PREMIER LEAGUE HOCKEY NEWS

- WHALERS EXTEND DIVISION LEAD WITH WIN AT HOME
- ALL-CANADA SHOWDOWN ENDS IN DRAW
- EAGLES TOO GOOD FOR SHARKS AT ALTITUDE

Game of the Day
Seattle Nightmare 3 - 5 New England Whalers
Hartford Civic Center, Hartford (Att: 14,510)

With one game to go in their first home stand of the season, the Whalers are three wins for no losses and streaking ahead of the pack. Benjamin Suffa's pair of goals for the team tonight were the difference between the Whalers and a fired up Seattle, looking to bounce back from their loss to the Aces.

This clash, which no-one preseason would have imagined would be a top-of-the-table shootout, emphasised the Whalers strengths as a team who move the puck around: four goal scorers made it possible but the passing game of - particularly - Tyler Wheeler and Steve Richburg (2 assists each) was what gave them the edge.

For Seattle, Alexis Paquette continues to challenge for the goalscoring lead this season with another marker. Paquette's goal tied it all up 3-3 in the third period, but it was then that Wheeler and Richburg seemingly came alive and set up first Benjamin Suffa and then Nazib Subayev for the game winning goals.

Elsewhere in the league today, Quebec and Charlottetown played out a see-sawing thriller that saw the lead change repeatedly as Billy Hodges scored a hat-trick for Charlottetown and Jason Chatenay a brace for Quebec to take the teams to overtime. Neither could score and it was all over, 4-4.

Finally, at Whitefall, Colorado flattened a listless LA in a game that featured 14 powerplays (although only two powerplay goals, one for each team). Jordan D'Agostini was the star for the home team with a goal and three assists for veteran defenceman.
