The game between the Kamloops Blazers and the Peterborough Petes is currently being shown on RDS2 and RDS.ca.
Summary: Blazers 7 – Petes 1 (2nd period)
The Memorial Cup continues in British Columbia, where the host team, the Kamloops Blazers, take on the OHL champions, the Peterborough Petes tonight.
Both teams are desperate for a win following losing their first round robin game.
Kamloops thought they had opened the scoring in the opening minutes of the game, when Matthew Seminoff pushed a bouncing puck into the net. The referees, however, ruled that Logan Stankoven interfered with the work of goaltender Michael Simpson by colliding with him, leaving the score at zero everywhere.
But it was only a postponement since almost immediately, Ryan Michael’s wrist shot through traffic was deflected by a Petes defender to lead 1-0.
Fraser Minten doubled the power play lead 4 minutes later. Left completely alone to the right of the goalkeeper, he accepted the pass from Ryan Hofer who came out with the puck from a battle along the boards.
The Blazers have obviously recovered well from their loss two days ago once morest the Quebec Remparts since they added some more. After a fine passing game with Jakub Demek, Shea Van Olm got back into the slot and the disc deflected off Ashton Ferster’s leg to make it 3-0.
The Blazers picked up where they left off coming back from intermission and took just 35 seconds to make it 4-0. After seeing his first goal overturned in the first period, Seminoff recovered on the attack at five.
Dylan Sydor extended the Petes’ torment, but ended that of goalkeeper Simpson, who gave way to Liam Sztuska in front of the cage.
It didn’t create a spark for the Petes. Even Stankoven took the opportunity to finally unlock by scoring a first goal in eight games, bringing the score to 6-0 in his hometown. CHL MVP in 2021-2022, he had previously amassed 10 goals in eight games before experiencing a slump.
Not even made halfway through the match, the Blazers chained a seventh goal without reply thanks to a different seventh scorer in Jakub Demek, a third on the massive attack.
Avery Hayes scored the lone goal for the Petes, 4:26 remaining in the second period.
The Petes lost 6-3 to the WHL champion Seattle Thunderbirds on Saturday. Montreal Canadiens prospect Owen Beck scored in the loss, as did JR Avon and Avery Hayes.
Kyle Crnkovic had a hat trick for the Thunderbirds, while Jordan Gustafson (Golden Knights), Lucas Ciona (Flames) and Nolan Allan (Blackhawks) were the others who managed to beat Michael Simpson, who was bombarded with 39 shots .
The Blazers lost their flag 8-3 to the Quebec Remparts on Friday. They were unable to stop QMJHL MVP and Columbus Blue Jackets prospect James Malatesta, who scored a hat trick, while forward Kassim Gaudet scored twice.
New York Islanders prospect Daylan Kufler had a goal and an assist for the Blazers, while Matthew Seminoff (Stars) and Caedan Bankier (Wild) also scored.
