In Their Own Story
The lights hummed overhead as the ice crackled under skates during overtime. The noise from the Honda Center crowd was a physical weight, pushing against the players' backs. A loose puck skittered near the blue line, and for a split second, time seemed to freeze. The rookie forward saw the opening before anyone else, skating hard into the slot with pure instinct.
