Campbell, Vancouver Goldeneyes finding positives despite loss to Boston

Even in a building packed with nearly 10,000 cheering hockey fans, you can hear Kristen Campbell on the ice.

The Vancouver Goldeneyes goalie is talkative in the net, acting as a quarterback for her team.

"One of the things that I really try to do in my game is command the game. So communicating with the D, calling out the plays, just talking as much as I can to help everyone out," Campbell said.

"I like to stay connected to everyone on the ice, and I think that just makes us work as a unit of six out there."

The strategy helped the seventh-place Goldeneyes (5-1-3-9) push the PWHL-leading Boston Fleet to overtime on Tuesday. Boston ultimately took a 2-1 win.

Much of the game was a goalie duel, with Campbell and her Boston counterpart Aerin Frankel turning away a combined 34 shots over the first two periods.

Fleet defender Haley Winn broke the goalless deadlock early in the third, and Hannah Miller responded for the Goldeneyes late in the frame to force extra time.

Shay Maloney beat Campbell 41 seconds into overtime, lifting Boston (9-4-2-2) to its sixth straight victory.

Despite the result, Campbell liked the way her team played.

"I thought the team was really solid in front of me tonight, and honestly, I'm just really proud of our effort," said the netminder, who made 25 saves.

"It was a great game. It could have gone either way, and once you get to overtime, it's just a game of mistakes. I just thought we were right there the whole time. And I'm just really proud of the whole team, and know that we'll build off of this and keep going."

Boston tested Campbell repeatedly across the game, including on a second-period power play where Megan Keller launched a rocket on
