Fairbanks and Kenai River had byes last week and that allowed the rest of the teams in the NAHL Midwest Division to narrow the gap on the two leaders. Some teams did and some teams didn’t. In a rare Sunday afternoon game played at the Richfield Ice Arena, the Magicians beat Coulee Region 5-1 and narrowed their gap between themselves and the top teams to five points. The Magicians were one of the teams that narrowed the gap; the Chill by losing their third weekend game was a team that didn’t.
