Colorado Eagles blank Firebirds at home despite big night from Cale Morris
One goal was all the Colorado Eagles needed on Sunday night as they beat the Firebirds, 1-0, to snap their four game win streak.
Goaltender Cale Morris turned away 43 saves on 44 shots as the Firebirds’ four game winning streak came to a halt.
The only goal of the game was scored at the 2:09 mark of the third period. Eagles’ forward Cedric Pare wristed a shot from the high slot to give Colorado a lead they would not relinquish.
The Firebirds were outshot 44-22 in the loss that moves them to a 14-8-1-0 overall record and 4-7-1-0 on home ice. This was third time that Coachella Valley has been shutout this season. The penalty kill finished 2-for-3 and the powerplay went 0-for-3.
