UPPER VALLEY HOCKEY LEAGUE

In the first game of the night we have the Blues hosting Tuck.  The Blues come into tonight after an extend holiday break as they had a week off last week.  Tuck is coming into tonight off an 8-2 loss to the Jacks. Look for the Blues to jump out to an early lead and never look back as they cruise to a 5-0 win. 

In the first game of the night we have the 1st place Blues hosting the last place Tuck. Tuck is coming into this week off an extended holiday break, the Blues would waste no time jumping out to a 2-0 lead on goals from Brian Smith at 6:13 and Mike Anderson at 1:29 mark. The period would end with the Blues up 2-0. 

In the second period Tuck would get on the scoreboard on a goal from Matt Tierney to cut the lead to one with 12:51 remaining in the period.  The Blues would get that goal back 50 second later as Tim Barrett would put the Blues up 3-1 with 11:37 remaining in the period. Tuck's Brent Bates would cut the lead to one again when he would score at 7:10 mark in the period. The period would end with the score 3-2 heading into the third. 

In the third it was the Blues Mike Anderson scoring his second goal of the night and putting the Blues up 4-2 with 10:09 remaining. Although Tuck was down two goals, they would battle back as Matt Tierney would score his second goal of the night and make the score 4-3 with 8:57 remaining.  Then at 6:04 Matt Tierney would notch his 3rd goal of the night for a hat trick with 6:04 remaining.  Regulation would come to an end with the score tied at 4 and we would head into a shot out. 

In the shootout Tuck would go on to win after 26 shots were taken in the shootout. I unfortunately don't have the name who scored the game winner but Tuck win's their first game of the 2019-20 season!
