In the first game of the night we have the Blues hosting the Jacks. The Blues come into tonight off a 1-0 win over the Gamblers last week and the Jacks are coming off a 4-3 shootout loss to Tuck. As anticipated both teams came ready to play as the first five minutes was back and forth action. The Blues Tyler White scored the game"s first goal at 10:34 to put the Blues up 1-0. Shortly after taking the lead, the Blues were able to kill off three first period penalties and remain up 1-0 after one period of play. The Jacks had a hard time setting anything up on the power play chances and the Blues actually outshot the Jacks even though they played the last half of the period down a man.

In the second period the Jacks came out a much different team than they were in first as they were flying around and taking shots from every angle testing the Blues Jay Seals. About half way through the second period the Jacks had a face off in the Blues end, off the face off Jordan McGee won the draw clear and hit line mate Sean Murphy who was set up on top of the circle. Murphy one timed the pass back from McGee and tied the game with 7:10 to go in the period. Both teams would have chances in the last 7 minutes but neither team could score again in the second as the score ended 1-1 after two.

Heading into the third with the score tied at one both teams came out even harder than they have for the first two period of the game. It was back and forth action with both teams working hard for every puck in the offensive end. The Jacks hard work finally paid off as Colby Laperle scored from the slot after his line mates Tim Patten and Jay Zanleoni won the battle for the puck in the corner with 3:48 left in the game. With the Jacks up 2-1 they were buzzing around and Colby Laperle would score his second of the night less than a minute later as he sniped a wrister past Seals glove with 2:51 left in the game. The Jacks would add an empty net goal from Sean Murphy (his second of the night) with 40 seconds left to give the Jacks a 4-1 win.
