The Regular Seasons about the kick off for the San Francisco Fire, as they've sold out the arena here in their home opener where they'll take on the Dallas Stars.
As we were told before, Terence would make the game day decision on who would start in the opener, which we now find out, Jeff Zatkoff would get the nod.
In what was a tight first two periods with the score going into the third deadlocked at 2 a piece (Goals from Mikael Granlund and Kevin Shattenkirk for the SFF and Patrick Sharp and Devin Shore of DAL).
The game would stay that way up until 9:30 of the 3rd period, when SFF's Brandon Sutter would wire one home to give the home fans something to cheer about. The goal would stand as the game winner, but Tobias Rieder would get an empty netter at the 19:55 to add some icing to the cake, as the San Francisco Fire would win their home opener and first official NHL game 4-2!
Noteworthy
Rookie Defenceman; Cal Foote registered his first NHL point in his first ever NHL game with an assist on the opening goal from Makael Granlund.
Jeff Zatkoff looked good in the crease turning aside 22/24 shots he faced recording a .917 SV% and his first victory of the season.
