming in from that angle. tries to goĀ 
over the pad there. Not happening. And now the birthday boy, Nathan Walker.Ā 
Nathan Walker into round eight. Here’s Walker with speed up the middle. Lady savedĀ 
by Solder Bloom with his arm. Boy, John, we saw a lot of goals here tonight and now the goalendersĀ 
have said, “No, we’re not having anymore.” Nathan Walker comes in off that wide angleĀ 
as well. Try to go back to the blocker.Ā Ā  Denied. And now the hometown hero Pat MaroonĀ 
[Applause] as he tries to end this game. Maroon on Bennington. Here he comes. And a save byĀ 
Bennington against his former teammate. The bakery coming in there. Pat little fake tryingĀ 
to go to the block. You see the puck jump up on him here just a little bit at the end andĀ 
Jordan Bennington with the block for save. And now it’s on to round nine. MatthewĀ 
Joseph will shoot for the Blues. He scored earlier tonight. Joseph gets itĀ 
to the middle. Saved by Solder Bloom. Well, it’s got to end at some point. Felo now willĀ Ā  shoot for Chicago. We are we are deepĀ 
into the lineup here. So Nick Felino here in round nine with a lot of speed in on goal. Right padĀ 
save by Bennington. This is this is turning into quite the event here. the marathon betweenĀ 
the Blues and Blackhawks as Jordan Bennington follows this puck the whole way. And onceĀ 
again, a nice pad save. And now Radic Foxa, the blue shooter in round 10. Here he comes. FoxaĀ 
waiting and he scores. What a play by Fox. And the Blues with the lead in the shootout. A Foxy moveĀ 
by Fox. What a move by Radic Foxa coming in here on the angle showing shot. Sh shot. No. Pull it toĀ 
the backand and buries it. Looking pretty as ever. And now Bertusi must score for Chicago. Blues needĀ 
a save from Bennington. Bertusi in waiting. Save Bennington. Winner winner. Chicken dinner getĀ 
dinner. A 10 round win by the Blows. I mean, what a game here at Enterprise Center tonight. AndĀ 
he awaits the signal from the referee to pick up the puck at center ice. The left hand shot willĀ 
approach Lucas Doall off of right wing. Lucas way out off the post. No goal. The fans thought itĀ 
went in. I think it’s post and crossbar. Watch this. post crossbar and out. Boy, what a breakĀ 
for Dol Stall. So, Trevor Ziggress will lead off as the fans are just now seeing the overhead viewĀ 
on the big board above center ice at crypto.com. Trevor, for whatever reason, not that popularĀ 
here in Los Angeles. And he will not go too fast. This will give the fans plenty of timeĀ 
to boo him. Picks up the pace and scores. as he roofs it. His hands are just magic, lethal. HeĀ 
saw that Riddick was out far and that’s why he picks up speed. You know, he he looks at theĀ 
goalender, sees that he’s being aggressive, so he picks up speed, forces Riddick to retreat,Ā 
and there was room. Kevin Fiala has not been given the official okie dokie from the referee. AlmostĀ 
picked up the puck too soon. Now he approaches Doall right down the middle as he did last night.Ā 
Backhander off the post and the plumbing has been friendly to the Ducks in the shootout and theyĀ 
can win it right here if Carlson can find the back of the net. Quick move to the backand. HeĀ 
just tries to float it up into that top corner. So Leo with his second shootout attempt of theĀ 
season with the game on his stick. Swings in off the right side. Slows down and wins it. HisĀ 
patented move and the Ducks win it. Krypto in a shootout. It’s two to one. Yeah, that is Leo’sĀ 
favorite right there. So Carlson, we’ve seen it before. Backhand, forehand. took his time, but heĀ 
loves that move, doesn’t he? He sure does. Soon as he saw Riddick leaning to his left, he knew heĀ 
had him. And it’s going to be Pierre Luke Dubois. So he picks up the puck and he’s stopped by Vamela. Carral stayed with him the wholeĀ 
way. coming in wide to the right, snaking back to the middle. Looked like he triedĀ 
to go fivefold, but Vamela was on his angle the whole way. So, here’s Nick Schmaltz,Ā 
and he’ll bring it in on Logan Thompson. He scores. What a sweet move, Nick Schmaltz. AĀ 
smooth maneuver from Nick Schmaltz. Right side snake to the middle. Fake backhand. ThompsonĀ 
bites and put it in the attic of the net. Potress is in. He’s stopped by Vla. When aĀ 
goalender comes out to the top of the grease, there’s almost no net to look at. Here comesĀ 
Prous. Vamel way out and he parries that away with the blocker. Clayton Keller, he can endĀ 
it. Keller is in. He goes real wide and he set it over the top. The subtle little stop upĀ 
from Clayton trying to push Thompson deeper into his net to give him himself more net to look at.Ā 
looks to go glove side. Barely missed and Vamela with the opportunity here. Dylan Stro brings itĀ 
in. Third shooter. Stopped by Vamela. And that’s it. Game over. Three for three. A brick wall inĀ 
this shootout. And I didn’t know that Vamela in check translates to brick wall. Here comes Stro.Ā 
Quick little shift to the forehand trying to go under the glove. The game-winning goal from NickĀ 
Schmaltz. Quick fake brings it to the forehand. Gets elevation and Utah battles. Two for 11 inĀ 
his career in the shootout. Is Thomas moving to the middle sticking and Comry keeps it out.Ā 
[Applause] Comry stuck with him and extended the right leg. Thomas here with two shootoutĀ 
attempts against Comry. Comry drops the leg, follows him to that far post and makesĀ 
a good pat save. 12 for 29 in his career as Mark Shley coming in with speed. QuicklyĀ 
slowing down, shooting and it’s off the iron. You got all of that iron. Shley withĀ 
speed decides to slow it up and uses the shot tactic to the glove side ofĀ 
Hoer. Beat Hoer couldn’t beat the post. Pavl Buchavic first goal in 14 games for himĀ 
tonight. Moving in. Uses the DE and a good stop from Comry who read that well. similar tactic toĀ 
try and go to the blocker side and extend Comry the same as what Thomas did. And again, lookĀ 
at Comry at that great athletic ability. KicksĀ Ā  the right pad out. It’s Kyle Connor’s turn. NumberĀ 
81, Kyle Connor. 6 for 18 in his career. As Connor moves in, wrist shot. He scores. It’s the firstĀ 
goal of the shootout. Kyle Connor has it. Well, he does a great job here and I think if you’reĀ 
hoper, you think he’s going to drag it to theĀ Ā  back end, but instead opens up that blade and goesĀ 
to the top shelf on the blocker side. Braden Shen, the Blues captain, moving in. A lot of speedĀ 
going wide. It stays out. And there you have it. The Winnipeg Jets with a franchise recordĀ 
ninth straight victory. And Carry absolutely brilliant. gets a little help from the post onĀ 
this Shen opportunity who again tried to go to the blocker side to beat Comry. All three St.Ā 
Louis shooters went that way. Two of them stopped by the right pad. One of them stopped by the postĀ 
and the Jets win it. Chely starts things 12 for 30 in his career. 0 for one this year. Save madeĀ 
by Fedotov. Good job by Fedotov to maintain his gap and and not get retreating too quickly. WatchĀ 
where he ends up when this shot is taken. Right at the top of the blue. That’s really good stuffĀ 
right there. Nothing to shoot at. Travis Connecti who was two for 18 in his career coming into thisĀ 
year, but he’s three for six this year. He will deliberately move on in from the right wing andĀ 
he couldn’t get it past. try that little flip shot but just couldn’t get it done. That’s one of hisĀ 
patented moves on the shootout where he just kind of comes in slow, gets the goalie to move and thenĀ 
flips it over the glove. Just not able to elevate.Ā Ā  Maybe he was trying to go low there. MaybeĀ 
thinking that Helluck knows he likes to go high. He tried to go low and is one step ahead. KyleĀ 
Connor as you would expect dynamic on shootout. Seven for 19 almost 37% and is one for one thisĀ 
year. Here he goes. Save for Ivan showing poke check and I think Connor maybe it forced him toĀ 
do something he didn’t want to do. I think he sees the poke check and then he shoots trying to goĀ 
five hole but alertly gets down now one for four in his career this year. of course in shootouts.Ā 
So with a little more speed cuts to the middle and he scores. Oh my Beach, Silky and he gives theĀ 
Flyers the lead in the shootout. Oh, this is good stuff. Get in the middle of the ice and then bringĀ 
it back. Look at how far he brings this puck from his forehand to his backand. It’s going to moveĀ 
about 4 and 1/2 ft. Then he elevates. What a goal. Fires a save from a win. Now Dave Valardi for theĀ 
Jets has to score. He’s four for 14 in his career. Straight on in. Save. Fenottov and the FlyersĀ 
win the hockey game. They come into Winnipeg and knock off the top team in the NHL. 2-1 theĀ 
final. Foss off. He played so good through the 65 minutes and then you get to the shootout andĀ 
you have the opportunity to have your mark on the game by shutting the door and that’s exactly whatĀ 
Fedtov does there. Valardi the puck rolls off his stick but never mind that. The two saves priorĀ 
on Shely and Connor with Travis Green looking on. Dubois closes forehand deep stopped. VeryĀ 
well played by Lenus Olark as he tracks that the entire time. Dubois cuts out to the right side andĀ 
handles the puck. You can see how far is out as he pushes across, gets the pad down, the blockerĀ 
out. There’s nowhere to go for Pierre Loop unless he pulls it to the backand tries that old ForsberĀ 
play. Bath 0 for one this season in the shootout. Bath with speed to the backand glove save. LoganĀ 
Thompson. He looked like he borrowed Charlie Lindren’s glove on that one as Bathson bellies outĀ 
to the right. Comes in here and sneaks across and does the old backhander and there is that trapperĀ 
by I should say the glove of LT. Great work LT. John Carlson in his career four for 13 in theĀ 
shootout. Carlson with speed forehand carry. No five hole there. Stopped by Omar. John Carlson’sĀ 
got a head of steam here and he there’s looks like there’s a lot of five hole from the press box andĀ 
on that angle but he hits the pad on that one not so much with the save more like John Carlson justĀ 
missed his mark by about 5 in in the shootouts in the pasta one for one against Thompson snakingĀ 
his way to the cage fires another terrific glove save by Thompson LT’s in one if he can see it heĀ 
gets that glove out there. Great battle by him and Stoutla. Such a talented, speedy player. SoĀ 
decisive with that puck. LT tracks it the entire time. Stro 0 for three this season. Two for 11Ā 
in his career. Stro off the Dick. He scores. Dylan’s got the building rocking and as thisĀ 
one everyone in the last few shootouts withĀ Ā  the Capels, no one’s gone to the backhand playĀ 
and Dylan just with pis patience puts that one back. Sheru 0 for one this season. Must scoreĀ 
to keep the shootout going. Stopped by Thompson. Washington ends the three-game home ice losingĀ 
skid. Logan Thompson was absolutely spectacular in this game under siege on the power play. 2021Ā 
shots from the Ottawa Senators on that power play. And here went perfect in the shootout as JaruĀ 
comes down, bellies out to the right and just he plays big and he takes away everything. There’sĀ 
not a whole lot. He bet on five hole, gets that left knee down and pushes it outside. I love theĀ 
reaction. Mitch Martner starts the shootout for Toronto and scores. Makes the save as Martner’sĀ 
stick breaks and it must have been compromised before the shootout started. I can’t imagine whatĀ 
else could have happened there. So, a bad stick for Mner and he didn’t get a quality opportunity.Ā 
No. Here’s celebrating for the Sharks. Mlin attacking Stallards. And StolarsĀ 
makes the stop. I’m not sure if he made the stop when the puck just hit him there asĀ 
he stumbled and Mlin trying to come back theĀ Ā  other way. Maybe I should give Anthony a littleĀ 
bit more credit. Ah, he he kicked it up. Nope, he does. I thought he just fell. He made thatĀ 
save awkwardly, but made the save nonetheless. Next up, Austin Matthews forĀ 
Toronto against Alex Gorgv and Gorgv with the stop. Nice feet check. Well, you talked about a Randy already. AlexanderĀ 
Gorgv has played a very good hockey game, especially in the third period. VeryĀ 
calm and relaxed. Will Smith now to give the Sharks a lead in the shootout. [Applause] And Stallar stopped it. You’re kiddingĀ 
me. I thought he had him. I thought he snuck it underneath, but Stallar has made the save. HowĀ 
tall is he? 66, 6’5. Every inch of that frame of Anthony Stler’s really terrific patient. Oh,Ā 
look at him stretch. Oh, off the leg and up to the other leg. Oh my goodness. Here’s Kneelander.Ā 
Third round underway with speed scored. Other two guys came in slow. KnanderĀ 
who is their overtime guy yesterday in Pittsburgh right there gets that fiveĀ 
hole. comes in with a ton of speed. Pretty simple. And now Tyler TofoleyĀ 
must score to extend the shootout. To Foley against Stallar’s attackingĀ 
from the right, scores. And the Sharks are still alive here in Toronto. Look atĀ 
him. He’s just chirping at the bench going,Ā Ā  “Come on, boys. Let’s go. Let’s go.” This isĀ 
a veteran. veteran player slides one way and uses that shot. They send out a murderous row ofĀ 
shooters to make. Here’s Tabaris now. Round four and Gorgia makes the save there. AndĀ 
now the Sharks with a chance to win. Tvaris comes in again. Hey, thatĀ 
stick that stick by Alexander Gerv. Fabian Zetterland. If he scores, it’s over. Here’s Zetterland. Scores. The Sharks come into Toronto and take downĀ 
the first place Maple Leafs. They win it two to one as Fabian and Zetterland helps theĀ 
Sharks end an eightgame losing streak. This is why you watch from the bench. You watchĀ 
what the other guy did. Was he successful? Tyler Trafoley was by shooting the puck where?Ā 
Glove side. Fabian Zetan comes in the other way, but still shoots the puck glove side.Ā 
Kee will shoot first for LA. Adrien Kempe up the middle on Bington. HereĀ 
he comes and a save by Bennington. Jordan Bennington stays with AdrienĀ 
Kempe the whole way. Kempe, by the way,Ā Ā  one heck of a goal scorer for the Kings. He goesĀ 
backhand there. Then Jordan Bennington just with a nice little push. He makes it look easy, John,Ā 
which it isn’t. And Jake Neighbors, the first shooter for the Blues. He scored the firstĀ 
goal tonight. He goes wide on Keer. Neighbors in and he scores right through the legs of Keer.Ā 
Well, Jake Neighbors, he takes the same pattern, the same path every single time. And he’s gotĀ 
a couple of plays where he goes low blocker 54 or he’ll pull it backand based on what he’sĀ 
feeling when he gets in there and he snappedĀ Ā  that one home. So, the Blues lead by one. HereĀ 
comes more for the Kings and a right pass saved by Bennington. And now the Blues could win it withĀ 
a goal. Again, John, he’s just tracking the puck so well. He makes it look easy, which it isn’t.Ā 
It’s crazy how good he’s playing. And now Shen, the former LA firstrounder in ’09, could endĀ 
it for the Blues. And here comes the captain, Braden Shannan, waiting. And a post checkĀ 
by Keer. And we go to round three. And the Kings now must score here to keep it alive. TheĀ 
captain just got in a little too tight here when he wanted to make his move. That allowed KeerĀ 
to get the stick on the puck and disrupt him. And Kevin Tho, the shooter for LA. Here he comesĀ 
on Bennington quickly. He comes in and he scores. And the Kings tie it and the Blues haveĀ 
one more shot with a chance to win it. Kevin Fel is a great goal scorer. Comes in andĀ 
just snaps it up over the blocker. A really wellplaced shot by the Kings forward. Yeah,Ā 
that was a 10-point shot. Now Robert Thomas, the shooter for the Blues and he could endĀ 
it with a goal. Here comes Thomas in Wade. He shoots and he scores Thomas. Goodbye. GoodĀ 
night. Blues win in a shootout. Talk about being a clutch player right there. Robert ThomasĀ 
ends it for the Blues. They get the two points. Just a gritty effort by the entire team. AndĀ 
we’re ready to go. Scored earlier in the game. And Wall awaits him. Schwaltz with absolutely no speed. So he’sĀ 
just waiting for Joseph Wall to make the first move. and good good on wall having thatĀ 
patience. You have to remember here knander you’ve got a right-handed goalender here. SoĀ 
it’s a different mindset than coming in. HeĀ Ā  he likes to make that shot under the blockerĀ 
out but that’s now a glove on this side. So interesting to see if he gets a deaker orĀ 
a shot here. Scored the goal against SanĀ Ā  Jose. Looked like it might give the LeafsĀ 
a win in with speed and with the stop. I I like bringing the speed and why you’reĀ 
doing that is you’re forcing Vala to backĀ Ā  up and you try to get the timing to move himĀ 
laterally where you can open up the pads. He did a great job of keeping the stick down.Ā 
Well, here’s the 20-year-old Logan Culie. his first shoot out to tip. [Applause]Ā 
Mentioned he has scored twice against Wall in his young career. And Wall has another answer.Ā 
Really like the patience of Wall. You know, I I got to think that’s twice now. A slow gateĀ 
to come in. So no movement at all. But Wall, you see the difference. Vla had to back up.Ā 
Wall stood his ground and just moved laterally. Well, the captain had hisĀ 
chances in the third period. 13 of 38 in his career. He has speed and scores. That’s filthy for a goalender. He’s thinkingĀ 
a hard shot and maybe a move across. This is just a little change up. just gets Valka to justĀ 
bite a second. It ends up putting it underneath. You got to think the goalender is thinkingĀ 
this is coming firing off the stick. Instead,Ā Ā  it’s halfway and fooled. So, Clayton Keller hasĀ 
to score. The Leafs are going to leave with a win here. Keller 15% in shootouts. cuts back andĀ 
what a move. Turn inside out to keep Utah alive. That’s a good read by Keller. I said that WallĀ 
hasn’t bid on anything. So you fake that you’re going to shoot. Get the goalender to go down. He’sĀ 
got no movement going backwards. Excellent move. So it’s on the stick of Mitch Marter. and of 33.Ā 
One here for win and scores. Mitch Carter will send the Leafs home with a win here in a shootoutĀ 
against Utah. Got to tell you how difficult it is when you go to your forehand like he did thereĀ 
with not a whole lot of speed. It’s hard to getĀ Ā  that puck up. Coming in from the left side, fakedĀ 
it like he was going to go back. The pad was there from Vala, but watch at the last second. MNERĀ 
able to just pull it and elevate it about 15 inches off the ice. This last play there is how heĀ 
gets it up and in. That’s an excellent goal. Well, he’s been the talk of the town for the lastĀ 
24 hours. Had an assist for his 80th point and a gamewinner. Shootout deciding goal. AndĀ 
this is an interesting dynamic right now withĀ Ā  Zukarelloo having scored on a breakaway earlierĀ 
in the game. See if he goes to the same move or changes it up. Luke will open the shoot out andĀ 
he scores. This time he went stick side beats Blackwood and Minnesota has the early advantage.Ā 
Yeah, we’ve seen that before. That stick right there. He’ll hang on to the very last minute andĀ 
at the last second he just flicks his wrist and that one beats Blackwood five hole. The NorwegianĀ 
made that one look pretty easy. Here’s [Applause] M. And just denies the league’s leadingĀ 
scoreer. That’s as good as it gets right there. Gus holding his ground, stayingĀ 
patient. All kinds of stick movement, but no movement from Gus. tried to go quick overĀ 
top of the glove and just puck rolls up on Nathan McKinnon. Now it’s Matt Baldy for MinnesotaĀ 
assisted on their only goal of the game. Baldi moves in and scores and the Wild are aĀ 
save away from a shootout win. What a move by Matt Baldi faking like he’s going to shootĀ 
low blocker. Blackwood fights on the low blocker shot. Pulls it quickly to his backhand.Ā 
Has the whole net able to get it up over the pad of McKenzie Blackwood. [Applause] So it’sĀ 
naturous from Colorado. Augustus saved it for the Wild. Natures in. And Minnesota wins it.Ā 
The Avalanche 16 win streak this snap and the Wild inch two points closer to the Colorado inĀ 
the Central standings. What a game we witnessed here tonight. What an effort by the MinnesotaĀ 
Wild. Here’s Marty Nas with the game on hisĀ Ā  stick. Loses the handle on the puck. Very similarĀ 
to what we saw from Nathan McKinnon and the Wild pick up that extra point. Sharon Govich tryingĀ 
to find the separator in the shootout for the Flames. Caught him wide now back to the middle.Ā 
Delays diggs backhander robbed by Lanin. What great footwork by Lankin. You can see him withĀ 
his right foot just pushing ever so slightly to his left trying to make sure that he’s squareĀ 
to Sharon Govich. And then Sharon Govich can’t get it over the left pad and len it. Garland 40%Ā 
shootout accuracy in his career. wide again on Wolf now to the middle. Shoots, scores ConnorĀ 
Garlet and the Vancouver Conucks come back to beat the Calgary Flames in a shootout. Then let’sĀ 
take a look at the move by Connor Garland going to go wide. Looks up a couple times and then justĀ 
shoots glove side. Kind of freezes Dustin Wolf. Beautifully finished by Garland and the Canucks.Ā 
4-3 shootout victory. One more look at it. You can see Garland look up a couple of times rightĀ 
there. He knows what he has in mind and beats the Flames goalender. He’s in from the left wing.Ā 
Takes the shot and he didn’t score. It ran off both posts and stayed out. Boy, is he snake B.Ā 
Wow. Yeah, he goes the opposite way. Not down the right side, but down the left side. triesĀ 
to go against the grain and one rep three post post crossbar. Wow. Wow. You will never see thatĀ 
again this year. Yeah, that’s the definition of snake bitten right there. So now it’s Gensel forĀ 
the Lightning. They’re checking to make sure that that did not go in. That’s why they’re holding upĀ 
Gensel here. That’s a one for one this year. Nine for 24 in his career. Sam Harrison a six and threeĀ 
record in shootouts. Getel in digs in the glove. Save for Yeah, Sam takes a real patient approachĀ 
here. Some goalenders like to get way out and back in, but he stays relatively quiet while Gensel’sĀ 
winding up. And good read, good glove positioning there. Good save. Matt Feichkov will be next.Ā 
two for five as he moves in on Johansson who’s 0 and3 in shootouts in his career. HitchcockĀ 
scores and the Flyers lead in the shootout. One of the toughest saves to make on a left-handedĀ 
shooter is when he comes down the right side because that left hand stick sees the far sideĀ 
of the net. You got to respect glove side, but if you put it above the pad, below theĀ 
blocker, virtually unstoppable. Mechov the finish and the celebration with some fans on the glass.Ā 
Yeah, he loves to celebrate. Braden Point 0 for one this year but 18 for 41 in the square. In withĀ 
speed and he scores. He ties it back up. Wow. You don’t see players going with that kind of speedĀ 
very often. You don’t and it will it will messĀ Ā  you up as a goalender because guys typically takeĀ 
their time. So now here comes a guy with speed and he had his mind made up the whole way. He wasĀ 
going to go to that glove side. Here’s a field pick by John Torell. He goes with Bobby Brink.Ā 
One for five in his career, but having a hack ofĀ Ā  the night. Swerves in to the right wing deep andĀ 
I believe Johansson got a piece of it deflected wide. I wonder if Brink was trying to do the playĀ 
that connecting does and and he lost the puck and maybe had to improvise at that point right here.Ā 
He loses it right there or a little sooner. He lost it and yeah, you know, Hans gets it with theĀ 
glove. Victor Hedman, a defenseman. Yes, he’s 11 for 37. He also goes in with speed, but got aĀ 
piece to deny it. Well, he tried to go to that blocker side the way Beach did, but Harrison wasĀ 
on top of it. That left hand stick. No, Harrison all over gets that blocker low enough. ThatĀ 
blocker’s higher. That puck would go above the pass. Overtime now in the shootout. Sean CouturierĀ 
0 for two this year. And he goes deliberately sneaks. Couldn’t jab it at home. JohanssonĀ 
held his ground. Good patience by Johansson. He goes down at one point but then recovers withĀ 
with the right pad. That left skate able to catch an edge and able allows him to get over acrossĀ 
and make the right pad save. Agel a chance to winĀ Ā  the game. He’s 0 for two. And he goes deep save.Ā 
Harrison trying to go against the grain on him, but Harrison was there. Yeah, he tried to openĀ 
him up and go five hole, but Harrison able to get the stick down. Watch the stick of HarrisonĀ 
paddle down and that seals up the five hole. Great stuff there. Johansson had allowed eightĀ 
goals on 10 shootout shots coming into this game. But he’s looked pretty good so far. What’s theĀ 
practice? Here’s Owen Tippet. Two for eight in his career. Two for four this year. comes in fromĀ 
the left wing, fees and scores, fires heavily. Oh, it’s all about the pump fake for Owen Tippet here.Ā 
He gets Johansson to bite. And when he bites, he’s in trouble. Watch here. Pump fake out.Ā 
Look at how out of position Johansson wasĀ Ā  at that point. You got to sell the shot. TippenĀ 
certainly did there. Alra Burkstrand, a newcomer. He’s 6 for 23 in his career. In he goes the saveĀ 
and the Flyers win the hockey game. Oh, the Flyers needed this one here. You think about this homeĀ 
stand and how frustrating it’s been. Erison, who’s been so good at shootouts in his career,Ā 
comes through in a big moment. And we talked about him in the open as far as needing to elevate.Ā 
You get in a situation like this where you can be a difference maker. Erison certainly was at theĀ 
most important time. Tippet with the gamewinner in the shootout. Er with the game-winning save andĀ 
he’ll start us off here. Tage Thompson weaves his way in between the half. Marks off the post.Ā 
Chipped some paint but did not bend the twine. You see him just coming in slow, deliberate here.Ā 
He’s trying to get Eden Hill moving a little bitĀ Ā  and then as soon as he gets squared up backhandĀ 
to forehand the quick release and right off the outside of the post. Victor Olson 0 for one so farĀ 
in the shootout this year. Carries it in scores. Familiar quick release. He got off a stick inĀ 
a hurry once he decided to let it go. Yeah,Ā Ā  you got to know that Vick Rosson knows PekkaĀ 
Lucan in as well. So taking plenty of shots on him in practice and right there he’s able toĀ 
beat him on the glove side. Shooting second forĀ Ā  the Sabres. Number 22 Jack Quinn. Jack Quinn 0 forĀ 
one. Wants to change that. Quinn holds it. Scores. Nice patience there. The Savers get one hereĀ 
in the shootout. Ah, this is nice hands. that goes down left side and then heĀ 
goes to forehand and pulls it to theĀ Ā  backhand with a crit release. You seeĀ 
Hill going out and he’s got C moving to his left and we’re going to let theĀ 
crowd call this shot. You know who it is and you know Pekalukan just made the stop. GreatĀ 
call by Sabres fans at Kebe. Now Michael tries to come in slow here, but he’s going to reachĀ 
out. We always see this. He likes to reachĀ Ā  out and wrap it around the goalender.Ā 
But you see that left pad of Lucan and he pitched it right off to the post thereĀ 
and Michael not able to elevate it. Alex Tuck takes the puck at center to the rightĀ 
circle. Tuck works in, scores. What a move. Just some nice hands down low. Look atĀ 
the feet work. He just kind of throwsĀ Ā  the goender off. The stick and the feetĀ 
are going all different directions here. And Alex Tuck totally in control. GetsĀ 
us to a forehand and slides it underneathĀ Ā  the pad. Doraf Lucan in oneonone.Ā 
Dorv stopped by Lucin. Sabres win. The Sabres did not count themselves out andĀ 
they dig deep. Yep. Doria coming in here. He’s going to pull the backhand and he sees the fiveĀ 
hole. But you see just as he tries sliding fiveĀ Ā  hole right there that left pad bang down toĀ 
the ice traps that puck underneath. Excellent job. Savers say thank you to Tomas Hurdle whoĀ 
appeared to have an empty net goal on the end of his stick but he opts to pass instead. DallasĀ 
will shoot first and here comes Jason Robertson. He’s in. Scores. [Applause] Vasilei knew rightĀ 
away. Nothing fancy about this. He just beats Vassie down to getting down. Vassi doesn’tĀ 
protect the five hole with his stick enough. a tad late going down and Robertson whacks it inĀ 
there. Last time the Lightning won a shootout, this guy got the game deciding goal. It is JakeĀ 
Gensel trying to respond for Tampa Bay. Scores. Okay, you got a quick release. I’ve got a quickĀ 
release. Jake Gensel terrific. He doesn’t get in too close here. Look where he pulls the triggerĀ 
from. He’s not even at the second hash mark. He’s already decided what he wants toĀ 
do. Over the pad, under the glove. Round two. Matt Duchaine weaves his way in up theĀ 
middle. Scores. Same thing. Could work once, it can work twice. Matt Duchaine beatsĀ 
Vasalevki before he can get down. It’s It’s the release, of course. When youĀ 
release, Duchain’s got some good moves. Bassie’s ready to go either way, but doesn’t get down inĀ 
time. And here comes Point with speed straight ahead in stopped by Smith. A totally differentĀ 
tactic. Braden Point likes to use this. This is what he’s used to. He plays his game at highĀ 
speed. Why not do the same thing in a game? The five hole looked like it was open, but the SmithĀ 
wasn’t fooled. He was in good position. Big save. This place is on its feet for Wyatt Johnston whoĀ 
can win it right here. Johnston in on Bariski and he is stopped. Good job by Vassie there. YouĀ 
see how he went down a little quicker. Take away the five hole. You’re not going to beatĀ 
me again. Three in a row. So he’ll go downĀ Ā  but he keeps his glove up. There he is. He’sĀ 
down. Got the glove up. Nice save. And now it is up to Nikita Coutro to keep this game alive.Ā 
Cut off slowly in. He’s in onto Smith. Scores. Unreal. That’s his shot. I mean, heĀ 
he’s just really good at this one. High blocker. Maybe it went underĀ 
the blocker. Looked like it wasĀ Ā  high blocker at first. It was rising,Ā 
that’s for sure. Great shot, Branson. stopped by Vaselovski. Yeah, I think he missedĀ 
his shot. I don’t know if he changed his mind. He missed the five hole for sure and didn’t haveĀ 
it on the corner. Vassie was quick with that leftĀ Ā  leg. That one really didn’t have much of a chance.Ā 
Vassie out on the edge of the crease. And now with a chance to win it is Gage Gonzalez. Gonzalz inĀ 
onto Smith and he scores. Gage Gonzalez wins it for the Lightning in a shootout. Two huge pointsĀ 
for Tampa Bay against the Dallas Stars. As the season’s gone on, Gage Gonzalez’s confidence levelĀ 
has grown and grown. And that is a remarkable shot. Under pressure, they give it to the kid.Ā 
It doesn’t look like there’s much room. TheĀ Ā  Smith looked surprised that that one actually hadĀ 
some room there. Gonolves waits and waits. I don’t even know how he threaded that one through. BigĀ 
extra point for the Lightning in the win. Cfield picks it up, swings it to the near side, turns itĀ 
toward the net and the slot, looks and shoots it wide to the net. McKenzie Blackwood waited himĀ 
out. Did you see Blackwood just stay with the shooter who came out challenged and just frozeĀ 
Cole Coughfield. Look at how calm and composedĀ Ā  he is. Stays on his two feet, forces him to shootĀ 
wide. Charlie Coyle will be first for the Adams. Jerry Bendard must know something. Here comesĀ 
Coyle in as he works it through the top of theĀ Ā  circle. Looks down deep. Coyle a backhand flipĀ 
and he scores. Charlie Coyle. Beautiful move and a beautiful backhand flip. Top shelf. Holy po. SoftĀ 
hands to do this move with rough ice at the end of the game. Forehand backand think of beauty. StickĀ 
Suzuki this season. 0 for three in the shootout. Here comes the Montreal captain. Weaves inĀ 
down the blue line. Suzuki looking into the slot. Dusting it off. Back hand shot and a saveĀ 
by Blackwood. And so now the ABS can win it right here. Who will Jared Bor send out? What a job byĀ 
Blackwood to wait and wait and wait and watch the right legs. Good to be 6’4 and kick. Oh, whatĀ 
a save. Valuskin. It’s on his stick to win it. He’s the only one that’s besides now Coyle whoĀ 
scored a shootout goal this year. He picks it up at center ice. Nitushka looking down theĀ 
slot. Picks up a little speed and shoots itĀ Ā  wide to the net. Oh, that puck wouldn’t restĀ 
for him. He picked it up at the center line and he spent all the way to the top of theĀ 
circles just trying to flatten that puck andĀ Ā  then when he does he’s clearly going gloveĀ 
high. Just missed the shot. Here’s Patrick Lennick. One for two in the shootoutĀ 
this year. Blackwood makes the save. The ABS win. Lennick brings it down the slot.Ā 
Looks to the floor, back inside, and scores. That’s ridiculous talent. Mo, oneĀ 
of the most talented players in theĀ Ā  National Hockey League. Struggles to findĀ 
consistency, but to have a backhand shelf, watch where he starts the move. I mean, heĀ 
buries that under the bar from a foot outsideĀ Ā  the crease. Not many guys can do that. Here’sĀ 
the leading score in the National Hockey League, and Nathan McKinnon, he can win it. HeĀ 
gets the go-ahehead. McKinnon looks in down the slot. A couple of moves.Ā 
McKinnon shoots a save by Martin. That shot was there. I think he tried to putĀ 
that on the ice under the pad or maybe to go over the pad and somehow mock the ball. Watch theĀ 
right pad. just catches that puck. Oh, the glove. Caught it too. Nice save. Now it’s ChristianĀ 
D’vorak. Has not taken a shootout this season. Works it in. D’vorak backhand opportunity. No, aĀ 
forehanded is saved by Blackwood. Now the ABS can win it yet again. Blackwood’s doing a great jobĀ 
of holding patience, trying not to make that first move. And then once again, size and staying outĀ 
the front of his crease just stuffs D’vorak out. Brock Nelson can win it. Has a tally tonight. HereĀ 
comes Nelson in. Swings it way wide down the wing. Nelson looking down the slot. Shoots and scores.Ā 
Brock Nelson gets the ABS the extra point. They win in a shootout by a final score of five-4.Ā 
A rather difficult way to get there, but watch this. Patience. Patience. Hold. sees the cornerĀ 
and Brock Nelson that sweet release in great hands puts it right under the glove and over the pad. ItĀ 
was like Super Bowl in real time. Oh, back of the net. A win is a win is a win. Jared Bettar neverĀ 
looks. One of the best in the league this season. He’s three for four looking to get the PanthersĀ 
on top. Barov does it again. Oh, it’s just deadly. Boy, he came off that puck. It lookedĀ 
like he was going to slow down and thenĀ Ā  all a sudden he took off and then madeĀ 
that move. Brings it to his back hands, opens up Jarry’s legs and slips it in.Ā 
Ricard Raquel against Sergey Babski. Raquel goes all the way to the boards and thenĀ 
moves in. Oh, Sergey staying right with him. That’s just all reflexes. Look at how he justĀ 
kicks it out. Make sure Ricardi makes the first move and just stuffs them. Anton Landell two forĀ 
three this season looking to put the Panthers in charge. And on the back hand Oh, what aĀ 
save. Looked like Mundell may have had Yeah, just maybe just didn’t elevate that puck justĀ 
enough, but number eight. Give credit whereĀ Ā  credit is due. Jari just stuck with it right here.Ā 
Little offbalance, but then recovers by sticking out that glove hand. Look at these two Warriors,Ā 
both Stanley Cup champions. Crosby against Broski. Future Hall of Famers. One-on-one in theĀ 
shootout. Crosby stopped by Sergey Babroski. Reinhardt can end it right here. PanthersĀ 
going to be third shooter. Here’s Crosby. Slowed it down. It looked like he wasĀ 
trying to go five hole. Babroski made the save. Reinhardt. Two goals in the game.Ā 
Looking to finish it up for the first place Panthers. Everybody on their feet in AaronĀ 
Bank Arena. Reinhardt hit the crossbow. Wow. I don’t think we’ve seen that move beforeĀ 
by Reinhardt where he drifts over to the right side and then comes back in, drags it,Ā 
waits. Oh, he had beaten Jar cleanly, but put it off the crossfire. Babski hasĀ 
stopped eight of nine in shootouts this season, including tonight. If he stops Rust, theĀ 
Panthers get the extra point. Here’s Rust. And Babroski stops him. Let’s go home,Ā 
baby. The Panthers come from behind and pull it out. Sergey Babroski’s had thisĀ 
habit where he just says enough is enough. He gave up three goals and then he justĀ 
shut the door. The rest of regulation into overtime and then in the shootout asĀ 
well. Sergey Babroski sticks out that left leg and drags the right leg across making sureĀ 
that puck never went over the goal line. Oh, we’re going to be seeing this one, Randy, aboutĀ 
a hundred times over the next 24 hours. Two for two. That’s why he’s patting first. Here heĀ 
comes delaying and Demco had none of that. Yeah, Dempo there stared him down and Connor withĀ 
a good move. It’s a little too late to getĀ Ā  on the attack right there. He had it moving butĀ 
look at Demco stay with him. That was a toast. Jake De Brusk will lead it off for Vancouver. OneĀ 
for three this season. De Brusk with speed scores. What a bullet by Jake De Brusk and Muck strikeĀ 
first. I love the speed there brusk. He comes up the ice. He bellies out to the left there.Ā 
Left-handed shot. He picked that spot. You can see it there and he got it up in a hurry andĀ 
Marstrom says just a little too quick. A littleĀ Ā  late reaction for him. So Jasper Brat, he wasĀ 
0 for two in the shootout. He’s the facilitator with 61 assists. And he’s in the two-hole forĀ 
Sheldon Keith. Here he comes quickly. A tangle. Sick miss. You said it. Sick miss. AndĀ 
a full tool box there. And he went right to it with authority. He’s so strong on hisĀ 
edges. Strong hands. You can see him moving around. Everything’s shifting here. And then asĀ 
Demco bites on one, he takes him the other way.Ā Ā  And Deco did get a piece of it. Just notĀ 
enough. Is Garland. His D were just laughing, guys. Just missed he’s able to do that. OneĀ 
for two. He takes a wide route. Stare down and Marstrom gets a piece of it. SweepingĀ 
across. Yeah, Marstrom here. He walks in on the first move by Garland. The right-handedĀ 
chunk down the right side. A little patienceĀ Ā  there to freeze Bstrom and then a backhand. ButĀ 
that stick just gets it away. Almost chopped it out of the way there. Teemo Meyer. Two goals inĀ 
regulation. Teemo. One for one in the shootout. Listen to this crowd. Oh. That’s not the plan.Ā 
Here he comes. Denied by Demco. You wonder, Jody, if that threw him off. Did he have somethingĀ 
else in mind? Right. Because you lose the puckĀ Ā  like that as you’re coming down, maybe it changesĀ 
the course of everything. A little too casual on the pickup and then he really limited his space toĀ 
go to work. You know, by the time he got it back, he just had a tight angle. H Sudter 0 for one. TwoĀ 
goals in the game. Markstrom’s 0 for one in the shootout this season. Here comes the SwissbornĀ 
receiver. Great shot again by Jacob March soon here. He picks what he he picksĀ 
the blocker side as he comes down the right side. He locks it in rightĀ 
there and it’s a hard shot. JustĀ Ā  tries to feed him with a fast ball,Ā 
but Mark focus in his eyes there. Two goalenders at one time were teammates. TheyĀ 
have put on a wonderful show tonight. Luke Hughes, it’s your turn. He’s 0 for one this season inĀ 
the shootout. And Demco says no again. Good job by Demco here. He just he’s out at the edge of hisĀ 
crease. He reaches the speed of Hughes. See Hughes there not happy as he tries to go far side nowĀ 
after that little backhand play. Tries to beat him with that quickness, but Demco stays rightĀ 
there. You got to be thinking shot with Leeraki out here. We’ve talked about it all night. ThatĀ 
quick release. Maybe a similar move to Hughes,Ā Ā  but wouldn’t be surprised. Couple of stickĀ 
handles and a quick shot called See the Here. Leer Mackey. What a goal. Jonathan Leer Mackey.Ā 
Hey. Hey. What do you say? Vancouver gets it done. Vancouver. Boy, a hardfought effort as they cameĀ 
into New Jersey. They were down a couple timesĀ Ā  here tonight. They battled back. a goalenderĀ 
with some big saves here tonight for them. And how about this? Leaki, you said it, Hicks. He’sĀ 
going to shoot the puck. Boy, that was deceiving, wasn’t it? It looked like he was going to goĀ 
far side. Mark reaction says it all. He goesĀ Ā  short side. Yeah, we’re talking about a reallyĀ 
good goalender that wasn’t even close on that. And Anthony Duclair taking it wide, skates inĀ 
on goal, and he fumbles the puck. Doesn’t even get a shot off. Well, that’s frustrating forĀ 
him. Elvis says thanks. And now Kent Johnson steps on the ice with some of his wizardry. He’sĀ 
he’s he’s you never know what he’s going to do. I don’t know if he knows what he’s going to do, butĀ 
he makes plays that beat goenders. Ken Johnson. Johnson is three for four this season in theĀ 
shootout. Can he do it again against Sroen? Here he is. Stopped by Sroen this time. thoughtĀ 
he might make a move. He didn’t. He went and saw a spot he tried to hit. Sroen’s a goodsizedĀ 
goalender. Just waited it out. Waited out. Right-handed shot. The second shooter puts it IĀ 
maybe he was trying to go between the arm and the body. I’m not sure. And Palari now with a shot.Ā 
22% in his career. Kyle Paul Mary skates it down the middle. Stopped by Mleakens. Oh, he has beenĀ 
so good JD this season. Only one guy has scored on him in the shootout. Well, maybe it just takesĀ 
one then. And Adam Fantelli steps over the boards. He’s a shooter more than a deaker. So, we’llĀ 
see what happens. Fantelli one for five this season. Winding on in against Sroken. Makes hisĀ 
move. He is able to beat Sroen on the back hand. The puck got stuck in behind theĀ 
webbing there. I wasn’t sure it was in,Ā Ā  but the red light came on and he gets it done.Ā 
He’s a shooter this time. He uses the deak to the back hand and that is one nice finish.Ā 
Oh, there’s the puck stuck up high before itĀ Ā  dropped down. Here we go. Here’s LincolnĀ 
makes the save. The Blue Jackets win it. Paul Horvat makes the move. He misses high andĀ 
this one is over. They had to have it and they got it in the biggest win of the season. TheĀ 
Blue Jackets are victorious on Long Island. [Applause]Ā Ā  We apologize, but the Toronto MapĀ 
Police while we were in break the shootout started a little prematurelyĀ 
and William Knander has scored. Here’sĀ Ā  the first Shark shooter. It’s WillĀ 
Smith in on Joseph Wall and he scores. [Music]Ā Ā  The bench just got up and everybodyĀ 
went, “Whoa!” earlier. This is the first one. Beautiful backhand, butĀ 
Will Smith said, “Anything you can do,Ā Ā  I can do way better.” Now Austin MatthewsĀ 
as we begin round two in a 1-1 shootout. Matthews in on Gueorgv and Gorgv withĀ 
the save off the Toronto captain. Now Mlin Celerrini will be San Jose’s secondĀ Ā  shooter. And here’s CelerbriniĀ 
against Toronto’s Joseph Wall. and he scores. Celebrating that reason. [Music]Ā 
Patience, right? Patience makes the move, fakes that shot, holds on to it just that littleĀ 
split second longer and goes upstairs. And now Mitch Martner, one of the best in the businessĀ 
at the shootout, has to score here for Toronto. Martner takes it from center ice. Save by the Sharks win and they areĀ 
the most fun last place team you will ever see. Lead off shooter is KenĀ 
Johnson skates in and he takes it wide. It’s KJ in on goal. MakesĀ 
the move. He scores. A beauty. Full control the whole way here.Ā 
He sets the table by going wide.Ā Ā  Pulls Lankin into his Lincoln’sĀ 
right and then comes back across. Third shooter for Vancouver is Jake De Brust.Ā 
Pretty impressive. 36% in his career. Stares down at Elvis Mleakas. Oh, he’s got speed.Ā 
He is flying over the line. De Brass skates on in. Denied by Mers Leakens. Tried a littleĀ 
flip shot there. Try to get Elvis moving with that speed. Just a little See that littleĀ 
flip. Elvis just says get out of here. Adam Vanilli scoring that beautiful deak onĀ 
Monday night. The backhand to beat Ilia Sroen. Here he is against Lanken. VantilliĀ 
in. Makes the move. Stop. Getting a piece of it. Lank in and it remains one- nothingĀ 
in a shootout. Good quick hands from Adam Fantily. He’s in full control here. You see heĀ 
changes gears and then locked in on that one. Garland’s winding it up down in his own end. He isĀ 
41% like opening. The big wind up and it’s Garland against Murakens. And nurse Leakens makes theĀ 
save on the ister trying to go five hole there. Skated the full length of the ice andĀ 
he was a little ways out. Ash marksĀ Ā  tries to beat him in there in tightĀ 
but all he goes scores. Blue Jackets win. He’s two for three this season in theĀ 
shootout. Can he put it away for Columbus? Carl Marenko slowly winding his way in.Ā 
stopped by Lankinan. And now the Jackets need a save. Who are we going to see here?Ā 
It’s not Quint Hughes. It’s Leer Mackey. The rookie Jonathan Leer Mackey. OneĀ 
for one in his young career. This is only his 21st NHL game. Got a lot of skill.Ā 
Jackets get the save. They win the hockey game. Lucker Mackey skates in on goal.Ā 
Makes the move. Elvis verse and says no. Well, it’s a celebration here atĀ 
Columbus and it wasn’t perfect,Ā Ā  but they found a way again of back-to-Ā 
back games to get it done. And Elvis Merik outstanding in shootouts this year asĀ 
you mentioned. Only one goal against and none here tonight. Too much here. And Elvis isĀ 
no not biting at all in all those moves. Carter drives hard, digs, and scores. HowĀ 
sweet it is. Filthy miss from Paul Carter as he goes backhand, forehand,Ā 
backhand, back to the forehand, opens up the blade and chips it past Gustoen.Ā 
Matt Zukarelloo leads off for Minnesota. He’s one of the best at it for a long time. 4% in hisĀ 
career. Jacob Marstrom in goal for New Jersey. Zukarello patient, slow shoots and Marstrom saysĀ 
no. Well, that’s huge when you stop Zukarelloo who’s almost 50% Bill and he’s had a lot ofĀ 
shots and Marky stays with him, stays patient, makes a great pad save. Jasper Bratz scoredĀ 
a beauty in the shootout against Vancouver a little more than a week ago. He’ll look to putĀ 
the Devils in full control here in round two. Pratt cuts inside. Back hand. What does he do? He sticks it in and it’s twoĀ 
nothing. Oh, what a beautiful backhand shelf. And again, filthy mitts there. The little jukeĀ 
by Jesper Bat and gets Gust and Lean and puts it up top. Matt Baldi is a 57% shooter in theĀ 
shootout in his career. He needs to score. Jacob Marshmall can win it here for New Jersey.Ā 
Baldi in the slot shoots. He hits the crossbar and this time the two points go the Devil’sĀ 
way for good. Well, it’s just a terrific win and two filthy goals by Carter and Brad whereĀ 
the Devils haven’t had as much success in the shootout. Marky gets the job done as well. HugeĀ 
two points for the Devils. And on the tie and goal, it happened. But Baldi there, you see,Ā 
beautiful shot. And Mark, he fortunately says, “I had everything covered.” Organ Frost is oneĀ 
out of three in the shootout. First baseman, one huge point on the line. A stutterĀ 
step at the layer. A stop by Ridgeway. Lacrosse got a lot of little deepĀ 
on this first move and then heĀ Ā  tries to cut back. You see Wedgewood’s patient. So Ross Colton, shooter number one for Colorado. Now he knows a thing or two about pressure withĀ 
a Stanley clinching goal on his resume. Just wow. It was all speed and power here, Hicks.Ā 
Yeah, he he had his mind made up, right, Jody? Coming up. Watch him open the hipsĀ 
much like Morgan Frost does. That change ofĀ Ā  direction and the stick coming out by Varie.Ā 
The wedgie chant going on here. Jagor Sharon Govich. He can really He can really shoot theĀ 
puck. 0 for four this season in the shootout. Take a wide route and a goal. Oh, dandyĀ 
of a shot by Jagor Sharon Govich. Well, that was smooth by Sharon Govich. And youĀ 
mentioned the shot and right here it’s along theĀ Ā  ice. He gets good balance in the middle. He picksĀ 
his spot. A little patience and then a whip. Oh, right over the pad actually. Good shot there byĀ 
Sharon Goic. Coyle. Charlie Coyle. One for two. Stare down with Dan Ladar. Calgary up by one.Ā 
Calmly in his coil. Shut down by Vladar. How about the poise of Adar there, Jody of Dan Vladar justĀ 
coming in. He didn’t he didn’t flinch the entire time. His coils coming in. Yeah. The first saveĀ 
of the night for me on the car. This guy settled in early. Ladar. And here we go. Here we go. It’sĀ 
right. Jonathan Hoober. It’s been a great season. He’s had a great career. This is his best yearĀ 
as a Flame. Here he comes. The game on the line right now. Hubbero creeps in. Denied by Ridgewood.Ā 
Man, it looked like he had his spot picked early. While to the left is a left-handed shot. He’s getĀ 
back to the middle. Keep it on the five hole. Oh,Ā Ā  he tries to go along the ice there. HeĀ 
just missed his spot. Rich breaking up the choo choo train here in Denver. One forĀ 
two in the shootout. Here comes the big guy. Off the goal post. Calgary wins the shootout andĀ 
picks up a huge point in the standings. Incredible effort here by the Calgary Flames and Vadar keptĀ 
them in this game. These guys are something. Joel Hanley’s got the rally cap on right now.Ā 
The big foul. Nushka comes in. You talked about Var. I mean, when we talk about the CalgaryĀ 
Flames, we talked to them. Talk about Dustin Wolf automatically first breath. Dan Liddar is rightĀ 
included in that. Such a big part of this team.Ā Ā  And what a gutsy performance. Just backs againstĀ 
the wall. You needed to have it and you went out and found it. Point total. They will both add toĀ 
it here tonight. Who will get the extra point? Trevor Ziggress realizes the DucksĀ 
have to travel tomorrow, right? Hit the goal post. Almost unfair. I I keepĀ 
repeating when players move in that slowly, you move the puck around that quickly, you’ve got GorgĀ 
beaten, and it’s dead center on that goal post. Will Smith, the rookie out of AustinĀ 
College, the first shooter for the Sharks, spins the stick, picks up the disc, right handĀ 
shot, sweeps in off the left side, goes stall way out, and he steers it aside. This is justĀ 
being in the right spot for Lucas. Goenders, you have to time the retreat. You want toĀ 
be at the top of the blue paint when theĀ Ā  shot is released. That was perfect by DostĀ 
Stal. So Leo Carlson, we know his move, right? Does Alexander Gueorgv know his move?Ā 
Push to the forehand from in tight. Here comes Leo and Gueorg was wise to it. Got the rightĀ 
pad over there. Yep, he knew it was coming. [Applause] Mlin Celabbrini. TheĀ 
second shooter for the Sharks. The 18-year-old picks it up with speed. Left shotĀ 
swings in off the right side. Poke check by Gold. Good job by Lucas. Really patient. Really patient.Ā 
And at the right moment. Watch him extend the goal stick here. He’s going to push forward with it.Ā 
And that was enough. Whether he got the puckĀ Ā  or the stick of Celibbrini, it was enough. MasonĀ 
McTavish double digits in shots on goal tonight. He likes to go low glove and this is an importantĀ 
shot. He’ll slowly sweep in off the left side. Sneaks it under the left pad. WeĀ 
see Mason do this all the time in practice. He actually pulls it backĀ 
to the forehand and jams it throughĀ Ā  the five hole. Watch this quickĀ 
move and jams it. Quick hands. We see him do it in warm-up mostĀ 
nights. In the end of warm-up,Ā Ā  he and Lucas stall to a shooter and ZebrasĀ 
always go one-on-one. Now Tofoley needs to score to extend the shootout. fires it wideĀ 
and the Ducks prevail in a shootout tonight [Music] of a game. And we’ll see if he startsĀ 
looking off the right post as you said. That’s kind of a unique scenario for Wedgwood. What’sĀ 
he going to do? Not this time. And here we go. Donado picks it up. Winds down the left wingĀ 
slowly through the top of the circle. Looks down the slot. Donado hits move. Backhand shotĀ 
at the side of the cage. Wedgewood waited him out beautifully. That’s the patience goalendersĀ 
have to have. You have to sit and wait and wait. You want the forward to make the first move. AndĀ 
actually Wedgewood bit on that quick little move, but Donado could not get the back end whereĀ 
he wanted. Brock Nelson one for two in theĀ Ā  shootout this year. Here he goes. Nelson picksĀ 
that one up. Looks in at Spencer Knight. Walks toward the slot. holds and shoots and a saveĀ 
by Knight of the Walker. And that looked veryĀ Ā  comfortable for Spencer Knights. Brock Nelson hasĀ 
such great hands and patience. He comes in, tries to outweight Spencer Knight. He wants to pullĀ 
him over and slide that up on the blocker. KnightĀ Ā  does not take the bait. Beautiful blocker save.Ā 
Here comes Connor Bard, one for three this year. The outstanding sophomore comes in littleĀ 
speed. Shoots it off the iron. Wow. He held that out. 71 goals his last year of juniorĀ 
hockey. Back-to-back 20 goal seasons. Holds it out there. Hoping to kind of phase WedgwitĀ 
by it. Comes back and hits the post. McKinnonĀ Ā  is 0 for three this year. He’s so do. Here comesĀ 
the AB superstar center. Slowly looking into the forehead. He looks McKinnon. Holds. McKinnon sendsĀ 
it in past the skate of Spencer Knight. Gives the ABS the lead. And now Wedgewood with a saveĀ 
can win it. I think there were 39 stick handles coming in. McKinnon such great hands. Back,Ā 
fourth, over, left, right, and just outreaches him to the post. What a goal by McKinnon.Ā 
Terrain is three for three this year. He’s the third shooter to keep it alive for Chicago.Ā 
Terrain looks down the slot, shoots, and scores. Well, you can see the finesse in the hands ofĀ 
Terrain. This guy can get it done. Back forth comes in just looking for a hole. Goes down early.Ā 
Carvina makes him pay. Artory Luckin can win it. He has not taken a shootout opportunity this year.Ā 
And here he goes. Luck in through the circle, looks down the slot, shoots and scores. ArtyĀ 
Linen, wins it in a shootout and the ABS beat the Chicago Blackhawks by a final score of three-2Ā 
as they come back in period number three and the third shooter rips it past Knight. LechinanĀ 
gets it done. Well, this might get him off the Schneider. Hasn’t scored in 10. Makes that lookĀ 
way too easy. He just kind of sees the top corner. Knight can’t get the glove up there and this is aĀ 
great feelgood comeback for the Avalanche. Perfect shot. Taage from left to right has the puckĀ 
at center in the black and red jerseys. 72 up the middle dig. Samuel Henson got a piece of thatĀ 
one. And now James Rhymer who’s been stellar for the Sabres again in this game. It’ll be his turnĀ 
to step up. Yeah, Tad’s coming in there. He goes backhand to forehand. Then once again trying toĀ 
get it up and over the glove of Jansen and just just catches the top of itĀ 
and it’ll deflect up and over. Jakeel 66 plus% into the Buffalo zone. FiresĀ 
rubber makes the stop. Shot coming from the circle off to his left. Yeah, Gansel lookingĀ 
to go five hole here on this one. He sees it open at the last second. You see how quickĀ 
James shut that up. Kind of baited a littleĀ Ā  bit standing up. baits him and then bang, rightĀ 
down and shut it quickly. Jack Quinn. All right, Jack Quinn’s been shooting the puck reallyĀ 
well lately and when it comes to shootouts,Ā Ā  this guy’s got some moves. Let’s seeĀ 
what he’s got for Johansson here to the right circle. Quinn cuts to theĀ 
middle, holds it, fires, scores. Lightning off of that stick from Jack Quinn andĀ 
the Sabres get the first in the shootout. He comes down this side, so it’s on his forehand. He cutsĀ 
in the middle and then as soon as he turns hisĀ Ā  body right there, he can put everything into it.Ā 
And you see how much of the look at the left side of the net. Hansen didn’t track that acrossĀ 
very well. He left that whole left side wideĀ Ā  open. Braden Point, he’s been speed all night.Ā 
Right up the middle. Ryder with the stop again. Braden Point, he’s come flying down throughĀ 
the middle there. He came right at James RymerĀ Ā  as fast as he could try to catch him. And thatĀ 
glove once again. Right place, right time. Alex Tuck’s got a chance to win it right here in theĀ 
shootout. Sabres with a goal so far. Rhymer stop both. Alex Tuck against Johansson. Tuck to the farĀ 
circle. Walks in. Deak scores. [Music] [Applause] Dorv will open it up here with the firstĀ 
shot. The Russian winger, 24 years young, a team leading 33 goals this season againstĀ 
Wedgewood. Dorafia is stopped by Wedgewood. Dorafia tries to go five hole. Wedgewood is ableĀ Ā  to get his legs closed quick enough andĀ 
to hold it. And here comes Brock Nelson. Nelson’s got a long reach. Is able to move theĀ 
puck side to side. Well, lights to Dee. At 6’4, Brock Nelson maneuvers in. Nelson is stoppedĀ 
by Schmid. Wow. Schmid is look so confident in there as both players decide to shoot. DoravĀ 
and Brock Nelson. Nelson comes from the left wing and he wants to go under the gloveĀ 
of Schmid. He doesn’t get it all the wayĀ Ā  over there. That’s a good pad stop. And nowĀ 
Victor Olivesson signed a one-year deal for just a little more than a million dollars.Ā 
Bruce Cassidy has been telling him recentlyĀ Ā  to shoot more. He’s got his chance here inĀ 
the shootout. Olivesson stopped by Wedgewood and the goalie’s got to hold his ground, notĀ 
make the first move and read the release point as Victor Olison comes in from the right and wantsĀ 
to go over Wedgewood’s pad and under the blocker. But Olison is able to make the deliveryĀ 
of the shot. Blocker stop. Well done by Wedgewood. And then the crowd activatesĀ 
once they saw 29 come over the boards. Nate McKinnon on the move againstĀ 
Akira Schmid. McKinnon off the iron. You know, talking about the release point thatĀ 
the goalie is trying to read. McKinnon startsĀ Ā  to move the puck quickly. Where does theĀ 
release point come from? And you can see he beats Shme Schmidt with it. Schmidt doesn’tĀ 
react in time, but it hits the post. And with Michael and Hurdle out of the lineup, here’sĀ 
Shay Theodore. Shay Theodore will step up to go third for Vegas. [Applause] Shay TheodoreĀ 
stick handling and he is stopped by Wedgewood. Scott Wedgewood has been massive down the stretch.Ā 
That attempt was muddied when the puck started to roll right about here. Look, the puck’s neverĀ 
flat. Whoops. Now you can’t do anything with it but try to deep. Wedgeworth makes the save.Ā 
And here’s Charlie Coyle with a chance toĀ Ā  win it. Ton of experience in shootouts in hisĀ 
career. The deadline acquisition from Boston. Charlie Coyle. Coyle scores to win the shootoutĀ 
for the ABS. [Music] [Applause] [Music] At the end, Wedgewood outdo SchmidĀ 
in the shootout. Six shooters, just one goal. The last shooter, Charlie Coyle. And he sticks this up in the top cornerĀ 
for an Avalanche win here at home. He had two assists on their goals in regulation.Ā 
And now he decides the shootout with this. When he gets to the forehand, he’s now got SchmidtĀ 
deep in the crease. So the way the only way you’re going to beat him is up high. You’re notĀ 
going to beat him down low. And Schmidt’s a bigĀ Ā  guy and can cover the bottom. Look at theĀ 
delivery of this puck. It’s perfect. Coil off the back bar and in. And it’s a 32Ā 
Avalanche win. number 80. Has had four attempts this season in the skills. ScoredĀ 
once. Moves in right side, holds and scores. A good start. Yeah, perfectly accurate. You’veĀ 
got to have accuracy against big goalenders, especially butterflyers. That one rifled over theĀ 
right pad and under the blocker. Very difficult to stop that as a goal. Jackson Blake, three goalsĀ 
in two games against Washington. Getting back to eight days ago in the first cuts in on LindredĀ 
and a glove stop by number 79. It looked like Charlie knew that was coming because that clubĀ 
was cocked and ready to make that stop. I mean, Blake was trying to go top corner, but CharlieĀ 
had the answer. Look at the catching glove.Ā Ā  Look at the positioning. AbsolutelyĀ 
beautiful. Carlson trying to give his team a real leg up in the skills. CarlsonĀ 
goes to the forehand and cannot get it by Anderson. Ran out of room on that last deepĀ 
to his forehand. Was too tight to the paint, too tight for the goal line. Here’s the fake.Ā 
There’s the draw that allows the big pad to come across for Frederick Anderson. Carlson nowĀ 
0 for three on the season in the shootout. And Carolina will turn to Henry Fchnikov looking toĀ 
get it level here in the last of the second round. Dancing east west middle shooting wide nowĀ 
trying to take care of business in the third round and Dylan Stro will try to take care of itĀ 
and get the win for Washington. had a tough season when it comes to scoring goals. That shot just aĀ 
little bit wide trying to go over that left hand with a game on his stick. Vanst standing. StroĀ 
catches up. Looks backand stops by Anderson. And it’ll need one more stop at the other end fromĀ 
Charlie Lingren. Really good fake pair by Dylan, but didn’t draw Anderson out enough. Look at theĀ 
room above the right pad right there, but he was too tight to elevate that puck up into the topĀ 
floor. Sean Walker, he’s got a wicked shot on his stick. Just five on the season, but good againstĀ 
the Caps. Walker in shooting and it’s off late and the Capitals have clinched the Eastern ConferenceĀ 
with a shootout win over Carolina. And another 50 win season for the guys in the red. That is aĀ 
very difficult task and the Caps have done it this year. A turnaround game for Washington against aĀ 
very tough opponent in Carolina. The fans stayed to the bitter end. They love their boys and theyĀ 
love this two points tonight. The sixth time to 50 wins in Capitals history as you look at Walker’sĀ 
last chance. Yep. And he knew it. It looked like he was biting on that to go bluff side. LingrenĀ 
already had it there off his pad under his and the shootout is underway. Schwaltz brings it in on hisĀ 
backand and he is stopped by Sorrowos. Schwaltz almost fumbled the puck. It looked like he’sĀ 
coming in slow there but great patience by SorosĀ Ā  and and they scout they prescout every shooter onĀ 
the opposition team. Ben Batterclaw gives Soros an on and an iPad. So you can see some tendencies.Ā 
He tried to just wrap it around and then quicklyĀ Ā  get it up and over Sorrowos’s arm. He stayed upĀ 
and lifted the arm. Good patience there by Jussi Sorrowos. First up for the Predators is the factorĀ 
Ryan O’Reilly. He gave Nashville a 3-2 lead in theĀ Ā  third. Here he comes against Carell Velca. Save.Ā 
Vela snared it with the glove. Just tried to come out wide, bring it to the middle, and thenĀ 
catch Vamela with a quick shot. But Vamela, you talk about the patience. He matches SorrowosĀ 
there. Glove in good position. A lot of times the goal you’re going to drop your glove the closerĀ 
a player gets in. The Milka did a good job andĀ Ā  that’s again he catches with the opposite hand.Ā 
So keep that in mind. It’s a different optic for the shooters coming in. Now the young captainĀ 
Clayton Keller the speedster. He’ll come inĀ Ā  for the opposite side of Schmaltz. He’ll bringĀ 
it to the forehand. Save by Soros. Completely outweighed him. Complete good patience there.Ā 
When Keller’s coming across the middle like that, he’s trying to get Sorrowos to bite. He’s tryingĀ 
to get him to go down or flinch. He doesn’tĀ Ā  flinch. He stays all the way. Keller runs out ofĀ 
room. Sorrowos made it look easy. Now the wy vet. Steven Stamos in round two for the Pred. StamposĀ 
stopped by Vlo. The job is a right hand shot. You see a lot of lefties, they go the low blocker,Ā 
over the pad, under the glove. Stampos is tryingĀ Ā  to do that on Vulca here. He’s not trying to goĀ 
five hole. Valka timed that perfectly. Didn’t bite. Stayed patient. Bam. Right down. CoverĀ 
the hole. We will go to round three. A deafening level of crowd noise. Dylan Gunther stoppedĀ 
again. Jussi Sorrowos three for three. Man, the ability of both of these goalies right now notĀ 
to bite and and Gther was trying to Gunther wasĀ Ā  trying to get him with a quick hand. He’s goingĀ 
to take it to the backand forehand really quick and then get it short side, but Sorrowos staysĀ 
up gets the blocker on it. That was a good shot, but a better save by Sorrowos. Philip Forsber aĀ 
chance to be the villain to win it. He scores. The sorcerer quiets the crowd.Ā 
Nashville wins the shootout. back-to back overtime victories. What aĀ 
performance by Jussi Sorrowos. He faced 40 shots. He stopped all three in the shootout andĀ 
Forsber puts it into this one. I mean that that was that was a great game. That was just all inĀ 
all just an incredible hockey game. The effort. Watch Forsber’s quick hands here. Quick littleĀ 
stick handle. Power backhand and elevation. He lifts it. He gets Vamela to fall forward. He’s gotĀ 
the whole net. He’s three for eight this year andĀ Ā  five for 26 in his career. Let’s see if he doesĀ 
that chip shot over the glove. He’ll swing wide right and come on in and he tried to go five holeĀ 
but Iberg knocked it down. Times connecting likes to go high glove. Oh, you’re right. It was fiveĀ 
hole. I feel like he was maybe trying to do that and didn’t get it up but still a good save thereĀ 
by Hogburn. So now Borvat connect his second cousin. He’s one for four this year. 32% for hisĀ 
career. Going to go in with some speed. Save. Watch Eri’s positioning when he shootsĀ 
this puck. Look where he is. Top of theĀ Ā  blue. I mean that that is as textbook asĀ 
it can be when a guy is coming in that fast to be that patient. All right. Matt FeovĀ 
three for six. Crowd excited to see what he has up his sleeve here in from the rightĀ 
side and no sir. Hogberg held his ground trying to go a little low blocker. Hogberg getsĀ 
a piece of it very much like he did in that first period. Same type of save. So now Max Ziplov 0Ā 
for one in his brief career in the NHL. Deaks. Oh, Harrison got the bat across. It did not go.Ā 
Siplov thought he had him. He sold shot. Got Harrison to bite, but Harrison’s flexibilityĀ 
wins out in the end. Tyson Forester now. B. He’s got two on the game. He’ll try the shootout.Ā 
0 for one this year. one for seven in his career. Again from the right side save Hogberg ForesterĀ 
Hogberg’s a big body and I’m sure these guys don’t see a lot of net coming in. They’re tryingĀ 
to go 5 on him. There was something there. That that left pad was not all the way down, butĀ 
the stick was able to keep it up. Holstrom aĀ Ā  chance to give the Islanders the win. He’s twoĀ 
for five in his career. One for one this year. swerves on in and he couldn’t get itĀ 
through. Harrison got enough to make the save. Flexing that left leg a little bit.Ā 
He hurt himself. Sam hurt himself on that play. Owen Tippet. Watch Maro as he as he getsĀ 
up. Something tweaked. He’s hanging in there though. Meanwhile, Owen Tippet goes to workĀ 
at the other end. Three for five this year. Tippet with a dink and the backhander is deniedĀ 
by Hogbird. I think Tippet has him here if he’s able to elevate this backhand. He just can’tĀ 
get the puck over the pad. He’s got a lot of daylight upstairs. If he’s just able to elevate,Ā 
this will tell us more right there. Just get itĀ Ā  up and you have a chance. Local product TonyĀ 
D’Angelo tries to end it and give the Islanders the victory. And he goes save with authorityĀ 
with a glove. Well, clearly Er’s not hurting that bad. He looked like he got up slow afterĀ 
the last attempt by Holmstrom. This one here, beautiful glove positioning. Nice grab there byĀ 
Er. Bobby Brink in round five is one for six for his career. 0 for two this year. BrinkĀ 
taking his time going in and he scores. Well, Brink is able to get Hogberg to move back inĀ 
the blue paint. When he does that, it opens up the blocker side. And look at how deep Hogberg is. TheĀ 
patience by Brink. And then even though he’s a big body, there’s still some net to see and he buriesĀ 
it to the blocker side. I playoff hopes rely Kyle Pal has to score to keep the game going. In heĀ 
goes. Palmary stopped by Harrison. The Flyers win the game and the Islanders playoff hopes areĀ 
dashed. Sam Harrison once again phenomenal in the shootout and the Flyers move to five and one underĀ 
Brad Shaw. The deciding goal of those five wins against Look at it. And Juan Dell beats him clean.Ā 
He does his markoff in pressure to start the shootout. Well, he likes to come in on the rightĀ 
side. does Anton Lendell left-handed shot and then he just sets himself and I think Lucinan maybeĀ 
had lost his angle there and that far side was open but what an accurate shot by Lendell Sweet.Ā 
Here’s Quinn. He’s two for three this season. He’s good in these shootouts. Vanichek stays with himĀ 
and the Panthers have a one- nothing lead after round one. Yeah, just one too many moves I thinkĀ 
and Quinn decide to go back to the forehand. Look at the concentration there on Banichek. He leavesĀ 
the top part of the net open but a missed shot. Evan Rodriguez one for one this season. LookingĀ 
to give the Panthers a big leg up. Rodriguez. Oh, that’s a good save by Lukan. He played that well,Ā 
the big body and he just covered the bottom of the net. Here’s Rodriguez. Makes the move. goes backĀ 
to the forehand. Just there’s no no room unless he flipped it over that pad. Jurka, he’s the oneĀ 
that scored to get the game tied in the third. Two for three on the season against VanachekĀ 
and VTEC is there again. Couple of chances coming up to win it. Yeah, I’m not quite sureĀ 
about Purkas. He slowed it right down and then watch how he takes off here and shoots fromĀ 
the angle. All right, Panthers can win it. And look who it is. The rookie Mackie SamoskevichĀ 
has had such a good season. Big anticipation. Everybody on their feet. Here’s Mackey.Ā 
Couldn’t put it home on the back hand. Oh, he had that puck. I don’t know if it it went up onĀ 
end, but he had the upper part of the net there.Ā Ā  He made a nifty move. Went to that back hand. KeepĀ 
an eye right here. There’s plenty of room. Oh, I don’t know if Lucan got a piece of it orĀ 
not. Well, interesting they tamed Tuck forĀ Ā  last because if Sam scored, he never would haveĀ 
had a chance. Tuck is four for five on the season. Vanachek trying to come up big. Let’s go home,Ā 
baby. Vtech Vanichek slams the door for the win. Vanichek has owned the Buffalo Sabres and itĀ 
took all the way through overtime and then the shootout and he goes three for three on theĀ 
Buffalo Shooters. 31st of the season earlier in the game. Tied the game at three. He will get usĀ 
going here in the shootout. And if you’ve just joined us, the Winnipeg Jets with one pointĀ 
that they’ve gained here after regulation, they have clinched the Central Division andĀ 
the top seed in the Western Conference. So, here comes Ryan Donado coming in wide, slowingĀ 
down, making a move, but that one wide of the net. Well, so much of what we’ve seen in the shootoutĀ 
here in the National Hockey League is getting toĀ Ā  that dot, slowing down, trying to pull a goalieĀ 
from one side to the other. Donado does that, but Hellabuk’s so big he doesn’t have farĀ 
to move to get to the far post. First for the Jets. It’s Mark Shley. Shifley movesĀ 
in, slows down, the shot off the iron. Spencer is so calm and so good at stayingĀ 
square in these situations. break downĀ Ā  Broadway for Shley. He had this opportunityĀ 
earlier. A little bit of a piece off of Knight. The rest of it off the bar. AndĀ 
here is the Chicago Blackhawks superstar Connor Badard. Bedard moves in, gainsĀ 
speed, puts on the brakes, and he scores. First goal of the shoot. It goes to ConnorĀ 
Bernard and his Blackhawks. comes in with aĀ Ā  ton of speed and then slows it rightĀ 
down and looking for that opening to beat Halleach down low and is ableĀ 
to beat him on that golf side low. Looking to return fire for the Jets. KyleĀ 
Connor 7 for 20 in his career. He walks in, scores. Kyle Connor goes top chef shelfĀ 
on the left side and ties the shoot up. just looks so easy for Connor. This isĀ 
unbelievable. He pulls Knight to the middle of the net and just flicks it up over thatĀ 
blocker shoulder with perfect perfect accuracy. Tavo Terrain, third on the team in pointsĀ 
this season. Terrain and moves in with speed backand and he couldn’t put it upstairs. SoĀ 
tough to outlast Halabuk. And when you do, he still covers a large part of the net as TavanaĀ 
goes to the backand. There’s no room to put that puck in. Here’s Cole Perfetti. [Applause]Ā 
First career shootout attempt. Beautiful move and he scores. Cole Perfetti wins itĀ 
for the Winnipeg Jets. Final score here, five- four. Well, that was nifty. He lookedĀ 
like he was going to shoot it. Pulled itĀ Ā  back. Nope. And then waited a little delay.Ā 
Opens up the five hole and this thing is over. And you can put it in the win column. ForĀ 
the first time in Winnipeg’s NHL history,Ā Ā  the Jets have clinched the Central DivisionĀ 
and will finish the season as the top seed in the Western Conference. their attempt to get toĀ 
the postseason. They’re as close as you can get. Bennington staring down shooter number one.Ā 
It’s Ellie Tolvin. He’ll take a wide route. Stare down the goalender and hit the markĀ 
beautifully. What a goal by Ellie Tolvin. Excellent job selling the backhand. getsĀ 
Bennington to bite. Quick move back to the fore end. Able to elevate that one up, but anĀ 
excellent move. Patience there. Jake NeighborsĀ Ā  is shooter number one for St. Louis. He’llĀ 
go wide two and score right along the ice by Grubower to tie it off center forehand.Ā 
One little backhand stick handle and then just fires a dart along the ice. The captainĀ 
in the two-hole for Dan Bilesmouth’s Jordan Everly moving in on Bennington. A stutterĀ 
step, a deak and a shut down by Bennington. Well, Everly had a couple of fakes thereĀ 
trying to get Bennington to go down andĀ Ā  bite on it. He stays strong, keeps the gloveĀ 
out and cuts out that angle. Robert Thomas, who extended his point streak to 11 games tonight.Ā 
He’ll move in. Clank it off the goal post. Yes, it did. Yes, it did. It crossedĀ 
the goal line and back of Grubower. Capo Ko is the hope for the Kraken as he picks upĀ Ā  the puck at center. BenningtonĀ 
out to attack. Ko gets it done. I like the change. He comes in withĀ 
a little bit of speed going straightĀ Ā  through right above the pad and blocker onĀ 
the left side there. An excellent shot. The captain of the St. Louis Blues, Braden ShenĀ 
moves in quickly. Clankton off the plumbing. Groovy out on top of the blue paint is beaten butĀ 
not off the post. Remember both goals scored by the Krakens so far in the shootout have beenĀ 
to the stick side of Jordan Bennington. Okay, Beners, the high priest of headĀ 
fakes is denied there by Bennington. You see that the head fake moving it aroundĀ 
trying to pull it back to the backhand andĀ Ā  Bington stays just down long enoughĀ 
to get the glove out and gets a piece of that one. Zack Bulldook the rookie withĀ 
speed. He slows down. Kicked out by Gower. Beautiful save there by Grooby. Love hisĀ 
positioning. Not a lot to shoot at. How about it, Mr. Rightight? Is he? We’ll see. ShaneĀ 
Wright turned away by Bennington. Alzo, he listened to you on that one trying to pullĀ 
the puck in. Change the angle going towardsĀ Ā  that stick side of Bennington. See it go offĀ 
the stick and get a good look. Pavl Bhnavic in. What a move and stop by Gau. Oh, tremendous. Forced him as wide as possible.Ā 
No angle. Right. Here comes Jared McCann. Just wide. Remember both goals JT for the Kraken two were like deaks.Ā 
They weren’t shots. They were fakes. Get lateral and then elevate the puck. Round number six willĀ 
continue with Jordan Cyro. Cyro quickly in wide. Life goes on. might get to nineĀ 
innings here tonight. We might leading goal scorer shooting. What wasĀ 
that? Six. Yeah, this is seven. Top of the seventh. Chandler Stevenson swoopsĀ 
in on Bennington. He scores. [Music] Oh, the way Stevie comes in wide, nonchalant.Ā Ā  give an opportunity. Make me think he’s goingĀ 
to pull that backand. Nope. Stick side JT again. Seventh inning stretch. The rookieĀ 
Jimmy Snugaroon looking at Philip Gower. And Grubower says no. That’s Kraken Hockey,Ā 
baby. It’s a 43 win over the St. Louis Blues. Cfield Cfield up first. Round one. Shoot out. Cole Cfield in on SolderĀ 
Bloom and he makes the save. Trying to go five hole. Shut down with a stick. Good stickĀ 
position in there by Solder Bloom. A lotĀ Ā  of times the goalender when moving that thatĀ 
heel of the stick maybe gets off the ice and I think that’s what Cole was waiting for here.Ā 
But great patience and obviously technique shown by Arvin Solderblown. Another strong performanceĀ 
in net for him. Frank Nazar has been flying. He has a goal in the game. Up first for the HawksĀ 
in the shootout on Montbo. Got it back. Makes a move and scores on the backhand. Lots it for aĀ 
second. Recovered in time. Goes upstairs and draws first blood in the shootout. Nobody can find theĀ 
puck right there. What a play after he loses it. Maybe that changed his mind a little bitĀ 
too cuz his momentum was going one side andĀ Ā  that that fools the goalie. The goalieĀ 
leans and he makes a great backhander. Round two. Patrick L against Solder BloomĀ 
as Lane works in glove save. Sold snags that one. Thanks for coming. Give theĀ 
old glove and take it away just likeĀ Ā  that against a guy that can really fire it.Ā 
And you can see that curve of the stick of L and doesn’t go up high enough. Goender’sĀ 
glove is right there with a good save. And that’s Brian Gallagher. He’s over at theĀ 
talking to the referee at the penalty box.Ā Ā  Are they still debating whether or not thatĀ 
Nazar puck was in the net or not? Remember, they never found the puck. I bet that’sĀ 
what it is. Look at Monal is still looking underneath and he’s looking for the puck.Ā 
Okay. A long discussion. The referees are Shiron and Graham Skiler. Let’s take aĀ 
look. There’s the lost control forehand. Oh, it’s in. Oh, it’s in for sure. It’sĀ Ā  in. It just got lodged up. There’sĀ 
going to be a shot in that. Yeah. Yeah. There it is right there. Yeah, you can seeĀ 
it. Check behind the potted plant. There you go,Ā Ā  boys. There you go. Oh, yeah.Ā 
Easter Bunny hit that one good. [Applause] I can never hide the eggs that well for the kids.Ā Ā  Seem to always find them. I don’tĀ 
know how that happens. All right, mystery solved. Carolina’s got a chance to winĀ 
it. They’re checking if it was offside. Just Caroline’s going to have to do some squatĀ 
thrust to get his blood going again. All right, here we go. Chance to win it for Tavo TerivineĀ 
in a round two of the shootout in Al Montto. Put it high on the backhand. That’s up into theĀ 
netting. And the shootout continues. That one did not go in. The old forehand forehand backhand.Ā 
Forehand shimmy shake. Forehand high hoister. Suzuki. Dick Suzuki. That’s theĀ 
score. Sonner win it with a save. Montreal captain zigzagging in way wide. Here’sĀ 
Suzuki off the post off the back of Solder and it stays out. No goal. And the Hawks winĀ 
in a shootout. 4-3 your final. Isn’t that great? Look at the reaction of these boysĀ 
on the ice celebrated. Great stuff right there after Slapovski tied it on the power playĀ 
late. Threeon three. Had many chances both ways. And Arbert Solderblum gets the W in net withĀ 
that backhander going off the post. It came up high and it landed on his back and to the side.Ā 
That close. Solder Bloom stops all three and the Hawks win. They sweep the season series. Here’sĀ 
that chance. Watch the post on the right side of your screen. Fake the shot right there. ThisĀ 
a beautiful move. Beautiful move. And there,Ā Ā  I mean, it had the opportunity to go off theĀ 
pad and in the net. And that was that would be a goal. Referee was right behind. And that’s howĀ 
close it is. Wow. For the Montreal Canadians to secure a playoff birth or to fight another day.Ā 
Pad post. And then right in between his pad and his thigh there, Pangers, he was down on hisĀ 
knees. Element of surprise. Sherangovic one for five this season. He comes in on Samsonov.Ā 
Waits, shoots, blocker, stop blow by Samsonov. Well, he’s trying to slow downĀ 
right here, Sharon Govich,Ā Ā  and see if anything opens up. And he did have farĀ 
side. Just missed the shot. Oh, Olivesson. Okay, Victor. Victor Olivesson moving in on WolfĀ 
forehand. Wolf gone up. It was either Wolf the blocker or the post crossbar. Olson doesĀ 
a nice job here slowing down and then in tight elevating. Yeah. Goes off the crossbar. CornadoĀ 
looking for his first shootout goal this season. comes in wide on Samson Coronado off the post. Had him beat and rings the iron. So three ofĀ Ā  the the three shooters actually had aĀ 
spot. They just couldn’t beat the iron. Strangely, Dorafia 0 for five this season inĀ 
the shootout. FS himself and Wolf stays with him. Wow. For a guy that confident, as youĀ 
mentioned, he ran out of room pretty quickly. It looked as though he was really undecided andĀ 
barely even got a shot off. [Music] Morgan Frost has a goal tonight. Looking for oneĀ 
in the shootout. Frost puts on theĀ Ā  brakes. two scores and a little after the bat. Let’s take a look at Samsonov on this play. FrostĀ 
puts on the brakes right here and Samov gets just a tiny bit deep in his net if you ask me andĀ 
maybe loses net just a hair. St. The 0 for two back and the still celebrating 54 the shootout finish right toĀ 
the bitter end in the game and on the season. And the Flames continue toĀ 
play for one another and their fans. And you’re allowed a little bit of luck.Ā 
Pegasus hit the post twice on Golf inĀ Ā  the shootout and that’s okay. That’s partĀ 
of the game. Well victory for the Flames. Just love the way in which this team never givesĀ 
up. Flames playoff hopes dashed in game 81, but not their spirit. [Applause] What a groupĀ 
full of determination and what a future.
