Abbotsford Pilots Shutout At Home By Richmond – Now On Xmas Break

Abbotsford – With the last home game of the 2019 calendar year taking place on Friday night, the Abbotsford Pilots (12-19-0-1) were shut out 2-0 by the visiting Richmond Sockeyes (20-8-1-4) at MSA Arena. Rookies were in the pipes with varying results. In his 7th straight start for the Pilots, Brock Machholz made 43 stops while Braedy Euerby of the Sockeyes made only 15 saves for his first shutout of the season. Richmond was able to keep the Pilots shot totals to single digits in each period, outshooting the home team drastically. The Sockeyes also had the bulk of power play attempts with 7 throughout the night, but neither team was able to capitalize.
