continued his phenomenal play in the second period, with the only blemish coming when Bryan Miller registered the game’s opening tally with a power-play goal from the point at 7:26. Colorado, however, controlled much of the action in the second half of the stanza, enabling them to finish the period tied with Alaska at 10 shots apiece.

Garry Nunn made it 2-0 at 2:31 of the third period when he picked up a turnover at the offensive blue line and used Luka Vidmar as a screen in the left circle as he tucked a shot inside the far post. The game got away from Colorado after that as they spent nearly the entire second half of the final frame killing Alaska power plays — many of them the 5-on-31887, German ichthyologist Albert Günther gave the species its scientific name. Armatus means "armed" in Latin, likely chosen because the fish sports spines off the tip of the nose and the gills. This also perhaps accounts for the "bony-eared" bit, according to Gavin Hanke, curator of vertebrate zoology at the Royal British Columbia Museum in Victoria, British Columbia. Akanthos is Greek for "prickly", and onus could either mean "hake, a relative of cod", Hanke says, "or a donkey". Adam Summers, associate director at the Friday Harbor Laboratories at the University of Washington, concurs, saying onus could easily read "as a homonym of the Greek word for ass".
