(4)Fat Cats vs Fat Roy(3)
Fat Cats use overtime magic to take down Fat Roy
Playing down for long stretches of the night, the Fat Cats saved their best for last. They responded accordingly each and every time, and tugged the rug from underneath's their opponents feet with an overtime goal. Already with an assist on E.Panzera's second tally of the contest, F.Gentile capped things off with the sudden death winner. Three times the Fat Roy led and three times they gave up the lead. S.Hrivnak collected two points for the win, and G.Sangiovanni kicked off from where he left off earning another big win between the pipes.
(2)RBK Knights vs United Arms(4)
H.Jerjian's late tally puts Arms over the top
Defence led both teams in the battle of the net minders on Wednesday night when the United Arms edged out the RBK Knights. The United Arms struck very late in the game with only 30 seconds left on the scoreboard. The winning goal came from H.Jerjian, and R.Kenadjian out duelled S.Sauk with the extra save. The United Arms weren't happy with the fact of giving up both their goals in a shorthanded situation. S.Kaladjian and S.Dimakos each found a way to create their chances and catch the United Arms power play off guard.
(2)Kentucky Blue vs Hellfish(5)
M.Kardum's hat trick leads Hellfish in 5-2 win over Kentucky Blue
M.Kardum made an early season impression bagging three goals for a hat trick. The Hellfish forward scored twice while collecting three points in the first period alone before completing his hat trick by the third period. It wasn't the kind of start that the Kentucky Blue were hoping for. They fell behind 4-0 and only got on board when B.Pereira scored two incredible goals with his patented back hand fake to get the better of B.Verducci. By then, the lead was cut in half and the Kentucky Blue were hoping to build off the momentum heading into the final 15 minutes of play. Unfortunately the offense dried up and the Hellfish put a stamp to the match when M.Kardum struck for a third time.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to M.Kardum of the Hellfish. It's only the opening night of the winter season and M.Kardum seems to be in top form collecting four points that included a hat trick.
