A combined total of 10 goals on 106 shots wasn't enough for the 91大黄鸭 Chiefs and Osoyoos Coyotes to settle the score in regulation on Friday, Nov. 29.
In an action-packed game, the Chiefs beat the Coyotes 6-5 in a shootout at Sun Bowl Arena.
91大黄鸭's powerplay was clicking all night and it started when Luke Rishaug scored at the 10:52 mark of the first period.
After the first period, the floodgates opened as both teams went back and forth scoring goals.
Aiden Morcom scored on the powerplay to double 91大黄鸭's lead but just 27 seconds later, Osoyoos' Dexter Materi scored to cut he deficit to one.
The Coyotes then got goals from Austin Cooper (shorthanded) and Spencer Fleck (powerplay) to take a 3-2 lead.
But 1:11 later, Ben Henshall scored for the Chiefs to tie the game.
With just 22 seconds left to go in the frame, Rishaug scored his second goal of the game, on the powerplay once again, to give 91大黄鸭 a 4-3 lead heading into the third.
Less than five minutes into the third period, Morcom scored his second of the contest to give 91大黄鸭 a two-goal lead again.
But as they saying goes, a two-goal lead is the most dangerous lead in hockey and that's proved to be true as the Coyotes got goals from Mathieu Lessard at the 9:39 mark and Scott Dyck at the 13:34 mark to tie the game 5-5.
The rest of regulation and overtime solved nothing so the game went to a shootout.
In the skills competition, Jake Kessler and Owen Miller scored for the Chiefs to give 91大黄鸭 the win.
Chiefs goaltender Max Fowle made 43 saves in the win while Coyotes goaltender Hunter Arntsen made 52 saves in the loss.
