Week Two Round-Up: Still undefeated hockey happening!
The Stars maintained their perfect start to the season with a decisive 5–1 victory over the Bruins, driven by five unanswered goals.
The Bruins opened the scoring midway through the first period when Paul Pimento converted a pass from Kevin Kurnik. However, the undefeated Stars quickly dominated the rest of the frame, striking three times with goals from Joel May, Barry MacDonald, and Andrew Miocevich to take control. Ray Niepage added a fourth goal late in the second, and Miocevich capped off the night with his second marker in the final minute. Goaltender David Smorenburg picked up the win between the pipes, while Richard Clements took the loss.
Rangers Rally in Third Period to Top Jets 4–2
A dominant three-goal third period propelled the Rangers to a 4–2 victory over the Jets.
John Marsden put the Jets on the board in the first period, finishing a setup from George Alexopoulos and Carl Weichel. The Rangers responded in the second frame when Paul Peixoto scored off a pass from Patrick Lamarre to knot the game. Mark Cabrey gave the Rangers their first lead early in the third, followed by two back-to-back goals from Lamarre to put the contest away. Glen Chiasson scored late for the Jets, but Rangers netminder Keith Connell held on to secure the win as Walt Skobel took the loss.
Blackhawks Complete Second-Period Comeback to Remain Perfect: Blackhawks 4, Flyers 3
The Blackhawks kept their undefeated record intact, overcoming an early two-goal deficit to pull out a dramatic 4–3 victory over the Flyers.
The Flyers seized early momentum in the opening period with a pair of goals from Dave McGowan and Jeff Boyes. The undefeated Blackhawks stormed back in the second frame with three straight tallies, as Lou Sirianni and Art Galloway scored just 31 seconds apart before Kevin Bonello netted a power-play goal. After McGowan tied the game for the Flyers in the third period, Peter Herrmann answered at the 7:20 mark to notch the game-winner. Goalie Bryan Saraka earned the win, while Andrew De Filippi absorbed the loss.
