Summary

We saw two low scoring affairs this time around, as teams had to fight and claw for their wins in closely contested matches. Vancouver had one of the strongest individual periods we have seen so far, putting up five goals in the second period of their game with Regina.

The Scarecrows have rattled off a couple of wins after their long series with the Montreal Impact, and look to turn their early season woes around. Janis Vitols had a nice game for Detroit, as it was understated how important his passing was in their game against the Impact. Vitols passing led to all three goals for the Falcons, notching an assist for all of them.

The Schmidts keep winning, as Mike got a victory for his team over the Force. He saw considerably less shots, and made sure not to let his team down. The Schmidts, although unrelated, are both playing well in the early goings of this season. They appear to have somewhat of a small rivalry between them.
