Pioneers’ third line providing energetic chemistry & much-needed secondary scoring https://t.co/0WgBHqmjiY pic.twitter.com/I3U3IKeFoL

Very disappointing effort level for the first two periods on the road sealed the Pios’ fate tonight — maybe the poorest first 40 minute Pio effort level of the Carle era. You generally don’t win games with only seven shots on goal over the first two periods, and while DU battled hard to come back in the third, the hole was just too big by then.
DC also has to find some solutions for his special teams fast, which are getting worse rather than better. DU got burned for a shorty, a PPG and and EAG empty-netter tonight – none of them scored 5 on 5. Additionally, DU had a 5 minute major PP and did not score, either. Ballgame.
