Pregame Notes 

• Head-to-Head: Anchorage had the lead on the series coming into this game with a 2-0 record, though it required a shootout win the first time and was able to sneak by in overtime for the second win. 
  
• Players to Watch:  LW Daniel Bischoff (2GP: 2G, 2A, 4P, 12 Shots)   LW Steve Harrington (2GP: 1G, 2A, 3P,  3 Shots)
  
• Bad Blood: Last game had a total of 50 penalty minutes, 2 fights and 1 ejection between both teams. Will they be able to play with a short memory or do they have posterboard material from last time?
  

1st Period
The start of the game had the Armada trying to carry their momentum over from the last couple games, immediately winning faceoffs and spending time in the Berserker's zone. Unfortunately that would be the most time they would end up being able to hold onto the puck as they only managed 4 shots all period, roughly one every five minutes leaving Newfoundland Berserker's goalie Ryan Aaron searching for ways to keep focus. On the other side of the rink, goaltender Sergei Potvinov faced a barrage of shots with few periods of rest, eventually surrendering the first goal near the end of the first with 1 minute and 9 seconds left. Armada's Augustus Wang takes a hit from Newfoundland's Patric Twist, resulting in 3 immediate shots towards the net where Twist takes the final one finds his aim is true with Berserkers leading 1-0. 

2nd Period 
Berserker's domination through this game on the shot clock did not stop as they continued to pour it on through the 2nd and scored a 2nd midway through. After the end of 40 minutes, the Armada had allowed 34 shots while only taking 11 of their own on net. Their troubles didn't end their as they also took an additional 2 penalties on top of the 3 already taken in the first period. Despite all the troubles they found themselves through out the first two periods, the scoreboard was the only place that mattered and they found themselves tying it with 2 goals scored in the last 5 minutes of the period with contributions from Mitchell van der Heijden (with an assist from Daniel Bischoff and Jay Reeves) and Bischoff himself with Ulrik Bergstrom and Augustus Wang with helpers. 

3rd Period
With the game all tied up at 2, the Berserkers found themselves  unwilling to back down and came out gunning early in the 3rd. Steve Harrington matched Bischoff's performance with a goal at 4:13 to break the tie. Fellow rookie Mattias Birdstrom netted his 2nd of the year with an assist from another rookie, Johnny Patey and Jakob Hamr rounding out the 4-2 goal. The Armada were able to pull within one by finding one more goal from Vladimir Khristorozhdestvensk (I never want to do an Anchorage game recap again if he scores) with assists from Bischoff and Blue. Newfoundland however found the dagger to the heart with none other than Steve Harrington finding the empty net goal to close things out and put the head to head match with the Berserkers winning the latest bout.
