Headlines
Celebrini Breaks Ankles and Hearts: Macklin Celebrini puts on a clinic, notching the tying goal and serving the OTs on a silver platter!
Fiala Fires Back, But Defense Takes the Night Off: Kevin Fiala's power play blast couldn’t disguise that nobody showed up to actually block shots tonight.
Kuemper’s Nightmare Continues: Darcy Kuemper gets worked like a speed bag, puck-riddled and cross-eyed by Eklund in the clutch.
Special Teams or Special Mess? Five—yes, FIVE—power play goals! Someone tell the PK coaches to clock in next time.
Hollywood Ending Denied: Alex Laferriere looked like he’d walk off with the winner, but Eklund and Celebrini turned the script into pure heartbreak.
