Motor City Downs First Place Indiana 4-1

The Motor City Rockers defeated the Indiana Sentinels 4-1 on Halloween night.


After falling 2-1 the previous night. The Rockers fell behind early when Jason Tynan fired a shot from the left wing circle into the Motor City net.


After 20 minutes, the Rockers were down 1-0, and had gone over 60 minutes of hockey without a goal.
However, what had been the weakest period of the season became the strongest.


In the second period, TJ Sneath chopped in a shot on a five-on-three powerplay to even the score at one aside.


Just two and a half minutes later, Jhuwon Davis finished a scramble in front of the net to give the Rockers the lead and Davis his fourth of the season.


Both sides would head to the locker room for the final time with the advantage at 2-1 Motor City.


The first half of the third period was scoreless, until Clay Hightower fired a shot that went top corner to extend the lead.


Motor City would seal the deal when Grant Bondy flipped a shot from his own zone's circle the length of the ice into the empty net, scoring his first pro goal and setting the final to 4-1 Rockers.


In the victory, Rico Gonzalez stopped 29 of 30 shots faced to earn his second win of the year.


Motor City ends the weekend at 2-2-1 on the year, and will head out to Danbury for a pair of games against the Hat Tricks. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30 with coverage on the Rockers Media Network starting at 7pm.
