WEEK 14 (thru Wednesday)

Defenseman Mark Giordano (1g, 1a, 6.0 pts) was all business on Wednesday as the 37-year-old rearguard successfully erased his team’s “thru Tuesday” deficit, the playoff-bubble Bluliners now leading their must-win (for real) match by 9.4 points.

Bluliners: 25.5
Boulder Flyers: 16.1
Needing a victory (and some help) to have any shot at qualifying for the playoffs, the Bluliners responded in earnest, GM Hamilton’s squad somewhat-comfortably in front with four days remaining in the week.

Wild Ducks: 11.0
Central Red Army: 23.1­
The Wild Ducks used Erik Karlsson’s 5th goal of the season to move closer to their quick-start opponent, the Ducks still with plenty of work to do as they trail the Central Red Army by 12.1.

Misconducts: 12.5
Ice Hogs:16.0­
Max Pacioretty (1g, 2a) provided the Ice Hogs with 5.0 of the team’s 9.0 points, Henry’s Hogs now leading the Wednesday-sluggish Misconducts by 3.5.

Cherry Pickers: 12.0
Lumberjacks: 19.3­
The Lumberjacks were held to 3.0 points but they still gained ground on the parked Pickers, the Jacks now leading this pivotal clash by a kinda-cushy but far-from-safe 7.3 points.

SC Cobras: 18.4
Polar Bears: 16.0­
Both the SC Cobras and Polar Bears carded 3.0 points on an uneventful Day 3, the Cobras still occupying the inside lane as Week 14 begins its gallop down the backstretch.

Rocky Rocks: 15.8
Baba Booey: 11.9
Rocky Rocks padded their lead on Wednesday, the Rocks outpointing Baba Booey 7.8 to 3.0; GM Rocky now nursing a 3.9 point lead ahead of a fasten-your-seatbelt nine-game Thursday.
