Both teams come into this week off losses as the Whalers lost to the Jacks 6-5 and the Blues lost to the Gamblers 2-1.  Look for both teams to be hungry after last week, the advantage goes to the Whalers as they will get their first win of the season by the score of 3-1. 

In the second game of the night we had the Whalers hosting the Blues. The Blues would get on the scoreboard first on a goal from Tim Barrett at 13:45.  The Blues would then go up 2-0 on a PP goal from Tim McAuliffe who sniped a no angle shot upstairs past the Whalers Kenny Lallier.  Although the Whalers were down 2-0 early in the period they would keep fighting back and they would finally get a goal from Ryan Quinn with 31 seconds left in the period to have the period come to an end with the Blues up by the score of 2-1.

In the second period the Whalers came out with momentum on their side and they would tie the score on a Ben Rouillard penalty shot at the 11:49 mark.  Shortly after the score was tied at two the Whalers would take a penalty and the Blues would regain the lead on a PP goal by Mike Anderson at 8:33.  The Blues then kept their foot on the gas pedal as Tim Sharek would put them up 4-2 with 7:40 remaining. The period would end with the Blues up 4-2 heading into the third. 

In the third the Whalers wasted no time getting within one goal as Dillan Pierce would score 12 seconds into the period and make the score 4-3 Blues.   The Whalers kept pressing for the game tying goal but it was the Blues Taylor Porrier that would put the Blues up 5-3 with 6:05 remaining. The game would come to an end with the Blues winning the game 5-3 and remaining in first place well head of everyone else in the league with a 5-1 record.
