Comment 3: Difference Maker

Halifax Powerplay. In a 3-1 victory for the Raiders, their powerplay proved to be the big difference maker, going 2-5 with the man advantage accounting for 2/3rd's of their entire goal output for this game. St.Louis on the other hand squandered their opportunities going 0-3 on the powerplay. Halifax's leaned on their powerplay in this one, finding themselves with high quality scoring chances they looked to make the most of their shots, only taking 19 in the game, they were looking for the perfect play and they found it twice on the powerplay. Mr.Faceoffs ripped a one-timer home on the powerplay at 13:13 of the first to open the scoring, the goal was set up by Joseph Laraque and Troy Reynolds. Then later the Raiders powerplay struck again, this time to go up 3-1 early in the 3rd period on Derrik Montgomery's slap shot from the point, assisted by Gaspard Boone and Tobias Viklund. These two special teams goals proved to be the big difference maker in the game and thus the Raiders powerplay was a major factor in this key victory for Halifax.
