The Huskies continue to compete. They split this weekend. They beat the Panthers 4-3 and lost to the Sabres 5-4. They continue to score across the lines and this week the defensemen step in... firing more shots from the point. What do more shots mean? More chances for goals! Hunter #18 put a shot on net and scored the game winner against the Panthers . #6 Alec played an important role on #18's goal by screening the goalie and by maintaining a presence in the slot. Slot presence puts a player in position to tip the puck, collect rebounds and it distracts the other team.
Another defensive key play this weekend showed the Huskies are taking what they learn in practice to the game ice. The Huskies won a neutral zone face-off and the puck was played back with purpose to Nick #14. He promptly sent it across ice to #10 Tucker. This movement left James #44 wide open in the neutral zone. Tucker promptly passed it up to him and #44 took it in and scored with a wrist shot to the high left corner.
The Huskies continue to play as a team and not only work hard on the ice but work hard on the bench. Many boys are asking for direction and ideas from the coaches to improve their play in the game as the game progresses. Down 3-1 on Sunday the boys rallied back falling 1 goal short in the 5-4 loss to the Sabres.
