Goals and assists
Mac Carruth logged a 27-shot shutout and Zach O'Brien scored two
goals as Cardiff Devils came away from Coventry with a 3-0 win over the
Blaze.
Entering the game as the teams placed third and first
respectively, it was an exciting opening period that ended without goals
at the Skydome. The Devils came closest with a shot hitting the post of
Mat Robson's net.
2:27 into period two, with Terrance Amorosa in
the box, the Devils thought they'd taken the lead - however, the goal
was reviewed to see if it has entered the net via a kicking motion and
ruled out after the officials had checked the video.
The deadlock
was eventually broken 11 seconds before the end of the middle session.
Zach O'Brien neatly slotted home from Cole Sanford's pass to put the
Devils ahead after the blaze had failed to clear their zone.
Reid
Duke beautifully took an Evan Mosey pass and beat Robson on the
breakaway 2:47 into period three to put the Devils up by a pair. Any
hopes the hosts had of a comeback were all-but extinguished by O'Brien's
second of the game, cutting into the slot from below the goal line to
beat Robson in front.
