Friday's Box Scores

Minot 0 @ Bismarck 4 – John Roberts posted the lone shutout of the night in the NAHL, as he stopped all 30 shots that came his way in a 4-0 win over the visiting Minotauros. Newcomer Bartek Bison, who was playing in his first NAHL game for the Bobcats, paid immediate dividends as he recorded Bismarck’s first two goals to put his team ahead 2-0 early in the 2nd period.

Johnstown 2 @ Wilkes-Barre 1 – Tomahawks goalie Carter McPhail made 42 saves to help the Tomahawks stay in 1st place in the East Division with a 2-1 road win against the Knights. It was a low scoring affair thanks to the work of both goalies, but the Knights struck first with a 1st period goal from David Pennington. Johnstown had an answer early in the 2nd period as Samuel Solensky scored his 8th goal of the season. Early in the 3rd period, the game-winner came off the stick of Carson Briere, who scored on the power play to make it 2-1. Knights goalie Zach Stejskal made 31 saves in the loss.

Things looked good for the Black Bears through two periods as goals from Jake Sujishi and Max Borst gave the home side a 2-0 lead after two periods. In the 3rd period goals from Augistine Moore and Alex Frye knotted the game at 2-2 and sent it to extra time where a shootout was then needed.
