Senior Goalie Gabe Otis stopped 45 of the Storm’s 48 shots to keep the game close against the speedy Storm, which is the #4 ranked team in Minnesota Class 2A hockey. Otis, who ranks among the state Class 2A leaders in wins, goals-against average and save percentage, made some spectacular saves for the Lightning. Chanhassen outshot the Lightning 48-21. Junior Forward Isaac Berberena and Senior Forwards Zach Wooten and Jordan Brothers worked for some good scoring chances, but the Lightning got nothing into the Chanhassen net. Eastview had six power play opportunities to two for Chanhassen. One of Eastview’s best scoring opportunities of the night was ruined when a Storm defender tackled Sophomore Forward Sam Wooten as he raced with the puck toward the Chanhassen goal in the third period. Although Wooten drew a penalty, the Lightning were unable to score on the resulting power play. Eastview returns to the Victoria Ice Arena on Thursday December at 7:00 p.m. to take on Holy Family, which currently ranks #10 in Minnesota Class 2A hockey.
