The Abbotsford Canucks lost 3-1 to the Ontario Reign in Game 1 of their second-round series.
Despite a strong effort, the Abbotsford Canucks fell 3-1 to the Ontario Reign in Game 1 of their second-round series. Max Sasson provided the only goal, while Zach Sawchenko made 18 saves in the loss. As this is a five-game series, the Canucks will need to find a way to win Game 2, to avoid a potential elimination game when the series switches to Abbotsford.
One of the big positives from this game was the Canucks penalty kill. Abbotsford went a perfect four for four when down a man, allowing only four shots. So far this postseason, the Canucks have gone 13 for 15 on the penalty kill but lead the AHL in times shorthanded.
Abbotsford will have a few days off as Game 2 is scheduled for Sunday. Despite being the higher seed, Ontario elected to host the first two games and will look to leave California up 2-0. Game time is set for 3:00 pm PT from Toyota Arena in Ontario.
