(5)Lynx vs Fatal Demons(6)

Fatal Demons look dormant early until second period surge

It was all Lynx, at least for one solid period. Despite the slow start, the Fatal Demons refused to go down as they completely took over as of the second frame. Three consecutive goals had gone in before the Lynx would eventually level early in the third period. By that point, two minutes and change had gone by for the Fatal Demons captain to regain their lead. P.Santullo snapped a 4-4 tie, and for a second time during that frame, J.Mason bagged his third to even the score. Unfortunately for the Lynx, they couldn't go long enough without keeping the game tied or find the opportunity to pull ahead. Instead, A.Jalilvand put the Fatal Demons back in front with his second of the contest. Even though the Lynx pushed really hard at that point, they just couldn't find the breaks, especially with P.Assadi holding the fort.

(8)HC Mutts vs Butchers (1)

Butchers can't overcome a slow start to their season

Unless they address adding a couple of key pieces, the Butchers will be stuck going through hard times this season. They may manage decent starts keeping the games fairly close, but will be nowhere to be seen as the games go on. The HC Mutts exposed a slower side by pretty much winning every loose ball which only translates in loads of ball possession. And when a club has the talent while keeping the ball for long periods, it's only a question of time that they will make you pay. This win came with no stars or heroes except for an overall team effort. M.Maggiore and G.Perri had two markers each while T.J Hui helped set up three goals. He may not have been overly busy, but P.Delli Colli did make enough saves to avoid a closer contest.

The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Austin Jalilvand of the Fatal Demons. By being at the right place at the right time, the slick d-man collected three points that included the winner with only six minutes left in a 6-5 win over the Lynx.
