WEEK 17 (thru Thursday)

The fields were fertile for Jake Gardiner on Thursday as the 27 year-old defenseman harvested 6.0 (3a) of his teams 18.8 points, Badger Bob catching and passing the Mooses while moving to within 85.2 points of first place.

Mooses: 36.7
Badger Bob: 37.8­
Without Brad Marchand the Mooses couldn't keep pace with Badger Bob, GM McCormick's squad still in this match however, the win-needy outside-the-playoffs team trailing the playoff-bound Bobs by just 1.1 points.

Polar Bears: 42.4
Ice Cats: 22.8
Lead by the hot-again play of Alex DeBrincat (3g, 1a, 12 pts) the Polar Bears were the league's best Thursday team, a massive 26.4 point showing placing GM Elya's squad 19.6 points in front of the Ice Cats.

Boulder Flyers: 39.6
Bluliners: 24.9­
It could have been a disastrous night for the Bluliners but they were rescued by defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic (1g, 1a, 6.0 pts), the Bluliners conceding another 5.8 points to their opponent, the Boulder Flyers now leading this heated Probert division clash by 14.7.

Vegas Vipers: 29.6
Ice Hogs: 29.9
With 30 of the 31 NHL teams taking to the ice the Vegas Vipers were hoping for more than 6.0 points. Six points is what they got, GM Miller's mostly swing-and-miss squad now trailing the Ice Hogs by 0.3.

SC Cobras: 21.7
Misconducts: 30.6
It was a bad day for all the snakes in the FHL as the SC Cobras also scored a scant 6.0 points, GM Murphy's squad now trailing the Misconducts by 8.9 points with six days remaining in the extended ten day week.

Wild Ducks: 24.0
Central Red Army: 28.0­
The Wild Ducks were better than the Central Red Army on the day prior to the four-day All-Star break, Evgeni Malkin securing 7.0 (2g, 1a) of his teams 17.0 points, the Ducks deficit now manageable at 4.0.
