ODDS:	Gamblers by 2
OVER/UNDER:	6

Tuck comes into this game tied for first with the Lumberjacks. Tuck has been the most solid team in the league this year leading the league with a plus 10 goal differential. Tuck has the best goaltending in the league with Dan Rosen in the net and they are being led up front by Jed McDonald, Will Collins and Brandon Harrington has been helping them the last couple of weeks.

The Gamblers come into this game tied for 4th place with the Nords and although the Gamblers have been competitve in most of the games this year they have come up short due to penalties or too fatigued. The Gamblers have gotten better each game this year and they are being led by Dan Ammel along with the Lacroix brothers (Topo and Goose).

Tonight is the night the Gamblers put together their best game of the season and stay out of the box, the Gamblers take this one late 4-2 with an empty net goal.

Tuck came into this game tied for first and looking to stay on top, meanwhile the Gamblers have been really inconsistent this year and struggling to find some team identity with all the new faces they have this year. Tuck came ready to play as they brought in a crowd of students with them before the Thanksgiving day break, they didn"t let them down as they scored the game"s first goal at 9:43 mark as Marcus Widell took a shot that deflected off of the Gamblers defense stick and past Ryan Van Schoick. Just 30 seconds later Tuck scored again as Jed McDonald was set up in front of the net after good puck movement from Will Collins and Michael Boches. The Gamblers pushed back after these two quick goals but they were not able to get anything past Dan Rosen in the first period as he was on tonight. Tuck kept pushing for another goal and got it with 3:20 left in the first from Jed McDonald as he got a nice breakout pass from Will Collins to send McDonald in 1v1 with the D, who he beat and then beat RVS to put Tuck up 3-0 after the first.

The second period the Gamblers came out hard and firing shot after shot on Rosen but they couldn"t get one past him early in the period. Tuck"s Jed McDonald was able to score the game"s next goal at 12:25 mark in the period to put Tuck up 4-0. This was McDonalds third goal of the night and it was a beauty, he got the puck on a break out past, hit the jets and went around the Gamblers D and then roofed the puck high glove side past RVS. The Gamblers didn"t give up even though they were down 4-0, they kept firing shots on Rosen and they were finally able to get one by him at 5:27 in the second period. This goal was scored by Ryan LaCroix after the Max Wood set up a triangle entering the zone and then passing to Topo and then he passed it along to his brother who buried the puck. The period ended with Tuck taking a commanding 4-1 lead into the third period.

The third period started with Tuck coming out looking to put this game out of reach, they got their fifth goal of the game just a minute into the third as Michael Boches was able to bang in the puck after a scrum in front of the net that started on a Jed McDonald shot. About a minute and half later Jed McDonald and Will Collins broke out of there zone against the Gamblers defense 2 on 2, they were able to create space as they entered the Gamblers zone and Will Collins put the game out of reach on Tucks sixth goal of the night. Tuck would cruise through the rest of the game and win 6-1. Although the Gamblers were behind the whole night they didn't give up and continued to pepper Rosen but he was on tonight, ending the night with 40 saves.
