Player of the Game: Blades goaltender Makarov made some fantastic saves early in the game while his teammates found their game legs following their long layoff. He stopped 30-of-33 shots in the loss.
“Makarov was outstanding,” Blades head coach Lorne Molleken said. “If it wasn’t for him in that first period, the game would have been a lot different as it went on. He’s a world class goaltender and he gave us that opportunity tonight.”
“He’s our backbone to our team and he was the reason why he kept us in the game,” Nicholls said. “It should have been 5-1 in the first but he made four huge saves for us.”
