Puck is dropped. Leonard-Duhaime-McMichael and Roy-Chychrun get the start.
Nice opportunity for Sourdif, but he misses with his backhanded shot near the net.
Acrobatic save by Merzlikins to stop Rasmus Sandin at the post.
Jakob Chychrun scores his 7th goal of the season, beating Elvis Merzlikins from the left circle. He’s on pace to score 25 goals this season.
