<div align="center">0-1</div>

Tonight's game started in the first period with Casper Ek of the St. Louis Scarecrows picking up an early interference only eight minutes into the match. Prince George collapsed on the opportunity and pulled ahead by one goal off of the goal scoring prowess presented by Karl Hertzberg. He received the helpers from Josh O'Brian and Tyrone Savage.

Moving into the second we saw an action packed roller coaster of twenty minutes with the teams going hard in the paint to turn the tides of the game. The teams traded penalties back in forth with Foster picking up two minors for high sticking and holding.

The third period really sealed the deal on a game that was definitely worth the admission price, because the fans got to see two of the games best go toe-to-toe in a hard hitting heavyweight brawl. With the Scarecrows gaining steam and being on the verge of a couple scoring chances, Jakobsson went into fellow veteran Danny Foster. The two duked it out on the ice for a good amount of time, and both teams were on their toes for the last few minutes of the game. To St. Louis's dismay though, they couldn't ride the coat tails of momentum and the game finished in a Prince George Victory, 1-0.

Tonight's Turning Point

Tonight's turning point was in the middle of the third period when Casper Jakobsson and Danny Foster dropped the gloves. This was a huge fight and stirred both teams to create an action packed defensive showdown to finish the night.


Player Comparison

- Danny Foster -

Foster had one of the most impresive physical night of the season so far. Putting up a crazy eleven penalty minutes as well as five hits and one shot blocked, he undoubtedly had the biggest skater presence in this low scoring game.

- Tyrone Savage -

Savage isn't a player who gets much time in the spotlight, but his Game 51 performance was a great show to watch. In some regards he played physically, similar to Foster, but also added two shots and an assist to complete his night.

Three Stars

1st Star - Ben Waters

Waters is the upcoming star goaltender for the Firebirds who has already made himself a name as one of the top young players in his class. A shutout night was the perfect way to close out his performance.

2nd Star - Kyle Wahlgren

Our second star is also a goaltender, and is one of the other premier youngsters in the S31 SHL class. Wahlgren has all the makings of a great individual and had a still night despite losing the game.

3rd Star - Karl Hertzberg

Finally, Karl Hertzberg rounds off the big three. Hertzberg really delivered with a goal, shot, shot blocked and two hits in what was an all around solid game for him. His continuous development will make him a name to remember.
