Cardigan @ Tuck
ODDS: | Tuck By 6 Goals |
OVER/UNDER: | 12 Goals |
Two of the top teams in the UVHL this season face off tonight as the top dog Tuckies(10-3-0) and Cardigan(7-5-1) prepare to battle. Tuck took the first match of this season, 6-4, between these two teams and the second was a 0-0 tie as both franchises couldn't field a team due to the holidays.
Cardigan will be without their top offensive threat, Owen Carpino, which gives Tuck a huge advantage. Carpino's league leading 32 goals in 12 games will sorely be missed, especially since he's scored 42% of his teams goals this season.
Tuck has been extremely good this year and are well balanced at all positions. Brandon Harrington leads the team offensively with 27 points(18g, 9a) and Mike Devine anchors the backend with a ridiculous 2.90 GAA and 8 wins. In between they are without a natural defenseman, but that hasn't seemed to slow them down.
Without Carpino and a short bench, Cardigan is going to have trouble keeping up with those Wicked Smaaaaht Kids from Tuck who practice 8 days a week and play another 3 games.
Tuck walks away early, 9-3.
