On Sunday we got the "scoring monkey" off our backs. Tonight we said goodbye to the "losing monkey" as the Storm defeated the Vaughan Flames 3-1. Everything went right tonight - good goaltending, enough scoring, a powerplay, and the ability to hold a lead.
The Storm's revamped lineup continually pressured Vaughan and created good scoring chances and some goals. In the first period Amanda and Mari combined for one of the nicest goals on the season on a high wrist shot by Mari over the goalies shoulder. Near the end of the second period Vaughan scored a powerplay goal after several unsuccessful attempts by the penalty killers to clear the puck out of the Storm zone. However, early in the third period Lauren N moved in from the point to score while on a man advantage. It was Lauren's second powerplay goal in the past 2 games. Jackie finished the scoring with on an empty net.
Next game is in Orillia on Saturday.
