Jacob Markstrom has won six games this season - remarkably - five of the wins have been bonus-saturated shutouts, the Baba Booey backstop goosing the competition again on Thursday; the Booeys and their league-best 23.1 point performance drawing to within 13.0 points of 1st place overall.Lumberjacks: 20.0
Baba Booey: 44.0The Lumberjacks have posted one of the worst scores of the week. Baba Booey, the very best. You don’t have to be Carl Friedrich Gauss to do the math on this one, the soaring Booeys gliding toward another H2H win, the team leading the stick-jammed Jacks by 24.0.
SC Cobras: 29.1
Misconducts: 28.2With the women and children safely secured in lifeboats, Captain Smalley got back to the business at hand - plugging the hole in his sinking ship. A strong Thursday accomplished much of that - Kirill Kaprizov (1g, 3a) pacing a 15.7 point attack, the Misconducts now nipping at the H2H heels of the SC Cobras.
Boulder Flyers: 38.9
Rocky Rocks: 25.6
The Boulder Flyers were again better than their opponent as they outscored Rocky Rocks 14.5 to 14.2, the rising Flyers moving into 9th place in the overall standings - their H2H lead double-digit strong as they tape their sticks in preparation for a thin
two-game Friday.Cherry Pickers: 22.4
Ice Hogs: 19.3
Defenseman Jakob Chychrun (1g, 1a) did his part but Friday finds the Ice Hogs still trying to remove the “lowest score of the week” label; the Cherry Pickers - with a combined 8.4 points from Cam Talbot and Tristan Jarry - now 3.1 points better that their slow-roasting opponent.
Bluliners: 23.2
Central Red Army: 24.1Johnny Gaudreau (2g, 1a) netted 7.0 but the rest of the Bluliners did mostly nothing, the Central Red Army using two goals by Andrew Mangiapane to commandeer the lead; the Army 0.9 points better with three days remaining in the week.
Wild Ducks: 21.3
Polar Bears: 42.4
No one expected the Polar Bears to crush the Wild Ducks - but crushing the Ducks they are as defender Morgan Rielly (2g) guided his team to a 17.0 point showing, the doing-good Bears leading this so-far one-sided tussle by 21.1.
