In the 3rd, the Rangers clamp down trying to hold the lead and they only fire 4 at Herron (and he stops them all. But Taylor gets one by Weeks with just over 9 minutes to go. But that clamping by the Rangers works the rest of the way and the final is 4-2 CapJack!

Barry Pederson won 16 of 19 faceoffs for the Ducks as they won 57.1% continuing as the best faceoff team in the league. Recently acquired Dan Bouchard was the winning netminder

Pederson got things going for the Ducks in the first, scoring at 7:46. Then with 6 seconds left in the first period, Bobby Clarke scored a SHORTHANDED goal on a breakaway to make it 2-0. That looked like a back-breaking goal as far as Brooklyn was concerned as the teams went to the locker room with the Rats having been outshot 16-5 and outscored 2-0. Greg Stefan was playing great goal however so…
In the second period, the Rats made the most of a very few shots (7 SOG in the period) as Mark Johnson (23) and Mike Gartner (12) put the puck past Dan Bouchard, to tie the score at 2-2. Pederson’s second of the game made it 3-2, still in the second period. And still in the period…Darryl Sutter scored (8) for Brooklyn to tie it and Bobby Smith (14)put Brooklyn ahead at 16:21. FOUR GOALS on SEVEN SOG for Brooklyn as Bouchard looked shaky.
The third period was again dominated by the Ducks, as they had a 13-6 SOG advantage but they could not get the tying goal against Stefan. Finally, with the Ducks net empty and on their final rush of regulation, Pederson took a pass from Middleton and SCOOOOORRREEEED to tie the game at 19:46.

Pederson, in addition to his hat trick, won 15 of 23 faceoffs as NCD won an incredible 63.6% in the game.
Greg Stefan made 40 saves for Brooklyn

THREE STARS:
1-NCD Pederson 3G HAT TRICK
2- BRO Gartner 1G 1 A 2 PTS
3- NCD Clarke 1G SHORTHANDED

Rogers cuts the lead to 1 in the first minutes of the 2nd period. Berglund answers right away to make it 3-1. 5 minutes later Terrion cuts the lead to 1. After that, it’s all Rodent Power as Brooklyn adds 4 more goals with Smith, Housley when it counted, and Sutter, Stastny a couple of empty netters late. Quinn with a PP goal for the Moose early in the 3rd.

Final Brooklyn 7, Moose 3

1st star – Housley 2G 3pts
2nd – Stastny 1G 3pts
3rd Sutter 1G 2pts

A Price penalty opens the door for a PP goal by Krushelnyski 8 minutes in. MacLean responds at the midpoint to get the lead back. The Chiefs then kill off 2 minors. Mac Lean gets himself a PP goal late. As the Moose look to take the 2 goal lead to break, the Chiefs say not so fast, and goals by Smith and Krushelnyski tie the game at 3. Intermission.

MacLean completes the hat-trick 6 minutes in to make it 4-3 Moose. O’Regan and Shedden then score 2 minutes apart to flip the lead, and it’s now 5-4 Charlestown. Moose keep it together and avoid panic city. A goal by Beers just under 7 minutes to go ties it up. MacLean with his 4th of the game with just over 3 minutes to go flips the lead back to the Moose, who then survive the pulled goalie barrage and survive.

Final Moose 6, Charlestown 5

1st star – MacLean with the Hat-trick plus
2nd – Krushelnyski 2G
3rd = Beers 1G 2pts

Goals by Charlotte right-wingers Glenn Anderson and Anders Hedberg put the Dynamos ahead 2-0 11 minutes into the contest, followed by a lengthy lull in scoring by both sides that extended through the second period. Following Goulet’s goal early in the third, the game remained tight until Charlotte’s Laurie Boschman delivered a knockout power play goal 17:32 into the period.

Al Jensen was the hard luck losing goalie, keeping his team in the game with 30 saves and surrendering just one even strength goal.

Three stars (all Charlotte):
Star 1: Anderson 1 G, 2 Pts
