There was a lot of action in the first period, especially in the opening minutes.
First, Igor Chernyshov took a hard fall on the ice and did not return to the game afterward. Even the CH's official X account offered its sincere thoughts.Matheson hit Chernyshov. Hopefully he's fine. pic.twitter.com/ne0xZqGXPA

Ivan Demidov was also injured and had to be taken off to the locker room, but fortunately, he eventually returned. Lane Hutson also had a goal disallowed.It's shaping up to be a quiet game…
