Samoskevich, Carpenter, and Elis Hede had good chemistry in the game and they led their team to a splendid victory.

Samoskevich said about the trio, “We are pretty good friends off the ice so it was pretty easy to transfer it on the ice.” Brendon Brisson scored a great goal and brought the lead to 6-1 for his team. Colangelo scored the seventh goal of the Steel. It was his fifth goal in the last five games. Uula Ruikka, the Steel’s defenseman, scored his third goal of the season and took the lead to 8-1.
