4:31 to play in the third: The final media timeout of the game, and Lewiston continues to have some jump. At the other end, Bernier made two solid saves on one Plymouth rush.

7:47 to play in the third: Plenty of whistle-less hockey to go around now. Lewiston is starting to skate better, and is creating problems for Plymouth in the Whalers’ zone.

14:53 to play in the third: Lewiston appeared to be on the board, as Stefan Chaput managed to tip in a feed from the left corner over a slouching Michal Neuvirth. As he went through the low slot, Chaput got clipped with a high stick. The play was under review, and deemed no goal.

4:09 to play in the second: Another PP, and another 0-for by the Maineiacs. This time, though, the Maineiacs applied the pressure well, and had a couple of chances. Their shots still seemed a bit tight, though.

6:36 to play in the second: Lewiston will get yet another shot at a PP as Jared Boll roughs up Stefano Giliati and is called.

15:30 to play in the second: Lewiston on its 3rd PP of the game after a tripping call to Daniel Ryder of Plymouth.

18:26 to play in the second: Maineiacs had a great chance stopped by Neuvirth early, Bernier responds at the other end.

End of the first period: Neither team managed a goal, and neither team managed any sort of momentum. Plymouth outshot the Maineiacs 12-7, largely because they were able to get some shots on the power play, something Lewiston was unable to do. The Maineiacs and Whalers are even, 0-0, through 20 minutes of play.

2:18 to play in the first: Marc-Andre Crete whistled for holding. 4-on-4 for 20 seconds, and then a Plymouth PP.

7:44 to play in the first: Stefan Chaput takes the Maineiacs’ first penalty of the game. Whalers to the PP.

9:29 to play in the first: Neither team seems able to establish any sort of rhythm. The Whalers seem content to try to match Lewiston’s passive style, hoping to catch Lewiston napping or at least minimize their own mistakes while conserving energy

12:04 to play in the first: Lewiston is skating better than Plymouth, but can’t seem to generate any cohesion inside the Whalers’ zone. On the flip side, Plymouth is making up for their slower skating by clogging up the center zone and not allowing Lewiston to work through the middle of the ice.

14:57 to play in the first: David Perron and Simon Courcelles each had a solid chance in tight stopped by Neuvirth on the PP. The PP is now over, the teams are back to full strength.

Time for faceoff: The Maineiacs’ starting lineup has the top line with Simon Courcelles at center, and Kevin Marshall and Chad Denny on the blue line.

10:00 before faceoff: There are a few lineup changes for the Maineiacs tonight. Into the lineup come Patrick Cusack — seeing his first action of the tournament — and Marc-Andre Crete, who replace Tom Michalik and Michael Ward on the blue line.

Marc-Andre Cliche remains out with a shoulder injury.

The Maineiacs will face the Plymouth Whalers tonight in each team’s third and final game of the Memorial Cup round robin. A win will put the Maineiacs into at least the semifinal game Friday, and could put them into the final with a medicine Hat win over Vancouver on Wednesday. A loss could relegate them to the play-in game on Thursday night.

Plymouth fell to Medicine Hat on Monday night, 4-1, in what turned into a very physical contest. Plymouth is 0-for-2 so far this tournament after an opening-night, 4-3 overtime loss to Vancouver.
