The Jets pounced quickly in the second with a goal from Safi Ahmed to lead 8-5. Hoping to pull away, the Kings netted three more thanks to Johal and Matinder Dulku. With the game tied, the Jets’ Yusuf Ingar would net the game winner to give his team a hard-earned 9-8 win.
Nordiques defeat Bruins 8-5
The undefeated Nords took on the Bruins in a game that had both teams short missing key players. The Bruins came out strong with a quick goal from Syed Ahmed. The Nords responded with a trio thanks to Khan, Sandhu, and Kazi. The Bruins’ Sufyan Kazi would net back to back goals to tie this up at the half. The second saw a pair from Zaheer Kazi, who would finish with a hat trick, to give the Nordiques the 5-3 lead. Despite a strong Bruins attempt in the second to keep up, the Nords’ defense locked them out to hold on for the 8-5 win. Kudos to their netminder Karanvir Singh for keeping the Bruins in check.
