WALL MODE.

When the Panthers needed a stop, Tyson Underhill answered.

Facing 30 shots against one of the league’s toughest opponents, Underhill turned aside 25 shots and battled until the final whistle, keeping Edmonton within striking distance throughout the afternoon.

Some performances aren’t defined by the final score. They’re defined by resilience, determination, and refusing to back down under pressure.

Tyson brought all three.
