Jr. Blues Beat Chicago 2-1 with Late Goal!
 
The Chicago Force scored the only goal of the first period in a poorly played stanza for the Jr. Blues as they were outshot 14-12.   The second period was much better as the Jr. Blues dominated with a 17-3 shot advantage but could only muster one goal.  The goal was a power play goal that started behind the Jr. Blues net.  CJ Jung carried the puck up ice and hit Chris Hutton who carried into the offensive zone.  Hutton then hit Zach Hamilton who put a quick shot on goal and then pounced on his own rebound for the goal.  The Jr. Blues missed many opportunities in the third including Phil Blackwood ringing a snipe off the crossbar but the game remained tied.  With 31 seconds left in the game the Jr. Blues had a face-off deep in the defensive zone.  Tommy Lange won the draw cleanly back to CJ JungJung lofted a high floater over the Chicago defenseman and coming to a stop in the Chicago zone.  J.P. Burkemper hustled and got to the puck just as the Chicago defenseman did and quickly stole the puck.  The puck was then picked up by a hustling Jack Berger who went in alone on the goaltender moving from one side to the other with the move and the game winning goal with just 21 seconds remaining.  Max Ozawa was strong in net making 23 saves on 24 shots.
