The Game
There weren’t too many positives from this one. Everett allowed two short-handed goals and was never really in the game as it fell 4-1 to visiting Tri-City Wednesday.
This, of course, is the same Tri-City team that fell 5-0 at Xfinity Arena a week ago.
Did anything change?
“Certainly nothing changes strategy-wise,” Everett head coach Kevin Constantine said. “The only thing that ever changes in athletes is your head. Everything else stays pretty constant. There are times when you get fatigued in this business and times when you get sore in this business, but the thing that always determines your plays is how you think the game.”
Brycen Martin played well in his debut after coming over from Saskatoon. He certainly had a lot to go over after practicing just once with his new team.
“I probably had a good couple hours of video,” he said. “I had a lot to cover in a short amount of time and they were pretty lenient with it… I just tried to go out there and play, and I felt like I had a pretty good game.”
Carter Hart was pulled for just the fourth time this season after Everett went down 4-0 in the third. The good news is that backup Mario Petit saved all four shots in relief.
The Turning Point
Already leading 2-0, the Americans turned a two-on-one breakaway into a short-handed goal that put them up 3-0 and end fantasies of a Silvertip comeback.
