Goal Recap
A high-sticking penalty by Akim Aliu in the first few minutes of the game led to the first goal of the night. Right as time ran out on the penalty, Jake Chelios fired from the blue line to give the Checkers the early lead.
With four minutes left in the first period, the Checkers set up a screen which blocked Thiessen's vision to the point where he didn't even know where the puck was after Dennis Robertson fired it into the net.
