Thanks, Bern! In this five-player session, lots of points were up for grabs in tonight’s return to action. Stefan never had less than three points in any of the games and finished at 17G-6A to lead the way with the second-highest point total seen in VRH in low-scoring 2012, and the highest goal total in any league this year. Were it not for Rob being shutout in Game 1, he may have just taken the day as he finished three points behind at 10G-10A. Just a point behind Rob in third was Oliver at 12G-7A. Dom had another masterful day in goal with .853 on 93 saves and a shutout compared to Sam’s .729/70.
