The lone goal scored in the first period was a point shot Albany's Nicholas Blanchard at the 14:35 mark. The period was not void of physicality however, with 2 fights taking place. In bout number one Chris McAllister got the decision over Wade Brookbank in a short lived tilt.The second fight on the card was Louis Robitaille and Mike Angelidis,this one was a bit longer with Robitaille getting the better of Angelidis in the punches landed column,I'm not claiming any of Louis' punches did any damage.
Albany got on the board just 5:47 into the second period when Mike Angelidis roofed a shot over the outstrecthced arm of Freddie Cassivi.Assists went to Nicholas Blanchard and Tim Conboy. During the second frame the Rats were handed 4 consecutive powerplays. The first two the BEARS PK held them shotless.The final two powerplays of the period carried over to the third.The Bears were held to only 6 shots during the period,none of which resulted in a quality scoring chance.
The BEARS were able to succesfully kill the two carry over powerplays to begin the 3rd period.Albany was only able to muster 4 shots on their 4 consecutive extra man chances.Despite the momentum that came with killing off the extended 5-on-3,the BEARS were unable to produce any scoring chances and thus any goals.The BEARS pulled Freddie Cassivi with 1:58 remaining in the third period for the extra attacker. The BEARS were able to mount some pressure but nothing was able to get past the Rats netminder in the final few seconds. Rats goaltender Michael Leighton has run his consecutive shutout streak to 2 games.
FINAL SCORE:
RATS-2
BEARS-0
