(5)Dark Knights vs Bijoux(4) O.T

Unable to protect a late two goal lead, Bijoux will need some time to digest this set back loss. The Dark Knights looked once more to A.Covone, who did the unthinkable by producing three crucial points. After setting up J.Amato and G.Baksic late in the game, Covone put the cherry on the cake by netting the overtime winner.The Dark Knights fought hard all game long to overcome deficits and did a great job never giving up, especially against a team that’s been hard to beat all season long.

(9)Hit List vs HC Inter(7)

With goals not being an issue, the Hit List prevailed in what was a wild 9-7 victory. Most of the action occurred by the final frame where both teams combined for ten goals. The Hit List led 4-2 just prior to the frame before each side decided to take more chances. L.Richard enjoyed a five goal two assist night in the win. J-F Huppe also went on to score collecting two goals and two assists while S.Lavoie-Robert and his captain S.Trudel combined for six points. As for the HC Inter, A.Cloutier did more than his share notching two goals in a five point performance.

(5)Red Vipers vs Red Nose(3)

Despite trailing twice, the Red Vipers used three straight third period markers to defeat the Red Nose. J.Laviolette and P.Levesque each scored second period power play goals for the Red Vipers, who took a 2-1 lead heading into the final frame. That didn’t faze Red Nose to start the third period stronger with back to back tallies, but that was as good as it got. The Red Vipers showed more determination by finishing off stronger. S.Cardinal bagged the winner as one of five goal scorers in the win. Unless Red Nose gets help from others along with putting together a must win in next’s weeks battle versus Hulkamania, their season will come to an end earlier than expected.

(6)Hulkamania vs Butchers(1)

N.Gilbert put up a third period show and Hulkamania took the game in decisive fashion over the Butchers. After setting up two second period tallies, N.Gilbert decided it was his time to score and score he did as the skilled forward struck three times for his hat trick. The Butchers struggled to get on the board for most of the game until M.Zampino’s third period marker solved H.Trahan for a rare time. B.Deslauriers scored once and fed the ball three straight times to N.Gilbert. In hopes of finishing in first place, Hulkamania will get their opportunity by trying to string two straight wins in next week’s double header night.

(4)Icons vs Bete Noire(6)

What a better way to approach the end of the regular season after a big win over the Icons. After dropping their first three regular season games, Bete Noire look to be in excellent form with the post season just around the corner. Out of their six goals scored, only two players handled the offence. M.Mavroudis and M.Destounis combined for hat tricks. Bete Noire had the better start jumping to a 2-0 first period lead and scored twice on three attempts with their five man unit. Although they aren’t secured a playoff spot just yet, the odds are good for getting in if they continue to play the same way.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Manny Mavroudis of Bete Noire. His three goals and one assist helped his club capture key points to the standings with only one game remaining in the regular season.
