Game #10

Period Length

The second period was dominated by the Wolves, but the only scoring in the period would once again come on a power play, as Riverview was called for interference with just under nine and a half minutes to play. With just twenty seconds to go in the penalty, the Newsome forward was able to fire home a shot from inside the left circle that went up and over the Ice Sharks goaltender. Newsome's second power play goal of the game gave them a 2-0 lead, which would stand into the final intermission.

Riverview finally got a power play opportunity of their own just thirty seconds in to the period when Drew managed to draw a cross-checking penalty on a Wolves skater. Unfortunately, despite getting some quality looks on goal, the Ice Sharks were unable to score. Riverview gave Newsome their third power play of the game with just under five minutes to play, as they were once again called for tripping a Wolves skater. Thankfully the Ice Sharks were able to kill this penalty off, preventing the Newsome lead from growing further. Finally, with just 1:25 to play, the Ice Sharks broke through. They had gone quite some time without getting a shot on goal, but they made this one count, firing home a shot from the left circle that went up and over the Newsome goaltender. The goal narrowed the deficit to 2-1, but that was as close as they could make it, despite getting the last three shots of the game on the Wolves net. The final whistle blew with the score still at 2-1, with the Ice Sharks on the short end of the stick. Next time, boys!
