    First Period:

    Riveters Penalty – 13:33 – Jenny Ryan 2 minutes for Tripping

    Whitecaps Goal – 18:13 – Chelsey Rosenthal (1) from Amy Schlagel

    Riveters Goal – 19:08 – Madison Packer (1) from Michelle Picard

    Hits               00                  00

    PP                 0/1                 0/0

     

    Analysis:

    This game started off slow and a little sloppy for both teams as they went through a feeling out process, but as the game progressed both teams settled in and started generating good scoring chances for each other.

     

    Need to Do:

    Riveters – The Riveters need to do a better job of setting up in the Whitecaps zone, and creating some better scoring opportunities. Also the Riveters need to make some better and cleaner passes.

     

    Whitecaps – The Whitecaps did a great job of getting passes to their points to get shots on goal and will need to continue to do that.

     

    Second Period:

    Riveters Penalty – 3:23 – Kiira Dosdall 2 minutes for Tripping

    Whitecaps Goal – 12:31 – Amy Menke (1) from Jonna Curtis

    Riveters Goal – 17:46 – Madison Packer (2) from unassisted

    Whitecaps Goal – 19:04 – Meaghan Pezon (1) from Kalli Funk

     

    End of 2nd – MIN – 3        MET – 2

    Shots               23                  14

    Faceoffs          23                  13

    Hits                 00                  00

    PP                   0/2                  0/0

     

    Analysis:

    This was a much better period for both teams. The passing was much crisper and some of the better scoring opportunities were generated for both teams. The Riveters were also much more efficient with their overall game, but the Whitecaps were the much better zone team.

     

    Need to Do:

    Riveters – The Riveters played a much better 2nd period and responded well when the went down 2-1, but they need to do much better in the faceoff circle. Faceoff wins will help with possession.

     

    Whitecaps – The Whitecaps also had a much better period, and were able to take the momentum back with the late goal for the 3-2 lead. The Whitecaps need to keep pushing the pressure in the Riveters zone.

     

    Third Period:

    Riveters Goal – 2:33 – Audra Richards (1) from Kelsey Koelzer

    Whitecaps – 9:32 – Hannah Brandt (3) from Lee Stecklein

    Whitecaps Penalty – 10:38 – Allie Thunstrom 2 mins for Hooking

    Whitecaps ENG – 19:41 – Jonna Curtis (1) from Hannah Brandt

     

    End of 3rd – MIN – 5         MET – 3

    Shots              22                   27

    Faceoffs        31                    18

    Hits               00                     00

    PP                 0/2                    0/1

     

    Analysis:

    This was a fun game to watch. The first perood was a little sloppy for both teams, but with the 2nd period, the game tightened up and both teams started to play much better. The Whitecaps were clearly the better in the faceoff circle, but the Riveters took the shot advatage. Both teams responded well when the other scored, but it would be the Whitecaps getting the empty netter to clinch this one.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, these are your news and notes for Wednesday, October 17th, 2018.

     

    There were eight contests in the NHL yesterday…

    • Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers went on to defeat the Winnipeg Jets 5-4 in overtime.Connor McDavid scored twice in the contest and in doing so, McDavid continued a streak of attributing to all of the Oilers goals thus far on the season. McDavid became the first player in NHL history to record a point on all nine of the team’s goals to begin the season. The NHL record for most points by a player at any point is 15, a mark set by Jaromir Jagr in the 1999-2000 season.
    • Kyle Palmieri would score for New Jersey and became the first player in League history to score the opening goal for his team in four straight games to open up the season. Only one player has started off with five and that mark belongs to Johnny Bucyk during the 1965-66 season.

      New Jersey would go on to win the contest 3-0 over the Dallas Stars.

      Keith Kinkaid would go on to register 24 saves to lead the Devils to a 4-0-0 record on the season thus far. This is the fourth time in franchise history that the Devils have won at least their first four games to start off the season. The last time they started off 4-0-0 was during the 1995-96 season.

    • Vegas Golden Knights G Marc-Andre Fleury won his 407th game to move into a tie for tenth place with Glenn Hall on the all-time list for wins by a goaltender.

    • Sebastian Aho and the Carolina Hurricanes fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2. Aho extended his point-scoring streak to seven games and became the sixth player to record at least a point in each of the team’s first seven games to begin a season.
