Bluliners: 41.0After the Bluliners carded 6.0 points on Sunday, a late Robby Fabbri assist proved to be the difference, the Flyer forward lifting his team past GM Hamilton's slack-jawed team. The victory was only the third for GM Morgan's squad, his team still buried in the Probert division with a record of 3-11. The Bluliners slipped to the edge of playoff contention, their 7-7 record just good enough for post-season play. Overall, the Bluliners remain nestled in 4th place, their hole now 69.1 points deep.
Central Red Army: 58.1
Ice Hogs: 53.0The Ice Hogs made some noise on Sunday but the noise wasn't loud enough to catch the Central Red Army, GM Buker's team improving to 9-5 with the impressive victory.

Ice Cats: 28.6The Ice Cats were the worst team of the week, a 28.6 point effort leaving GM Cutshall's squad in 7th place overall, a thick 93.2 points behind the first place Ice Hogs.

With the best record in the league, the Misconducts are skating toward a first round bye in the H2H playoffs.
Between the Pipes: 57.3
