The Enforcers goaltending was stellar for the second night in a row as Joseph Murdaca saw his first action of the season. The Enforcers offense however continued to run into the brick wall that is Henry Dill. The Enforcers were given six power play opportunities, but were unable to convert and gave up two power play goals en route to defeat once again, 2-0. 
Carolina came into the game looking a lot more like the Thunderbirds team that we saw last season, with swagger and vigor and pushing the Enforcers at every turn. Elmira was able to fend off the attack for the first half of the game, but in the second half of the game (after the media time out, which has caused issues for the Enforcers since their inception) the penalty kill, which had been perfect, gave up two goals.
As in most Elmira and Carolina matchups the final moments saw some scrappy incidents and the penalty sheet was something to behold at the end of the night with 16 infractions coming in the last 10 seconds of regulation.
Fortunately for the Enforcers only two games with the Thunderbirds remain on the season and both of them come in enemy territory in late December.
