- The Charlotte Checkers tied the Calder Cup Final series 1-1 with a 3-2 overtime win against the Abbotsford Canucks on Sunday in Charlotte.
- The series followed a contentious Game 1 where a goal was disallowed because Abbotsford goalie Arturs Silovs was not ready for the faceoff, causing confusion and debate.
- Silovs made 51 saves in Game 1 to help Abbotsford win 4-3 in double overtime, while Sunday's game saw the Checkers outshoot Canucks 40-13 in regulation before winning on a power-play goal by Michael Benning.
- Head coach Gordie Kinnear noted that the officials hesitated because the goalie had not yet assumed his position for the faceoff, while players also expressed uncertainty regarding the decision to disallow the goal.
- With the series shifting to Abbotsford in British Columbia for Game 3 on Tuesday, both teams remain tied in a seven-game final that excludes the Hershey Bears and Coachella Valley Firebirds this year.
