A torrent of goals and joy for the local fans in the games that were played in Newark and Seattle. Both Devils and Kraken were looking to boost their chances in the tie in their home opener in the second round and they sure did.
Comfortable victories in both stadiums in which they did not let their rivals smell even close to the victory in this third match of the series.
Festival of the Newarks this time they were more precise and did not allow themselves to be overwhelmed by the shock and pressure of the Caneswho once again had one of those games outside the PNC Arena that are beginning to be a house brand and ended it with a defeat in their locker.
And it is that both teams put their hustling and fast hockey on the icebut they were only the Devils who scored the goalsand that meant that already in the first period, the local advantage was a comfortable 3-0.
Carolina left the locker room with the intention of cutting that advantage and put pressure on their rivals, but Nico Hischier already in the first minute of play, scored again to try to quell the visiting rebellion attemptbut only the goals from Aho, answered by Severson and from Martinook in a penalty shot after being hooked on a counterattack generated by a robbery in inferiority, did not serve to get them into the game, the lead at the end of the second period, at 5-2, was still three goals that still seemed like an abyss to the Raleighs.
Pyotr Kochetkov I was leaving for Andersen looking for a boost, but the Russian goalkeeper who has taken a big step forward this season, couldn’t stop the Devils’ onslaught, and these came to put 7-2. They tried to scare the southerners with two almost consecutive goals, but not only was the gap wide, the Devils’ game was superior and soon Ondrej Palat He marked the eighth for the locals, reminding them that today was their day and that the game would go up to their marker.
Seattle has parked any kind of fear and he goes out to each game as if there were no tomorrow and savoring the opportunity that is being presented to him in these playoff in which he debuts in 2023. With a victory in Dallas in his locker, in their first home game in this round they came out on top for the game, although the Texans endured the downpour in that first period that closed without goals on the scoreboard.
But everything changed at the start of the second half, the puck reached Jordan Eberle after hitting the face Miro Heiskanen that he was lying on the ice and managed to beat Oettinger. The Finnish defense would not return to the ice and Seattle from that moment on would pass over the defense of the Stars and of Jake Oettinger. A hemorrhage of goals that Peter DeBoer from the bench he was unable to cut, four more goals from the Kraken to which he could only respond with one Mason Marchment, the game was already decided with still a period to play.
And in case it was not clear, Seattle, which began the period in inferiority, scored again through Yanni Gourde that beat no longer Jake Oettinger What would I see that period from the bench if not Scott Wedgewood who came out to cover the goal in the last third.
The game was let go and the final goals by Hakanpaa and Schultz for Dallas and Seattle only served to increase the personal statistics of the scorers and assistants.
