In game one, the Panthers players played a little too aggressive after allowing the first Knight goal at 14:48 in the first period by getting four penalties before Calvin struck again in the second. Captain
Aiden Dion cut the lead in half at 9:34 in period two with
Chance Bradley and
Elijah Klco on the assist.
In the beginning of game two, the Panthers could not find a rhythm. The Knights held the puck for the majority of the first and second periods with Davenport having trouble being able to get into the Calvin zone with many neutral zone turnovers.
Elijah Klco however was able to take advantage of an interference penalty and scored his first power play goal of the season with 9:56 remaining in the first period.
Goaltenders
Shaid Shearer and
Thomas Near split games over the weekend for Davenport with a combined save percentage of 0.951 stopping 74 out of 78 total shots.
