Their last game in Shenzhen was one of their best, but the Markham Thunder couldn’t beat Noora Räty and that made all the difference.
Whatever kept Liz Knox out of uniform in the previous game, it wasn’t affecting her any today as she put up an excellent 27 save performance. It was enough to earn her third star of the game, but not enough for the win.
This was a slower game again, more on pace with the weekend’s two games than Wednesday’s. The Thunder had trouble keeping possession in the early going, including during their first power play of the game.
