Derek Mullahy turned away 21/23 shots while Grant Adams had 24/25 saves tonight.
NZ Take:
Mason Lohrei, 01 D for Culver did not find his way on the scoresheet but was very good from the back end and played a role of solid puck-moving defenseman. Grant Adams was solid in between the pipes for Culver tonight.
For Dexter, with Harvard commit and NHL Draft prospect, John Farinacci (Chatham, NJ) out of the lineup they will be looking for some goal scoring. Chase McInnis (Hingham, MA) showed lots of energy tonight and was making plays all over the ice. Ben Raymond had a good night for himself, he has good speed and creates offense coming through the neutral zone.
Three Stars:
- G Grant Adams, Culver
- F Maksis Brimanis, Culver
- F Ben Raymond, Dexter
