STOPPED BY THE COPS:

Goaltender Pheonix Copley collected his second shutout of the season last night with his 23-save clean sheet. It was the 15th shutout of his AHL career, and his 11th as a member of the Bears. Copley improved his record to 10-7-2 on the season with a 2.61 goals-against average and a .902 save percentage.
