Game 17

Riga Reign vs. HC Davos Dynamo

 

The European rivals met for the first time in S87 in their third game of the season. The first period was uneventful with Davos outshooting Riga 17-7 but the Reign’s Henry Tucker Jr @NSG and the Dynamo’s rookie Lachlan Summers @kirbithan stopped every shot they faced. Things opened up in the second period starting with Davos sophomore forward Alfred Champagne @Anthique scoring on the power play at 13:04. Less then a minute and a half later, Pete Mitchell @Crstats23 added another to give Davos a 2-0 lead. A minute later, another sophomore responded for Riga as everyone’s favorite French man, The Frenchman @OrbitingDeath , scored his first of the season. Veteran Mason Jones @Masu Chan regained the two-goal lead for Davos with 70 seconds left in the period. The Davos onslaught continued in the third period with Dynamo S86 leading scorer James Teekirque @Mongoose87 sliding his first goal past Tucker Jr early in the frame as Davos would pour another 20 shots on net. Both goalies were brilliant with Tucker Jr stopping 43-of-47 in the loss for Riga and Summers stopping all but one of 27 shots for his first VHL win. Davos defenders Jake Thunder @Thunder and Siyan Yasilievich @badcolethetitan each had two helpers.
