Owen McNamara was the only goal scorer in the first as the Blues focussed on keeping the Rebellion in check. Collingwood allowed just six first period shots.
They repeated the six shot defensive gem in the second giving up just one good scoring chance. Noah Mavin kept the Rebellion in the game as they home squad gave up 15 shots…. at three Mavin saves looked like sure goals.
Hagen Bach took the spot light in the early part of the third as the Rebellion produced their best chances of the game but the Blues netminder made the saves to protect the lead and eventually get his playoff shut out.
Carson McGurn had the insurance goal with just under six minutes remaining when he banged home the rebound after Mavin had stolen one from Stumpf point blank.
The teams showed why they had the two best penalty kills in the league. King killed off two Blues chances and the Blues killed 5, including two in the final 3 minutes that were six on four attacks as the Rebellion pulled the goalie for an extra skater
The Blues host game three Monday night in Collingwood, and the series returns to King on Thursday for game four. Tickets: https://shorturl.at/ca0xm
