2018-06-11
In a back and forth back between the leagues top two teams the Bandits defense was the story as they shut down the Hurricanes in the 3rd period to take a 11-9 victory in what could be a playoff preview.

This fueled the Bandits up for the 2nd, where they scored 7 in this period alone. Hurricanes tried hard to match it, but came up a little short, with a period ending at 10-9 for the Bandits. The 3rd saw both teams defences' and goalies' play hard and protect their ends, though Bandits were able to get 1 goal in on the Hurricanes, overall winning this game 11-9.
