* Doan and Langkow are the slackers in scoring and they are now picking up the pace.
* Donuts 2/4 on PP while Predators went 0/2.
* Straka first to get to 40 goals this season and just the second to do it all time, last year Doan had 43!
* Straka now has 102 points an all time high for a Donut, last year Rolston gathered 81 points in 80 games.

Tomorrow a big game against Karlstad and the team is healthy, while Karlstad is expected to miss Modano.

Donuts eat Preds, Day 100

So it was a though game against a healthy Predators, we thought, but no...

As usual the opponent takes the lead first, scored the lone goal in the first period for 0-1 lead while Donuts shot 17-6 on goal.

Second period at 18 seconds Niedermayer (11) tied the game and then the scoring continued with Langkow (22), Sharp (9) and Rolston (19). Preds got a gaol at this stage and made it 4-2 but Niedermayer (12) shortly there after scored his second of the night and period to make the game 5-2 at the 2nd intermission.

Third period Straka (29) pulled a head in the internal scoring by doing his 29th on a PPG and Boucher (12) rounded it out to 7-2 late in game. 50-18 in shooting and 1-5 power play for Donut against 0-2 for Preds.

First star: Niedermayer, 2G 1A, tied for team lead with +3 for the night and 15-3 in passing.
Second star: Boucher, 1G 1A, 5 SOGs and 12-0 in passing.
Third star: Doan, 2A, 5 hits and 7-0 in passing.

Next game tomorrow in Karlstad and revenge is needed on Killers (although last game was A Donut win at home in OT). Donuts are healthy and Killers are missing Gionta, Eaton and Klemm. That should even out the odds a bit.
