Goaltender
Mackenzie Dojahn was flawless, stopping all 20 shots she faced to earn the shutout, while three different Pandas found the scoresheet in a well-balanced offensive effort. Dojahn now has three shutouts in five career regular season starts, and owns a 5-0-0 career record.Â
The result lifts the Pandas to 3-3-2 on the season, while Calgary falls to 5-3-0. Alberta outshot Calgary 31–20 and killed off both Calgary powerplays. Maisie Cope was strong in the Dinos crease, making 28 saves on 30 shots.Â
The breakthrough came late in the opening frame when
Holly Magnus struck at 13:42, converting a crisp feed from
Jadynn Morden and
Ryann Perrett. Magnus's first goal of the season came after sustained offensive pressureÂ
The Pandas doubled their lead midway through the second period.
Sara Kazeil took a pass from
Natalie Kieser and snapped a shot from the slot that found its way through traffic for her first of the year. The Pandas outshot Calgary 15-3 in the second period.Â
Calgary pressed early in the third, but Dojahn turned aside every look. The Dinos went on two late power plays, yet Alberta's structure held firm. With just under a minute remaining, and the Dinos net empty for an extra attacker,
Annie King sealed the win with a short-handed empty-net goal in the final minute.Â
The Pandas sit third in the West Division with a 3-3-2 record, and will host the TWU Spartans next weekend.Â
