After the two teams exchanged goals in the first half (Kukkonen - Kings, Brady Meyer - Bruins), the Bruins Sam Wilhite got the scoring started early in the second when he scored in front of the net. Blaine's Will Hillman cleaned up some garbage in front to extend the Bruins lead to 3-1 in the middle of the third. Late in the game, the Kings made things interesting when Tate Stanfield scored on the powerplay set up by Trevor Kukkonen and Ethan Darby.

The Kings effort came up short Sunday, but did not go unnoticed over the weekend going 2-1-1 despite missing stars Nikolai Jensen, Jake Hale and Cullen Vinar.

The Bruins salvaged their weekend going 2-2 and are in second place behind the Bolts with a 4-3 record.

The Wild upped their record to 3-3-1 with a nice 3-2 win over the undefeated Devils Sunday at the Moorhead Youth Rink.

After leading 2-0, the Devils came out on fire in the second half scoring on the first shot on a slapper by Darian Gotz. Then Hunter Paine scored a few minutes later to tie it at 2-2. The momentum was slowly tipping in the Devils favor. 

With just over seven minutes to go, the Devils took a hooking penalty putting Kittleson and the Wild on the PP. After a two pass exchange in the corner with Luke Herzog, Kittleson walked out from the hash mark and put the puck past a screened Ryan Ullan for the GWG.

The Wild hung on from there. Evan Foss turned away 10 shots for the Wild to help them get their record back to .500. The Devils fell to 3-1 for the weekend...they will take on the North Stars next Saturday in a battle of the North Doubleheader.

The Flyers came to Moorhead with only 9-10 skaters depending on the day, but left with three important wins and eight valuable points in the standings. Playing without leading scorers Matt Gleason, Grant Silianoff, and Killian Kiecker-Olson, the Flyers replacement Coach Mike Docter pieced together a good strategy, got some great goaltending and timely goals for a successful weekend.

St. Paul's Ben Stucker came into the weekend as a substitute player for the Wild. In his three game stint he logged four points for the Wild as they went 2-2. More impressive than his point production was Stucker's grit and determination. After taking two wicked shots off his foot, Stucker kept coming back for more.

With the Wild up by a goal in the final minute and a timeout called, Coach Gerry Anderson selected Stucker to take the ice. The Wild preserved the win diving and blocking shots, one on a rocket by Devils Defenseman Darian Gotz. Anderson was asked after the game who blocked the big shot, he said, "Joey (his son and Assistant) asked who he wanted on the ice for the last shift and I said Stucker, he'll block a shot...tah-dah...he blocked the big one!"
