The Kings got back in the win column in a big way, scoring 3 in the first and 3 in the 3rd en route to a 6-3 victory over the Capitals on Sunday afternoon.
Here’s some notes from the game:
- Drew Dorantes was a game-day decision, however wound up playing and scoring a pair. It was his 150th Junior A game, with time split between the Kings and the Tri-City Storm in the USHL. Drew’s also notched at least a point in all but 1 game this season.
- Matt Scarth returned from a 15-game spell on the sidelines following a leg injury and played very well. His pair gives him a goal-a-game through 5 contests this year. His most impressive play perhaps was an assist on Luke Nogard’s 3rd period marker.
- Jonah Imoo responded well from being pulled on Friday night. He let in a tough one (Horsman), but bounced back from both the Friday loss and the 2nd period goal to provide a real solid presence in net for a depleted Kings blue-line.
