(5) The Blast vs AREZ(3)

Special team goals in third rally Blast over AREZ

For well over two periods, AREZ looked like they had the game under control. But by giving up the next three out of four goals on the special teams, all that hard work had nothing to show for in the end. Looking back, the AREZ will point to a missed power play chance early in the third period as the difference maker. Rather than building their lead, H.Merone notched his second in a shorthanded situation to pull the Blast within one. That lone tally was just the beginning of the end for the AREZ. From there, the Blast would add three more tallies that included power play goals-from F.Tremblay and J.Laviolette.

(2)Bramabulls vs Capitals (3)

Costly penalties doom Bulls in tight affair with Capitals

After grabbing a 1-0 lead heading into the second period, the Bramabulls did a fine job keeping the Capitals off the score sheet for nearly two frames. Unfortunately, a pair of penalties late in the frame turned a slight lead into a quick deficit. The Capitals couldn't score 5vs5 but made their chances count up a man when A.Boucher and M-A Bernier each scored with the man advantage. With the games next goal being so crucial, M-A Morin was able to provide it giving the Capitals a two goal cushion with still plenty of time left over. The Bramabulls did respond shortly after courtesy of G.Bouchard but weren't able to level. J-F Aumais was stellar facing close to 30 shots to earn the win against a potent offense.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Hendrix Merone of the Blast. Out of his clubs five goals, H.Merone had his hands in four of them that included two goals and two assists.
