The Falcon men entered Saturday night’s matchup with a 5-0 record behind goaltender Scott Lewan . UWRF defeated St. Norbert by a score of 5-3 on Friday night, and entered the matchup at Hunt Arena with hopes of keeping their unbeaten season alive.
The Falcons would succeed in their effort by scoring five consecutive back to back goals in the third period to overcome a four goal deficit and take the lead.
The first period was characterized by huge hits and energetic play as both teams battled for the puck. Scoring the first goal of the evening was Green Knight Seth Soley at 6:55 in the period. Soley was assisted on his fourth goal of the season by Joe Perry and Cullen Bradshaw.
Serbian Janko Tipsarevic continued to build on last week’s Kremlin Cup success as he was fast-tracked into the quarter-finals of the St Petersburg Open.
Ryane Clowe’s shootout goal gave the Sharks their sixth win in the last seven games.
Ryane Clowe scored the lone goal in a shootout and Thomas Greiss stopped all three Pittsburgh attempts as the Sharks overcame a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Penguins 4-3 on Thursday night.
“We had no business winning that game after the first period. But we found a way to get back into it,” McLellan said. “It’s two points, but we’ll be discussing our starts. There’s no doubt about that.”
It was San Jose’s eighth straight home win over Pittsburgh. The Penguins earned their first point in San Jose since a 1999 tie but still haven’t won at the Shark Tank since a 5-2 victory Oct.
Russia have been dealt a blow ahead of this weekend’s Fed Cup final against the Czech Republic after their No1 player Vera Zvonareva was ruled out because of a shoulder injury. The world No7 Zvonareva said she has had inflammation in her right shoulder since last month’s Kremlin Cup.
“She can’t serve properly, therefore she has little chance against any of the Czech girls,” the Russia captain Shamil Tarpischev said during the draw at the Olympic indoor arena.
“I don’t think we can be considered the favourites now,” Tarpischev added after being asked to assess his team’s chances of winning their fifth Fed Cup title since 2004.
Zvonareva’s place was taken by the 27th-ranked Maria Kirilenko, who will face the in-form Petra Kvitova in the opening rubber while Svetlana Kuznetsova will take on the Czech No2 Lucie Safarova in the second singles on Saturday.
