Musicians beat Donut

It was a battle of two giants and one of the seasons trading partners, Donuts-Musicmen for a sell out crowd in the bag. It was though to be a low scoring battle, but the teams wanted differently. Statistically a close game with a little edge to Donut but a win in OT for the Musicians. It was a clean fight with only 10 penalty minute sin total.

As usual the opponents drew first blood, Holik in his first of the year. The answer came from Rolston (15) and Jagr (28), the later again taking the lead in the internal scoring race. No penalties in first and ended 2-1 to Donuts.

Second period, Jagr showed of ice twice then came Langkow (20) for 3-1. Filppula the former Donut drew close by 3-2. But Straka (28) not wanting to let Jagr glide away retaliated just 6 seconds after Filppulas goal. Lehtinen (18) scored toward s the end of period to make it 5-2 and the game should be over. But some dazzling moves by Gaborik scored just before the buzzer to make it 5-3.

Dayton pulled to tied by scores from McLaren and Gaboriks second of the night. Stumpel (16) stole the puck from Meszaros (former Donut) at his own blue line for a break away and scored with just minutes left for 6-5, that should have been the game winner! But Sundin scored a goal from in close just a minute later to push the game to overtime.

Once in overtime Datsyuk scored on the first shot of the OT after 30 seconds. Game ends 7-6 to Dayton, Not the goalies big nights..... For Donuts & different scorers to show the talent on the team. Sharp and Doan had to leave for the drssing room during the game for light injuries, they are both questionable before further assessments.

First star: Stumpel, 1G 1A, +0 for the night and 9-0 passing.
Second star: Jagr, 1G 1A, +0 for the night and 10-2 in passing.
Third star: Zubov, 1A, +0 for the night and 15-0 in passing.
