Game Recap: Game 254 - DC Dragons vs London United

A low scoring contest between these 2 teams may seem uneventful at first glance, but there were a few notable highlights when we take a deeper dive into the action. Only 3:36 into the 1st period and the first of many penalties would come, this one being a 2 minute minor to Leonard Triller (LDN) for Goalie Interference. Fortunately for the United, they stand firm and kill off this penalty. Half way through the 1st, Vincent Laroche-Gagnier (DCD) would head to the box for Holding, but the D.C. Dragons penalty killers would fight this 1 off like London did theirs. Despite this kill, 2 minutes after the penalty expired, a series of chances first spawned from a shot by Halvar Torbjorn that would hit the post. The rebound was then shot by Halvar Torbjorn less than 2 seconds later, which would go narrowly wide of the net on the short-side.. only for the pick the bounce right back out into the slot onto Sjin’d stick. No mistakes here- Sjin opens the scoring for London with his 15th of the season, assisted by Halvar Torbjorn for his 21st assist on season. London heads to the dressing from for the 1st intermission leading in shots, 13-9, in a very close game. 

The 2nd period is where DC decided to dominate the United, taking advantage of a 5-on-3 power play given to them early in the period. Lloyd Braun (LDN) would get the gate for Tripping at 0:55 and 4 seconds later, Scoish Velociraptor Maloish (LND) would join him for Roughing. Mark Calaway would tie up the game scoring his 13th of the season on the ensuing power play for the Dragons, assisted by The Frenchman who would get his 34th assist this season! 16:32 of 2nd period Jason (DCD) would get a senseless call for Interference. Good thing the Dragons were playing red hot this period, and Lucas Grey would end up scoring a short handed goal anyways which would go on to be the game winner! This marked his 17th goal on the season, assisted by Mark Calaway (getting his 21st assist) and Ben Laas (getting their 18th assist). The game resulted in a total of 36 shots to 25 in favour of D.C. who was also able to kill off both of their penalties, while London failed to stay out of the box as often and when they went down on a 5-on-3 it sealed their fate for the rest of the game. The 3 Stars of the Game were: Sjin (LDN) taking the 3rd star, having the like goal for London; the 2nd star was Henry Tucker Jr (DCD) who had a wonderful performance in net, stopping 24/25 shots (0.960 save%) gaining his 18th win; and 1st star of the game being Mark Calaway (DCD) who scored the game tying goal and assisted on the short-handed game winning goal.

Final Score: 2 - 1 for the D.C. Dragons.
