Future Squirrel Nicholas Sean Richelsen was born Jan. 11. Father Tony missed the game because he forgot what time it was.
In one of the oddest games of the season, the Squirrels came away with an 8-5 victory despite having only three men on the bench. The five goals was the most they’ve given up all season, but the eight was also a tie for the most they’ve scored.
Up 2-0 in the first, the Squirrels then surrendered three straight, but several fortunate bounces – along with some incredible passes – helped the Squirrels score four of the next five in the second period.
Heineken Light cut the Squirrels’ lead to one early in the second period, but Jon Danziger’s two goals (three total, plus two assists), padded the lead with more than ten minutes remaining, and the Squirrels held on.
The Squirrels remain in second place behind Blades of Steel.
