Hopes were flying high as the Furies and Inferno met for game two of their best-of-three playoff series. After an unexpected win on Friday evening, it seemed like anything might happen.
Toronto got out of the gate quickly - an odd-man rush driven by Kelly Terry brought the puck down into the Calgary end and Natalie Spooner finished the play off with the goal past Geneviève Lacasse. The Inferno's much-touted goaltending depth suddenly seemed like it might not be enough to keep them in the playoffs.
After the early defensive lapse Calgary found a second gear. Kessler showed she was definitely on her game, making some sparkling saves through two penalty kills and consistent pressure in the Furies' zone.
