RECAP: Green vs Grey, Rookie Games
August 28, 2016 - Western Hockey League (WHL)
Everett Silvertips News Release
Prospect goaltender Dustin Wolf and reigning CHL Goaltender of the Year Carter Hart teamed to stop 41 of 42 shots, while Sean Richards' breakaway goal stood as the winner for Team Grey, 2-1 over Team Green at the annual Everett Silvertips Green vs. Grey Game at XFINITY Arena on Sunday afternoon.
Ethan Browne, the Silvertips first round selection in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, opened the scoring while Wyatte Wylie earned Team Green's lone goal.
Wolf delivered two key saves for Team Grey in the opening minutes and Browne, walking out along the boards, opened the scoresheet with a backhander from the left goal line that deflected of Mario Petit and put Grey ahead, 1-0 with 15:27 remaining.
The Snohomish County native Wylie answered with a laser from the right circle, a wrister to knot the game, 1-1 just 42 seconds later for Team Green.
Wolf then flashed the blocker to deny Matt Fonteyne's quick redirection with 9:27 left in the period, preserving the tie.
Richards, acquired in the offseason in a trade from Regina, stripped Team Green's defense on a low-to-high pass and cashed in with a breakaway goal, slithering a backhand deke past Petit's glove for a 2-1 lead with 7:18 left.
Hart replaced Wolf and Lasse Peterson (acquired during the summer from Spokane) replaced Petit with 10:06 remaining in the second period, and the score remained intact.
Hart continued to see significant activity in the third period, but helped preserve the lead while Team Grey closed out the game successfully in their own zone, after a face-off to Hart's left and a six-on-four opportunity for Team Green.
Green's goaltenders, Petit and Petersen, stopped 18 of 20 shots. Green outshot Grey, 43-20. Doug Sinclair and Tyler Maxwell served as coaches for Team Grey, while Turner Stevenson and Jag Bal were behind the bench for Team Green.
