A battle at the top of the IRON league saw the Hitmen knock out the IceHolez 6-5 in a fiercely close contest that was also a penalty free affair (which is always nice.) The teams battled it out exchanging goals throughout marked by an IceHolez three goals in 41 seconds to close out the second period and bring the game even at 5. But Hitmen netminder Rob Ibriaco closed the door despite dealing with flu like symptoms and Scott Palfreyman netted the gamewinner and third goal of the evening with 2:32 remaining.
So the Hitmen jump ahead of the Iceholez in the standings-tied for first with the IceDevils who were idle on Tuesday.
The Black Bears played the Preds in the 2nd game of the evening-their first of three meetings for the remaining schedule. The Predators scored late in the first to tie the game at one but promptly let the Black Bears score with 32 seconds remaining in the period. A goal in each of the remaining periods vaulted the Black Bears to a 4-1 victory in a matchup of Iron and Federal League teams.
