Game 158

 

In this contest between the Houston Bulls and the Ottawa Lynx, the Bulls took an early lead from an Ayodele goal less than two minutes into the first period. From there, things only got more contentious, with a total of twelve penalties throughout the game. At the end of the first period, the Bulls held a 2-1 lead.

 

The second period was aggressive and balanced, with Ottawa leading in number of shots 16-13. Marino of the Lynx scored in the 11th minute to tie the score. In the final minute of the period, Houston’s Scotty Sundin found the back of the net to take the lead once again.

 

Ottawa came out strong in the third period, scoring twice to take the lead. A fast response by Houston would cause a momentum shift, however, and the Bulls would cash in twice more in the third, giving them the win over the Lynx with a final score of 6-4.

 

Game 159

 

The Mexico City Kings squared off against the Mississauga Hounds, and the big story from this matchup was the offensive pressure by the Kings.

 

In the first period the Hounds scored twice on only seven shots, which was an incredible start for them. By contrast, Mexico City got off 11 shots, only one of which found the back of the net.

 

Puck possession in the second period was similar to the first, with the Kings taking 10 shots compared to the Hounds’ 7. The Kings scored twice while holding the Hounds scoreless in the middle frame, and they held a single point lead going into the final period.

 

The Kings outshot the Hounds 2 to 1 in the third period, yet the each scored a single goal (both in the 6th minute of the period.)

 

With a final score of 4-3, the Mexico City Kings picked up two points in regulation over the Mississauga Hounds.
