With just under four minutes left in regulation, Dakota Mermis drove Ontario’s zone, leaving a drop pass for Ryan MacInnis. MacInnis directed a shot low on Campbell, which he couldn’t handle cleanly, and Mermis, who was driving hard to the net, got a stick on the loose puck, tucking it past the Reign netminder to tie the game.
Ryan grew up in the St. Louis suburbs, the son of an NHL legend; Al smacked pucks against a barn door in Nova Scotia, the son of a coal miner with eight kids. Ryan was born with natural talent, but only recently began to fill into his body and just now believes he’s starting to find his groove.
Ryan MacInnis is your prototypical late bloomer; in his draft season MacInnis had 16 goals and 21 assists in 66 games. But in his draft +1 year, he had 25 goals and 37 assists. And last season, he had 38 goals and 43 assists despite playing 7-8 fewer games than in seasons past.
