WEEK 21 (thru Tuesday)

The marquee battle of Week 21 finds the Central Red Army in front of the Vegas Vipers, Matthew Tkachuk (1g, 2a) guiding his team to a strong 16.6 point showing, the Army now with the inside track to the postseason, leading the Vipers by 7.9 points.

Vegas Vipers: 8.7
Central Red Army: 16.6­
Worth noting: with regard to qualifying for the playoffs, the second tiebreaker is “position in overall standings” - which favors the Central Red Army. The first tiebreaker however (H2H versus each other) currently belongs to the Vegas Vipers; the Vipers having defeated the Army in Week 10.

SC Cobras: 17.2
Badger Bob: 6.5­
The SC Cobras were the best Tuesday team as Monday-hire Alexandar Georgiev posted a 42 save win - the Cobras carting a 10.7 point lead to a three-game Wednesday.

Misconducts: 4.0
Boulder Flyers: 16.0­
Andreas Athanasiou (1g, 1a) potted 3.0 of his team’s 15.0 points - the Boulder Flyers now 12.0 points better than the misfiring Misconducts.

Cherry Pickers: 10.2
Wild Ducks: 9.0
The goaltending tandem of Carter Hart and Frederik Andersen combined for 5.2 points, the upset-minded Cherry Pickers leading the Wild Ducks by 1.2 points.

Ice Hogs: 14.0
Polar Bears: 9.0
Connor McDavid collected three assists as the Polar Bears kept tabs on the heavily-favored Ice Hogs, GM Elya’s spoiler-alert squad trailing the league’s best H2H team by just 5.0 points.

Bluliners: 7.0
Rocky Rocks: 13.7­
Playing the injury-riddled Rocky Rocks, the Bluliners were expected to coast to an easy win. Now the Bluiners are banged-up themselves - Steven Stamkos and Elvis Merzlikins recently carted to the shelf.  As such, a monumental upset could be brewing, the manned Bluliners trailing the unmanned Rocks by 6.7 points.
