Week Six Round-Up: High Drama and Late-Game Thrills

Final Score: Blackhawks 6, Jets 4
The Jets came out flying in the opening frame, matching the Blackhawks goal-for-goal in a high-octane first period that ended 3–3. Robb Chase, Steve Gottdank, and Peter Boyko all found the back of the net for the Jets, while Art Galloway, Kevin Bonello, and Giancarlo Agostinelli countered for the Blackhawks.
The game tightened up in the second, where Tim Broughton and Shawn McConvey stretched the Blackhawks' lead to 5–3. Scott Robbins added an insurance marker early in the third period. Although George Alexopoulos clawed one back for the Jets late in the frame, goaltender Bryan Saraka stood tall to preserve the win, handing Walt Skobel and the Jets a hard-fought loss.

Final Score: Bruins 5, Flyers 3

The Bruins built a solid foundation early, jumping out to a 3–0 lead in the first period fueled by a pair of goals from John Pappas and an opening marker by Bill Begley. The Flyers mounted a comeback attempt as Pat Mlot, Tony Kramreither (on the power play), and Dave McGowan scored to narrow the gap. However, Pappas completed his hat trick late in the third, and Paul Pimento sealed the win with an empty-netter. Tony Cioffi earned the win in net for the Bruins, while Andrew DeFilippi took the loss for the Flyers.

Final Score: Rangers 5, Stars 4

The Stars controlled the tempo early, building a 3–0 lead through the first two periods behind goals from Andy Suboch in the first, followed by a pair of goals from Ryan Keyes (one in the first and one in the second).

The teams traded blows early in the third period as Barry MacDonald pushed the Stars' lead to 4–1, right after Peter DiCresce had gotten the Rangers on the board. Trailing 4–1, the Rangers launched an incredible comeback with four unanswered goals. Patrick Lamarre sparked the rally with a power-play goal  with Keith Connell making the long lead pass to Brian Ahrens to register the assists, followed by an even-strength tally from Paul Peixoto and Lamarre's second of the night to tie it 4–4 with the Rangers net empty. Finally, Neil Matthews completed the stunning turnaround with the game-winning goal with just five seconds remaining on the clock. Keith Connell earned the comeback win in net, while David Smorenburg suffered the loss for the Stars.
