(3)Capitals vs Punishers (0)
J-F Aumais, Capitals shut out Punishers to open up season
J-F Aumais showed his teammates that he hasn't miss a beat. The goaltender stood tall making over 30 saves to earn an early season shutout. With that kind of goaltending, the Capitals did just enough up front to capture the win. Three different players went on to find the back of the net with goals in every period. Perhaps the turning point occurred when C.Bezeau notched a shorthanded goal for a 2-0 lead. That missed opportunity came to bite the Punishers, who for a rare time went scoreless.
(2) The Blast vs Bramabulls(1)
Late goal not enough as the Blast hang on to close win
It took a significant amount of time for the Bramabulls to finally find the back of the net. Unfortunately once they did, B.Sansotta remained alone on the score sheet and the Blast hung on to a tight 2-1 victory. P.Chery opened the scoring in the first period followed with Rubens Morne third period marker that gave the Blast a 2-0 cushion. It was shortly after that Sansotta cut the lead in half. Despite having nine minutes left over to even the score, M.Dorismond didn't allow any more favours. The net minder held the fort stopping everything his way. When considering how much the Bramabulls outnumbered their opponent, this result may have come as a disappointment.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to J-F Aumais of the Capitals. In his first game of the season, Aumais gave his teammates plenty to smile about as the net minder recorded a 33 save shutout.
