Good early chance on a one-timer from top of the circle by Abbotsford's Arshdeep Bains . Swallowed by Texas goalie Remi Poirier. We're knotted at 0-0 at the 6:33 mark. Shots are 4-3 in Abbotsford's favour. First power play for Texas, with Linus Karlsson going off for tripping Arttu Hyry. Astle on Guillaume Brisebois: 'He eats pucks for breakfast, lunch and dinner.' Canucks kill off penalty, Karlsson gets a breakaway coming out of the box but he fires into Poirier's chest protector. Astle says that Raty has gone to the dressing room for medical attention after colliding with Texas' Trey Taylor. Abbotsford has first power play, with the Stars' Gavin White going off on an interference minor. We're done one, and it's still 0-0. Shots are 10-8 in Abbotsford's favour. Good chances at both ends. Another Artūrs Šilovs save for the collection. Thank you. @abbycanucks | @Canucks #AHL #CalderCup #ProudlyAbbotsford #Canucks Raty still not back for Abbotsford. Šilovs gets a tripping minor to put Texas back on the power play. Abbotsford kills off the penalty. Texas manages just a single shot. There's also a big hit by Abbotsford's Jett Woo on former Canucks prospect Kole Lind. Jett Woo drops Kole Linds. #Canucks Another Texas power play, with Sammy Blais going off on a high sticking minor. Another 'Arty, Arty,' chant after Šilovs blockers away a Cameron Hughes chance. Abbotsford kills off the penalty. Šilovs thwarts late flurry. Oh, Arty. #Canucks Abbotsford takes a third penalty of his second period, getting dinged this time for too many men on the ice. They had a single penalty in Game 1. Another Abbotsford penalty kill, led by Šilovs and the puck control of Phil Di Giuseppe. Shots are 9-4 Texas in the second period with just over five minutes to go in the frame. Still scoreless, with 4:08 to go the second period. Shots for the game are 19-15 for Texas. Tristen Nielsen tries to go backhand five-hole on a breakaway but is foiled by the Stars' Poirier. We're deadlocked 0-0 after two periods. Shots are 19-19. Shots are 20-19 in Texas' favour a couple of minutes into the third. It's a much tighter contest than Game 1, which saw Abbotsford have a 46-38 shot advantage. Abbotsford's Jonathan Lekkerimäki is wide open in front of the net when the puck comes to him, but he can't corral it on the backhand. Abby leads 1-0. A tired Texas line has to stay out on the ice after an icing, and the Canucks take advantage, with Akito Hirose's point shot hitting a gaggle of players in front and then slowly trickling past Poirier at 7:39 of the third. Hirose didn't play in Game 1, but came in tonight for Cole McWard. announced attendance tonight in Abbotsford: 7050 Lind seemed to bait Di Giuseppe off a face-off in neutral ice following a brouhaha in Abbotsford territory. Di Giuseppe drops the gloves, Lind does not. After a discussion by referees, Lind ends up with a penalty as well. They both get unsportsmanlike conduct minors. Texas thought they had tied it with 2:46 when Curtis MacKenzie shovelled one past Silovs in a scrum. The referee called it a goal initially but after a discussions it's waived off, with the officials saying Silovs had it covered. The Texas Stars thought they had tied the game late in the third period, delivering a dagger. After a second look, however, the referees made the call... NO GOAL! Abby wins 1-0. Šilovs gets the shutout with 26 saves. Lind ssays something to Silovs at the final horn, creating a ruckus in front of the net. There's later a fracas by the Texas bench. sewen@
