If your team is in need of repair, there's nothing like a 40 save shutout to fix what's broke. Handyman Jonathan Quick provided that help for his Central Red Army team on Thursday, his 8.0 point game helping to place the marching Army just 15.5 steps from first place.Central Red Army: 36.6
Vegas Vipers: 34.5The Central Red Army erupted for 15.0 points on Day 4 - enough to catapult the team in front of the Vegas Vipers.

Wild Ducks: 22.0
Ice Hogs: 17.6The Wild Ducks aren't getting much production from their trio of highly-drafted Penguins, but they're uncovering points nevertheless, the Ducks netting 9.6 on Thursday to remain on top of the FHL heap. The Ice Hogs meanwhile showed signs of life, a 36 save performance by new-hire Anton Khudobin pacing the Hogs 12.6 point attack, GM Henry's pigs now trailing by just 4.4.
Polar Bears: 15.8
Bluliners: 36.8
Aleksander Barkov collected 5.0 points (1g, 2a) as his Bluliners enjoyed a productive 11.0 point outing, GM Hamilton's squad moving to within 3.7 points of first place. Meanwhile the Polar Bears are staring at what would be their third loss of the season, GM Elya's sinking tenth place team now 21.0 points back.
Mooses: 17.9
Misconducts: 29.4
A magician last week, GM McCormick will have to pull more points out of his hat if he wants to deal the Misconducts their first loss of the season, a so-so 7.8 point Thursday leaving the Mooses 11.5 points behind GM Smalley's unblemished third place squad.
Boulder Flyers: 19.1
Ice Cats: 25.3Another day another increased lead for the Ice Cats (where have we heard that before?) Matt Murray pacing GM Cutshall's squad with a sterling 30 save win, the fouth place Cats now 6.2 points better than the sixth place Boulder Flyers.
SC Cobras: 18.3
