(5)Winter Soldiers vs Horsemen (5) S.O

Winter Soldiers salvage point thanks to J.Mckenzie late equalizer

The Winter Soldiers struck very late in the third period to force the extra time and collect an extra point to the standings. After scoring late in the second period for a 3-2 lead, J.Mckenzie came through once more tying the match with only 35 seconds remaining. Neither side was than able to get it done in overtime and in the shootout. N.Gikas tallied in the breakaways for the Winter Soldiers as did C.Doulis of the Horsemen. J.Hionis had a big night for the Winter Soldiers scoring once while setting up two teammates. The same could be said for the Horsemen captain V.Pandza, who scored twice in the third period to help force the shootout.

(4)Golden Knights vs Les Raymonds(7)

Les Raymonds score 4 goals in third period to beat Golden Knights

G.Delia scored an early third period goal to snap a 3-3 tie, and Les Raymonds just rode a hot stretch adding three more by the end of the frame. Despite being tied after 30 minutes of play, Les Raymonds felt something brewing ahead of them. A.DeCarolis and Y.Leroux added their second during that span as both players combined for nine points. On two occasions, the Golden Knights did take the lead but couldn't hold on to it long enough or build-from it. E.Larocque was their best player bagging two goals while setting up Y.St-Georges.

(4)Punishers vs HBHA Masters 37+(1)

Punishers power past HBHA Masters 37+ with furious third period

It was during the second intermission that the Punishers addressed what was needed in order to finish strong. It wasn't like they didn't play well enough or create decent scoring chances. But when you go two periods without scoring, the mind set to change all that was in the making. P.Karvouriaris sparked it all with his first of two while N.Pitsikoulis and C.Stamadianos each struck on the power play. The Punishers felt they had it in them to take it in the end. Clearly, the effort was there and the opportunities came naturally resulting in a four goal surge. For two straight periods, the HBHA Masters 37+ played exactly the way they wanted keeping an offensive threat off the score sheet. Maybe the only thing missing for them was getting that second goal that could have changed the dynamics of the third period.

(6)Fat Roy vs Hellfish(5) O.T

Fat Roy avoid miserable night

It took overtime to get the win, but Fat Roy can't be too pleased as to how things finished in the end. It's never a good feeling when you blow a 5-2 lead with four minutes left on the clock .The Hellfish came out of nowhere producing three quick goals during that span that included F.Benhamadi's second just shy of the buzzer. Normally that kind of momentum carries over but not in this case. The sudden death frame was two minutes old when Fat Roy regained their joy. B.Deslauriers gave his teammates something to smile about by bagging the overtime winner after just falling apart. As much as he deserves praise, Fat Roy wouldn't have gotten there if it wasn't for Y.Gazura's hat trick and J.Pantelis's pair of goals.

(4)United Armenians vs Team Haiti(0)

N.Chiminian nets 3, G.Follano stops everything, United Armenians explode in third

Playing a difficult opponent, the United Armenians weren't at their best for two periods. But they rebounded for the final 15 minutes as they scored four unanswered goals to get in the win column. Surely it helps when one player takes it upon himself to get the ball rolling. In tonight's case, N.Chiminian provided much of the offense by sparking g a natural hat trick. However, the win was attributed to a couple of other factors as well. First off, G.Follano was absolutely brilliant in net to earn a shutout, and second being that the United Armenians remained focused not swaying away-from a disciplined game plan.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Nicko Chiminian of the United Armenians. In the third period alone, the United Armenians forward went on a scoring frenzy riffling three goals en route to a 4-0 win.
