The Dinosaurs simply got the best of the Squirrels on Tuesday, taking advantage of their long bench as the Squirrels were missing several key players.

Despite the six first-period goals and three second-period goals, the Squirrels did find some offense. Matt Ekinci stole the puck from a Dinosaurs player right behind his net and slammed in a shot for a 1-0 lead. Later, Charles Warner capitalized off of a turnover and deked out the goaltender, before Ben Sumner hit in a rebound off of Arie Stock’s shot as the Squirrels cut the lead to 5-3. That was as close as they got. Late in the game, Amy Reich made a pretty move down low, sending the goalie scrambling as she netted a power play goal.

The Squirrels played the Dinosaurs tighter than their past several matches Tuesday, even taking a 3-2 lead in the third, but the Dinosaurs proved to be too much as they won 4-3.

The Squirrels scored first, as Vivek Pinto backhanded a shot in on a two-on-one break. But the Dinosaurs scored the next two, taking a 2-1 lead into the break. Greg Hainer’s shot from the point on a bouncing puck found its way into the net, and Charles Warner scored less than a minute later to give the Squirrels the lead. The Squirrels got a power play late in the period and that proved to be a turning point, as the Dinosaurs kept possession of the puck, playing keep-away, before scoring shorthanded. A breakaway a few minutes later put them up for good. The Dinosaurs then killed off time with their possession game and the Squirrels dropped to 2-1 on the season.
