Yo, 50 assists and an 11 hit game? I'll take it!

Not often a team goes from winning the cup to missing the playoffs. Tough break for Prague.

Helsinki makes it, Prague doesn't

Game Recap: Game 576 - Prague vs. Chicago

With their playoff lives on the line, the defending champion Prague Phantoms came into Chicago to wrap up a somewhat disappointing regular season, but hopefully punching their ticket to a chance to redeem themselves in the playoffs. Their desperation showed through early on, as they outshot the Phoenix 23-4 in the first period and took a 2-0 lead on goals by Nikolas Kauppi (his 32nd) and John Jameson (his 46th). Although they kept their foot on the gas possession-wise, a couple of defensive slip-ups in the early part of the second frame saw Chicago strike right back. First, it was Dank Turtle's 13th of the season that cut the lead in half and then, 50 seconds later, Scotty Sundin's 49th of the year that knotted it up. With one period separating the Phantoms from heartbreak, they continued to push hard but Ryan Artyomov (who finished with 52 saves) stood his ground. The Phoenix capitalized on a powerplay opportunity approaching the midway point on a goal by PJ Daniels, before another untimely Prague penalty resulted in an insurance goal from Sigma Freud, set up by Scotty Sundin picking up his third point of the night. The Phoenix shut the door from there and completed a 4-2 victory, with Sundin and Artyomov being named the first and third stars of the game, respectively (the second star went to Prague's Jameson).
