Week Seven Round-Up: Jets snap a six-game losing streak

Final Score: Bruins 6, Stars 5
The Bruins and Stars played a back-and-forth battle early on, ending a high-octane first period tied 2–2. Chad Cousineau opened the scoring for the Stars, followed by a response from John Pappas and a goal by Bill Begley (assisted by Greg McLachlan and Kevin Kurnik) for the Bruins. Chris Ballanger added another for the Stars before the period closed out, with assists from Ray Niepage and Grant Stummer.

The Stars edged ahead in the second period as Cousineau netted his second of the night. However, the Bruins exploded in the third period with a dominant four-goal surge. Begley caught fire with three goals in the frame—scoring unassisted, then with an assist from Michael Hasen, and another set up by Paul Pimento and Lee Horigan—while Jason Pfeffer also chipped in a goal assisted by Pappas. Andrew Miocevich and Ballanger managed to claw back late goals for the Stars, but goaltender Tony Cioffi held on to preserve the win, handing David Smorenburg and the Stars a tough defeat.

Final Score: Jets 8, Rangers 2
The opening two periods were tightly contested, with the teams deadlocked after a scoreless first before the Rangers' Rick Dymon opened the scoring in the second. The Jets quickly responded with goals from John Germain and Steve Smith (assisted by Walt Skobel) to take a 2–1 lead into the intermission.

The game blew wide open in the third period as the Jets poured in six unanswered goals to pull away completely. Germain added his second of the night, John Marsden notched a hat trick, Steve Gottdank scored on the power play (assisted by Paddy Lloyd), and Larry Stewart rounded out the scoring. Tim Wheeldon managed a lone goal for the Rangers in the third, but Andrew King—subbing in net for the Rangers—suffered the loss as Walt Skobel and the Jets cruised to a victory.

Final Score: Blackhawks 3, Flyers 2
The Blackhawks struck first in a closely contested opening frame when Tim Broughton scored, assisted by Art Galloway. The Flyers answered back strongly before the period ended, courtesy of a goal from Tony Kramreither and an even-strength tally by Pat Mlot (assisted by Reinhart Kramreither) to take a 2–1 lead.

The Blackhawks regrouped in the second period, drawing even when Giancarlo Agostinelli found the back of the net off a feed from Mark Dilworth. In the third, Galloway scored the go-ahead goal, assisted by Ron Cottes, to complete the comeback. Goaltender Bryan Saraka stood tall the rest of the way to secure the win, handing Andrew DeFilippi and the Flyers a narrow loss.
