Eagles Stymied by Canucks, 2-1

Feb 17, 2025

ABBOTSFORD, BC. – Colorado forward T.J. Tynan lit the lamp with 5:00 remaining in regulation, but it would not be enough, as the Eagles fell to the Abbotsford Canucks 2-1 on Monday. Canucks forward Danila Klimovich led the way with a goal and an assist, while goaltender Arturs Silovs collected the win in net, making 27 saves on 28 shots. Abbotsford defenseman Christian Wolanin also produced a multi-point performance with a pair of assists in the victory.
 
An Eagles turnover behind the net would allow Canucks forward Ty Mueller to field a pass in the low slot before sweeping a shot past Colorado goalie Trent Miner, giving Abbotsford a 1-0 edge at the 11:20 mark of the first period. Colorado would go on to outshoot the Canucks 12-8 in the opening frame but still trailed 1-0 as the teams left for the first intermission.
 
The game’s first power play would allow Klimovich to slice through the left-wing circle before roofing a backhander, extending Abbotsford’s lead to 2-0 at the 8:46 mark of the second period.
 
Still trailing 2-0 as the puck dropped on the third period, the Eagles would receive a jolt when Tynan collected a pass on top of the crease and fed home a backhander, slicing the deficit 2-1 with 5:00 still left to play. Colorado would pull Miner in favor of the extra attacker, but would come no closer, falling by a final score of 2-1.
 
The Eagles finished the contest going 0-for-1 on the power play and 2-for-3 on the penalty kill, Miner suffered the loss in net, allowing two goals on 30 shots.
