Aeros Pacing Western Playoffs as Grahame Shuts Down San Diego
Houston Aeros hold a 2-0 lead over San Diego in the Western playoffs as Ron Grahame allows only one goal on 47 shots. Murray Hall and Jim Sherrit supply offense while referee Bob Sloan's disputed calls shape the game. In Minnesota, John Garrett backstops the Fighting Saints to a 4-2 win over Quebec to even the series at 2-2, with Huck and Connelly scoring key goals. Minnesota also places Joe Decker and Phil Roof on the disabled list, promoting Mike Pavik and Tom Lundstedt to fill rosters.
