Daccord Prevails in Goalie Duel against Stars
March 9, 2022 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Charlotte Checkers News Release
CEDAR PARK, TX - The Checkers and Stars locked in a defensive struggle Tuesday night, with the goalies taking center stage until a clutch bounce late in the third clinched the win for the visitors.
Both sides would strike early on, with the Stars snagging a lead less than three minutes in before Owen Tippett pulled off a slick individual effort to even the score shortly after.
That would spell the end of the offensive output for a long stretch of time, however, as the netminders settled in. Making his second straight start, Joey Daccord was a rock in net for Charlotte - amassing 27 saves by the time the final horn sounded.
Through waves of pressure and a combined 10 power plays between them, neither side could find the go-ahead marker until the final 90 seconds of play. In a battle behind the net, Cole Schwindt chopped at the puck and sent it careening toward the goal mouth, where it found a way behind the Texas netminder and over the goal line to give Charlotte its first lead of the night. The Checkers fended off the last ditch efforts from Texas and rode a Tippett empty netter to a 3-1 final to keep their hot streak rolling.
