Following halftime, Trigo tied the score at one with a goal in the second minute of play. Erik Chatoyan scored a 10th minute goal to retake the lead for the Nitros over the Bears. Burroughs was unable to convert on three opportunities to tie the game as Ian Major, Elkin and Jordan Seas had their chances in the 11th, 20th, and 24th minutes go wanting. Elkin finally came through in the clutch in the 30th minute to tie the game at two. Both teams ended the second half with a defensive display to complete the 2-2 tie.

Quote of the week

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.“
