In the first of a three-game series your Anchorage Wolverines leave victorious winning 5-1 against the Springfield Jr Blues.
Fedya Nikolayenya opened the scoring just twenty-seven seconds into the first period going off the iron and in, to start the scoring. Springfield's Logan Ganz responded, tieing the game less then a minute after Nikolayenya's tuck. The first period ended tied at ones.
After a back and forth fast paced second period, Anchorage took the lead 2-1 on a power-play goal scored by #12 Kade Shea for his 12th tuck on the season. Shea showed some elite hand eye stick skill with a crossbody tip net front off Trent Powell's shot from the point. Scoring again with twenty-eight seconds in the second period Nikolayenya scored his second of the game off a rebound from a Cole Christian shot.
Wolverines entered the third period up 3-1 before going up 4-1 with a goal from Romo Riego De Dios who was all alone net front for a tap in from a beautiful Tim Kim pass.
