The Ontario Reign (2-3) and Colorado Eagles (3-2) play the sixth game of their best-of-seven Pacific Division Semifinals matchup, in a do-or-die matchup at Citizens Business Bank Arena. Ontario must win in order to force a decisive Game 7 on Tuesday.
BLACKWATER LEADS THE WAY:
Judd Blackwater's goals on Friday pushed his team scoring lead in the postseason to six points (3g-3a). With his three goals on a series-leading 149 shots, his shooting percentage checks in at 15.8%.
EARLY LEAD CRITICAL:
A common trend through this series is whoever leads after the first period ends up with the win. Ontario is 2-0 when leading after the first, while Colorado is 3-0.
SHOTS AND PENALTIES TRENDING UP:
Friday's Game 5 performance for Ontario marked not only the highest total of shots on goal for the Reign so far in the postseason, but also the largest total of shots against, as well as the most penalty minutes assessed to Ontario in a 2015 playoff game. So far in the series, Ontario is 2-2 when outshooting Colorado, and 0-1 when Colorado has the shots on goal advantage.
