PREMIER LEAGUE HOCKEY NEWS

GAME OF THE DAY:
St. Paul 2 - 3 Ottawa Nationals
Nationals Arena, Ottawa (Att: 17,100)

The Nationals recovered well from Monday's brutal 2-2 draw with New York to post a 1-goal win over the St. Paul Cardinals at home last night. St. Paul's insipid offence during the first two periods will take most of the blame: they were outshot in the first forty minutes by 24-9. Mattias Ohman scored his first goal of the season and his third assist, both in the first period, the latter coming on the powerplay as the Cardinals attempted to bully the seemingly exhausted Nationals. The Nats were too good, however, and with Jiri Mrazek out for four consecutive minutes - within four seconds of coming out of the box for slashing, he was back in for roughing Flynn Webb of the Nationals - Ottawa were able to get the momentum, and Trevor Spivak scored the powerplay goal.

A goal to Paul Plummer in the second put the Nats up 3-1 immediately before Plummer and Jake Brantley were sent off for fighting. A powerplay goal to Matthew Heximer in the last period while Spivak was in the box gave the Cardinals some hope of tying things up, but it wasn't to be, and the Nats went 2-0-2 with the Cards still searching for that first win, sitting 0-3-0.

Elsewhere in the league, the Chicago Cougars massively upset the Calgary Mustangs as Hoyt Carson scored 2 and Henrik Jensen saved 37 to give the Cougars a 3-1 win at home. Finally, the LA Sharks and the Michigan Stags played out a 3-3 draw at the Memorial Forum, with Thierry Lockett putting on a goal and assist for the visiting Stags.
