Pats/Ice: Live Blog First Period

....Ketlo starts.

....Vetter refs.

....Not much to report thru the first half of the period. Definitely a quick period with only 9 combined shots on net (5-4 Ice).

....12:29 Ice get an elbowing minor (Martin) giving the Pats the first powerplay of the game.

....The powerplay nets nothing.

....The Pats get on the board first on a nice snipe by Bell (his 12th) at 14:38. Bell stole a clearing attempt at the blueline and went in and beat Lieuwen glove side. 1-0 Pats.

....Ice take another minor (holding to Reinhart) at 18:14.

....Ugly start to this powerplay endig with no chances. 14 seconds left to start the 2nd.

....8-7 shots for the Ice after the first.
