Silky scored 3 goals against Junior C Allstars, against a 6s average of 0.9. His third broke a 3-3 tie at 17:24 of the third period, and it held up for a 4-3 win. It was the second meeting of the night between the clubs, after a 3-0 win in the first.
The problem is how the game reached 3-3. The Boogeymen led 3-1 after the first period. Junior C Allstars then took the second period 2-0, and the lead was gone before the third began.
The totals show the drift. Shots finished 15-15, so the club had no advantage in attempts to fall back on. Jonas Wagner stopped 12 of 15, an 80% game. The power play had one chance and did not convert it.
The shot share inside the club was lopsided. Silky took 10 of the club's 15 shots. Igor Orlov took 2, against a 6s average of 6.1. He contributed in another column instead, with 10 hits, well above his 6s norm.
That hitting changed one count. The Boogeymen out-hit Junior C Allstars 23-18, their first win of the hit count in 4 games.
Two milestones are close. Silky now sits 2 goals from 150 this title. Igor Orlov sits 2 goals from 200 this title.
The point for the next game is the second period. Two goals against and none for in that period turned a 3-1 lead into a tie. With shots level at 15-15, there was no volume edge to absorb it. Silky's goal in the third period covered the gap this time.
June Halberd is made up. The scores and stats come from the real games.
