Lowell keeps playoff hopes alive

So Lowell won their game tonight 2-0, and guess who was in the net? Yes, it was the rather attractive, and rather awesome Jordan Parise, getting his 2nd shutout of his rookie season. He's amazing. I know.


So the game was scoreless until 10:12 (which happens to be my birthday), when Chris Minard scored his team-leading 31st goal of the season from Grant Marshall and Toumas Pihlman. Aside from that goal and 10 saves from JP, the 2nd period wasn't a very good one. They were short handed for a total of 6 minutes. Not really much, unless you take into account that about 4 minutes of that was 5-3. And except for when David Clarkson was in the box in the 1st, we weren't short handed besides that.

2:12 into the 3rd, Clarkson scored his 19th of the season Petr Vrana and Olli Malmivaara. So..that's really it I guess. The Devils had 37 shots to Partland's 21. So the Pirates' goalie played well too, but JP's better. Neither team had any PPGs, with the Devils going 0/6 and the Pirates 0/4. Now, this has nothing to do with anything, but Stephen Gionta got smashed into the boards with 4:50 remaining, and had a little trouble getting off the ice. But hopefully he's ok.

3 STARS:
#3- Clarkson
#2- Minard
#1- Parise

Till tomorrow, my friends.
