On Day 14 of the 2026 Calder Cup Playoffs the light shines on the Nevada desert:
Henderson’s final home game of the series is especially important after the Silver Knights rallied from a 1-0 deficit in Friday’s 1-0 series win over Colorado.
The Eagles can take the lead by returning to Loveland with another win in Game 2 tonight (10 ET, 
).
Henderson averaged 4.52 goals per game in his previous 29 contests before Colorado shut them out in Game 1. The Eagles allowed just 18 shots on goal in the game, including just five in the third period when Nurse had a one-goal lead.
Alex Barré-Boulet scored his only goal of the game on a power play with 2:20 to play in the first period, his first point of the playoffs. Trent Miner (3-0, 0.33, .984) did the rest, earning his second shutout in three starts this postseason.
“It was a good playoff hockey game,” the Silver Knights head coach Ryan Craig said. “It came down to one play – they made a power play, and it ended up being the difference in the game.”
Despite 32 saves, Carl Lindbom lost in regulation for the first time since Jan. 18 in Colorado, ending a 20-0-2 streak.
Regarding recovering from the home separation before heading to Colorado, Craig said he is not focused on entering Game 2.
“We want to win every game.”
