PHN’s Best Shots Of The Game: Bees Defeated by Bison 6-2

Posted on by

Stephen Matthews took charge of his second game of the weekend and Danny Milton again got the start in net for the Bees against Alex Mettam for the Bison,

An unusually long opening shift eventually ended at 6.39 as Bison’s Alex Sampford scored the opening goal of the game after a fast paced shift that had seen chances come at both ends. Josh Martin and Adam Harding sat out roughing minors at 8.29 and at 4 on 4 Bison’s Tom Ralph netted their second of the night at 9.16. A third strike for the Bison at 10.42 from Adam Harding saw Dean Skinns come on to replace Danny Milton in net. Sklnns kept the net clear for the remainder of the opening period which saw a scrap between Ryan Watt and Danny Ingoldsby see both sit out double fighting minors together with a 2+10 for roughing served by Ben Paynter.

A second period of long shifts was 17.46 old before the next goal in the game which came when George Norcliffe scored for the Bison to make it 0-4 and leave the Bees an uphill task for the final period.

1.31 into the final period Norcliffe netted his second ahead of a holding the stick call against Ryan Watt at 44.08 which saw him also pick up 2 10 minute misconduct penalties meaning an automatic game penalty. With a powerplay in their favour Bees scored their opener at 46.09 when Zach Milton netted but Harding replied for the Bison at 49.46 with their final goal of the game. The last strike of the game came at 52.40 when James Galazzi netted a powerplay goal for the Bees.
