Dragons catch break to even the score with Les Yables
To their credit, the Dragons made a valiant effort to overcome a 3-0 deficit only to fall short in the end. Perhaps Les Yables figured they had it in the bag but clearly it wasn't the case. Already with a goal, A.Gervais came to rescue his club fairly late in the game. D.Marcotte scored shortly after for his third point and Les Yables were glad to escape with the victory. The second contest appeared to have a similar effect going on with Les Yables grabbing a 2-0 lead after one period. But after taking an unfortunate high sticking penalty, the Dragons smelled blood knowing that they had five long minutes to score as many as they can. Surely, they would have been satisfied with at least two but the Dragons went for the kill when B.Barile snapped a 2-2 tie. All three goals came on the power play for the Dragons, who took advantage of the situation.

Les Immigrants hard work pays off
There's no mystery on what Les Immigrants will do to any opponent on any given night. Tonight, was a clear case on how hard work will often make a difference. By frustrating the Yellow T-Shirts with their incredible work Ethic, Les Immigrants put themselves in the driver's seat in both games. The first one had them up 3-0 before taking it 4-3, and the second contest was comparable as they never once trailed before taking it in the shootout. A.Zeinalian notched two goals in the opening contest while the captain H.Garabedian got credited the winner. As for the second match, three different players found the back of the net that set the stage for A.Addante to riffle the lone shootout marker. Both wins can also be attributed to R.Ricaurte, who was sound between the pipes.

Captain J.Kontitsis hasn't forgotten how to score
J.Kontitsis and his hat trick in the opening game handed the LG HC a 4-0 loss. This was an overall great start to the night as everything seemed to go right from-the get go. C.Stavriadis wasn't broken once as the net minder stopped some highly skilled players to earn a shutout. In hopes of responding for a better fate, the LG HC still couldn't score until entering the second period. By then, the Armadillos had built a 2-0 lead before finally giving up not one but two quick goals in a row. The problem was that the Armadillos immediately responded in a big way. P.Lapointe and G.Bouchard each scored their second followed with P.Legatos and Bouchard's hat trick in an empty cage. That sequence took place in the short span of only three and a half minutes.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Robert Ricaurte of Les Immigrant. The net minder was definitely hot posting back to back wins that included him denying three straight shootout attempts.
