The Rapids goalie trio of Kendall McClenton-Canty, Joe Lewandowski, and Charlie Stein gobbled up just about everything that came their way, much to the frustration of the Hurricanes attack.
The defense did their part as well, making it difficult for the Hurricanes to muster much offense.

The Hurricanes goalie Demi Rainey did yeoman’s work for his team, but the Rapids quick strike offense kept inundating him with quality shots.
