Miner Earns 33-Save Shutout in Eagles 3-0 Blanking of Henderson | Pro Hockey News

LOVELAND, CO – Colorado goaltender Trent Miner stopped all 33 shots he faced and earned his first AHL shutout of the season as the Eagles defeated the Henderson Silver Knights 3-0 on Saturday. Rookie defenseman Saige Weintstein scored the first AHL goal of his career, while forwards Cooper Gay and Alex Barre-Boulet also found the back of the net.

In the first period, Colorado would earn a pair of power plays while the Silver Knights got one shot at the man advantage. However, it would be the goalkeepers who would carry the first twenty minutes, and the two teams headed to the first break with the match still scoreless.

The Eagles would open the scoring when Weinstein buried a one-timer from the slot, scoring his first career AHL goal and giving Colorado a 1-0 lead at 4:42 of the second period.

Henderson would outscore the Eagles 17-7 in the middle frame, but a series of saves from Miner would allow Colorado to take a 1-0 lead into the second intermission.

The Eagles would strike again when Gay collected a centering feed from Ivan Ivan before firing a shot over goalie Carl Lindbom’s shoulder, extending Colorado’s lead to 2-0 at 9:19 of the second period.

As time expired, the Silver Knights would pull Lindbom in favor of the extra attacker, but it would be Barre-Boulet who would capitalize with an empty-netter, rounding out the score at 3-0 with just 1:42 left in the game.

Lindbom suffered the loss in net, allowing two goals on 33 shots, while the Eagles finished the night 0-for-3 on the power play and a perfect 4-for-4 on the penalty kill.
