Day 33: ROV@500 review

The Rovers rolled into Indy looking to extend their unbeaten streak against one of their traditional rivals and did just that, coming up with a 4-1 road victory. The win was Baffin's fourth in a row, and marks their 13th game without a loss, a franchise record. The Rovers were once again paced by their new third line of Malone, Jokinen, and Patrice Bergeron. Jokinen tallied a goal and two assists, while Malone scored for the second straight game and Bergeron added an assist for two points in two RHL games. Pavol Demitra and Jeff Halpern also scored for the Rovers, who outshot the 500s 32-19. Martin Gerber got the win, stopping 18 of 19, while Chris Osgood took the loss.

The Rovers left immediately after the game, returning home to prepare to host the Spectres tomorrow night. Defenseman Eric Brewer left he game early in the second period with a mild knee sprain. He is listed as doubtful for the game against the Spectres, but with two days off after that may not miss further time. Nathan Horton will take the pre-game skate to test his injured right shoulder, and will also be a game-time decision.
