My apologies to my friend and loyal reader Marty from Sartell who pointed out that I only did 16 score predictions when there were 17 games. Of course, I missed the Sartell/Sauk Rapids at Cloquet-Esko-Carlton. Sorry Marty!
I had 4 of the 16 incorrect. Let’s focus on those.
Eveleth-Gilbert at Woodbury
I figured this would be a close one as I had it at 2-1 in favor of Woodbury. Real life was a 3-3 stalemate. Woodbury held an almost 2:1 margin on shots. Through 2 periods Woodbury had a 1-0 lead. Eveleth scored two to open the third and take a one goal lead. Woodbury answered with two more of their own to take back the lead until Eveleth’s Anna Seitz scored her second of the game with just under 2:00 to play to tie it up.
Eden Prairie at Chaska/Chan
I had this one at 4-2 for EP. This one also ended in a 3-3 tie. The first two periods was all Chaska/Chan as they held the lead in goals at 2-1 and in shots at 24-19. Eden Prairie opened the third with a quick goal to even the game at 2s before taking the lead on a Nora Wagner goal. The lead was short lived as CCs Katelyn Roberts scored a couple minutes later to even it up at 3s.
Sydney Langseth has 1 and 2 for the Eagles. 6 skaters each had a point for the Hawks.
Simley at Dodge County
This was my upset special of the week as I predicted a 3-2 Simley victory. It did not come to fruition. This was all Dodge County. 5-0 final score. Shots were 28-14. Kennedy Kraus had the hatty. Sky Hughes with the shutout.
Princeton at International Falls
I had this one at a 3-3 tie. I figured Princeton has Maddy Peterson. But they have a hard time keeping the puck out of their net. I thought that combo might produce a tie. I was wrong. The final was 5-2 for the Tigers but I have no color to add as the box score has not been updated.
