Mike McKenna Beastly, Stopping 44 in Relief as Texas Beats Ontario 5-4 in 2OT

If you had to pick a player to finish a double overtime game, you probably wouldn't pick tonight's hero: rookie fourth liner Samuel Laberge. Ninety-seven minutes into Game 3, Laberge finished a quick play going the opposite way after Mike McKenna made one of his best saves of the night. McKenna was perfect, stopping all 44 shots he faced, after coming in to relieve Landon Bow in the second. It was a gargantuan effort and shows why he went to the Calder Cup Final last year with Syracuse.

Tonight's was the longest game in team history at 97:38 and also the first time Texas had won a game that extended beyond a single overtime.
