                    Ottawa Lynx 31-13-2

 

The Ottawa Lynx have now passed the halfway mark of their schedule and are approaching not only the trade deadline but also the stretch drive of the VHLM season.

 

The past week was good for the Lynx as they compiled 7-3-0 record. While the past week has seen them edge 2 points ahead of the Las Vegas Aces, a ongoing 7 game winning streak has helped the Halifax 21st pull 7 points ahead second place Lynx.

 

Newly acquired Ryan Kastelic has helped stabilize the back end and provided some extra offensive punch as the Lynx now rank a close second in goals both for and against.

Roctrion King continues to lead the way offensively with 31 goals and 59 points. Lando Baxter has been rock solid on defence as well putting up 15 goals and 41 assists.

 

In goal Kallis Kriketers has played every minute for the Lynx and continues to shine. His .892 save percentage and 2.14 goals against average both rank 2nd in the league. He also leads the VHLM with 5 shutouts.

 

The Lynx look set to put the Aces in the rear view mirror and try to catch Halifax. They'll need all hands on deck to make up that difference in the final 26 games
