Galt Nets Hat Trick in 6-4 Home Opener Loss
The Bucs returned to the ice this past Saturday for the 2013-2014 Home Opener. It was a hard fought game seeing the Bucs go up 2-0 early in the game. Sioux Falls would eventually climb back and take a 5-3 lead late in the 2nd. Ryan Galt did everything he could to get the Bucs back in striking distance with his third goal, completing the hat trick, early in the 3rd period. But it wasn't enough to bring the Buccaneers to a win against the defending Western Conference Champions.
The Bucs were without several key players due to suspensions and injury. Veteran Danny Elser and rookies Alec Rauhauser and Marcel Godbout were suspended because of the line brawl in the pre-season game with Tri-City. Returning players Willem Nong-Lamber and Michael Marnell were sidelined with concussions.
Buccaneer Goals:
G: Ryan Galt A: Patrick Grasso, Garret Cockerill
