WON 2-1 vs IceBreakers (Cincinnati, OH)
Noel Klein shut down the IceBreakers early in the game as they started with the early pressure. Cai Davis settled the team down by putting the Flyers up 1-0 at 6:49 into the game. The goal was a sniper that hit the weak side post that was set up by Elliott Mohre and John Pfeiffer. Turnstone went up 2-0 early in the 2nd as Cai Davis almost had a wrap-a-round goal that kicked out to Tanner Pfeiffer who got the shot and Mohre tipped it in for the ultimate game winner. Cincinnati had a lot of fight left in them as they cut the lead to 1-2 with 3:16 left in the game. The IceBreakers continued to attach but the Flyers trap defense was able to minimize their chances.
Extra Nugget: The Flyers outshot the IceBreakers in each period and overall outshot them by 6. Turnstone is 3-1 vs the IceBreakers this season
