Feb 23, 2024
LOVELAND, CO. – Colorado goaltender Ivan Prosvetov stopped all 15 shots he faced to earn his first shutout of the season, as the Eagles defeated the Henderson Silver Knights 4-0 on Friday. Forward Cedric Pare netted a pair of goals, including the game-winner, as 11 different skaters found their way onto the scoresheet. The Eagles finished off the night going a perfect 3-for-3 on the penalty kill and outshot the Silver Knights, 36-15.
Colorado would jump out early, as Pare camped out between the circles and deflected a shot from the point into the back of the net. The goal extended Pare’s goal-scoring streak to three games and gave the Eagles a 1-0 edge just 2:06 into the contest.
Henderson would earn a pair of power-play chances in the first period, but would be denied by Colorado each time, as the Eagles carried their 1-0 lead into the first intermission.
Forward Cal Burke would also extend his goal streak to three games when he fielded a pass at the top of the crease and fired a wrister past Silver Knights goalie Jiri Patera. The goal was Burke’s 13th of the season and extended Colorado’s advantage to 2-0 just 1:25 into the second period.
Still leading 2-0 as the puck dropped on the third period, the Eagles would keep the attack clicked in gear, as forward Tanner Kero capped off a 2-on-1 rush with a goal from the side of the crease, putting Colorado up 3-0 at the 7:58 mark of the final frame.
Pare would find the back of the net yet again when he buried a wrister from the top of the left-wing circle, pushing the Eagles lead to 4-0 with 4:44 left in the contest.
Patera suffered the loss in net, allowing four goals on 36 shots.
