Shilov’s victory and the honor of the first “star” in the AHL match; Punnenov’s failure in Switzerland

The 20-year-old Latvian goalkeeper repelled 22 of the 23 home throws, as well as dealt with all three post-game throws, being recognized as the first “star” of the game.

The Latvian goalkeeper has saved the goals of the AHL unit this season in nine games, in which he scored an average of 2.78 goals and repelled 89.5% of opponents’ shots. There is also one “dry” match in the Latvian account.

With 28 points in 28 matches, the Canucks rank sixth overall in the AHL Pacific Division.

In the regular championship, until the end of April, the teams will play an unequal number of games – 76, 72, or 68 -, dividing the places according to the points / match ratio won. It is planned that starting from next season, all units in the regular tournament will play 72 games.

Meanwhile, the goalkeeper of the Latvian national team Ivars Punnenovs played 21 of the 25 throws in the Swiss Hockey Premier League (NL), but was unable to save his team from another loss.

Punnenova’s Langnava “Tigers” conceded to the Rappersville-Jonas “Lakers” team with the result 3: 5 (1: 1, 2: 1, 0: 3).

At a score of 3: 4, the Tigers replaced Punnenov with a sixth-place player, but the fifth goal was lost and they failed to score. For the Tigers, this was the eighth loss in a row.

The striker Oskars Lapinskis from the Latvians playing in the ranks of the “Tigers” also took part in the match.

Latvian strikers Rihards Melnalksnis and Darels Dukurs were not included in the “Tigers” application.

Punnenov scored an average of 3.65 goals in 21 games this season and rebounded by 90.4%.

In the tournament table, the Tigers are in 12th place in the 13-team competition with 32 points in 38 matches, while the Lakers are the league leaders with 73 points.

Last season, in the final of the National League tournament, the Geneva “Servette” conceded to the “Zug” hockey players.
