(3)Slayers vs Spartans(4)
The Spartans escape with a nail biter
While leading 4-1 in the third period may have felt comforting, things changed when L.Bourgaunt and A.Desrosiers tallied late on the power play to narrow the gap within one. As much as those tallies caused some concern, the Spartans only needed to kill off one more minute to escape with their first win of the season. The offence came from four different players. P.Plasir, N.Pitsikoulis, P.Arkalis and C.Plasir all scored in the victory while the Slayers got their tallies by P.Elizardo, L.Bourgaunt and A.Desrosiers.
(6)Black Knights vs Red Lite(3)
Black Knights use four third period markers in double up win over Red Lite
After carrying a slight 2-1 lead, the Black Knights sparked their offence by the final frame. J.Gagne led the way scoring twice in the span of just over five minutes. J.Mandracchia made the score 2-1 by the five minute mark of the second period before adding his second by the third. This result hands Red Lite their first loss in three games. The long time champions had the quality but not the quantity on this night with only nine players dressed.
(0)Hustlers vs All Blacks(5)
F.Rolland shines between the pipes, All Blacks earn a 5-0 win
With the help of his team in front of him, F.Rolland did more than his share to get the job done. A 36 shot performance against one of the All Blacks most valuable player wasn’t nearly enough for the Hustlers, who still struggle to get in the win column. Rolland was sharp making plenty of key stops allowing his team to feed off the momentum. The All Blacks got two goals in the first before adding three more by the third. P-M Chenier had a multi goal night getting both his tallies on the power play.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Francis Rolland of the All Blacks. The solid net minder recorded a well earned shutout enabling the All Blacks to capture their third win in four games.
