Friday night the Bucks scored three goals in the first period, three in the second, and two in the third to dominate the Scorpions on opening night. 11 different Bucks contributed points last night, as All-Star Chris Korchinski netted two goals and had two assists, while James Hiebert scored two goals with one assist, and rookie Brent MacSween picked up where he left off in the pre-season, scoring two power play goals. Captain Serge Dube handed out three assists, while David Walker had two helpers. Dustin Traylen stopped 19 of the 21 shots he faced in picking up the win in goal for Laredo.
The Bucks performed well on special teams last night, as they were three-for-nine on the power play, while killing off five-of-the-six Scorpions power-plays. Laredo also had a shorthanded goal, as Hiebert's second period goal came a man down.
Bucks center Jeff Bes is still one goal away from becoming Laredo's all-time leading goal scorer. He is currently tied with Chris Grenville at 120. Bes picked up his franchise-leading 225th assist in last night's win.
