He’s having a rough 3rd period…maybe needs to sit some more before he costs the team a goal against

Yes. Β Some of these kids get the yips. Β Power is one of them. Β If Adams would get a steady veteran β€œstay at home defensive defenseman” he would help the team, and he would help Power.Β

I don’t ever recall an empty net this early in a 3rd period…..anybody else?

Roy has done it before Β 

According to ChatGPT

The earliest recorded instance of a coach pulling the goalie for an extra attacker in a game was 11:02 remaining in the third period, by Patrick Roy, then-coach of the Colorado Avalanche, during a game on March 16, 2015, against the Anaheim Ducks. This aggressive strategy was used as part of Roy’s philosophy to create offensive pressure, and it remains one of the boldest empty-net pulls in NHL history.

Β 

While pulling a goalie with more than a few minutes left in the game is still rare, this example shows how some coaches push traditional boundaries for a chance to win.
