Game No. 51 - Bucks at Gorillas

Though the weekend obviously did not go according to plan, the Bucks did salvage two points with a 5-1 win over the Gorillas today.

Serge Dube, Darryl Smith and Ryan Miller each scored even-strength goals in the first period, and Igor Agarunov and Ryan Salvis had power-play goals in the third.

Steve Weidlich had two assists, while Brent Cullaton, Jaye Judd, Josh Bonar, Salvis, Dube, Smith and Adam Rivet each had one.

Andrew Martin made his first start of the weekend and made 27 saves on 28 shots for the win.

The Bucks took eight penalties but only had to kill six and took care of them all. They were 2-for-5 in their own chances on the advantage.

Because they'll be on the bus all night tonight, the Bucks won't practice until Tuesday. I'll blog tomorrow to catch up on the weekend, though.

Around the league, the big story this weekend was a few teams earning playoff spots. The Brahmas became the first Southern Conference team to do so, while the Mudbugs and RiverKings joined the Eagles in the North.

Other Scores: Brahmas 5, Blazers 3; Scorpions 5, Jackalopes 4.

NHL Scores: Capitals 5, Penguins 2; Hurricanes 5, Avalanche 2; Lightning 4, Bruins 3; Wild 2, Blackhawks 1; Maple Leafs 3, Rangers 2 (OT).
