Ice Playoffs: Squirrels 3, Wolfe Pack 2

Playing with just seven skaters in the first period, and eight for the rest, the Screaming Squirrels advanced to their second consecutive championship game Sunday with a 3-2 win against the second-seeded Wolfe Pack.

The Squirrels, who finished in third place and had a 1-2 record against Wolfe Pack this season, got a goal from Jon Danziger in the first 20 seconds of the game. Wolfe Pack tied it up in the first, then Charles Wolstein hit a knuckler through several screens to put the Squirrels back on top – this time only 15 seconds into the second period.

About two minutes into the third, the Squirrels turned the puck over in their zone during a breakout, helping Wolfe Pack tie the game.

With tempers flaring and plenty of penalties called in the third, Danziger notched the winner with only 1:35 left in the game. The Squirrels killed off the rest. Merritt Lyon made 30 saves in net.

The Squirrels will play the top-seeded DC Shooters, who didn’t lose in regulation all season. The Squirrels lost twice to them during the season. The game is Sunday, September 7, at 7:45.
