The post Griffins Tie Series With 2-0 Win appeared first on Detroit Hockey Now . Michael Brandsegg-Nygard It was an afternoon to remember for Michael Brandsegg-Nygard. As a result, the Grand Rapids Griffins are even in their playoff series with the Manitoba Moose.
Brandegg-Nygard scored one goal and assisted on the other as the Griffins evened their series with the Moose, taking a 2-0 victory and tying the best-of-five series at one game apiece. But it didn’t come easy. For the second day in a row, Griffins goalie Michal Postava and Manitoba’s Domenic DiVincentiis were stellar in goal.
DiVincentiis had 32 saves on 34 shots, while Postava was 30-for-30 in saves. But the Griffins, who allowed 14 shots on goal in the period, held the Moose to 16, eight in each period, the rest of the way. “This was a team effort, ” Brandsegg-Nygard said.
“Everyone was playing hard. ” This time, it was the Griffins getting what turned out to be the winning goal on the power play. Brandsegg-Nygard scored for Grand Rapids with 2:56 left in the first period, taking advantage with assists from Sheldon Dries and John Leonard.
