Nitro's score four unanswered goals to win Game #4 in OT

In an electrifying comeback game, the Nitro's came back from a three goal deficit to eventually win the game in OT.

There has been an ongoing theme of the Ghostrider's net coming off of the pegs, and I am not the only one noticing now:








The Nitro's were down 2-0 after one period, despite outshooting the Ghostrider's. I was afraid that Logan-Hill was going to be in another one of his zone's.

After two periods, heck, after two and a half periods the Ghostrider's had a 3-1 lead, and I was getting nervous. Garcia scored his second goal of the game, just after the half-way point. And with time ticking down in the third the Nitro's pulled their goalie. And just when I was about to abandon hope and close the broadcast and prepare for a best of three series, Perpelitz popped in a loose puck, tying the game with ten seconds left! I was ecstatic!

The game lasted an additional three minutes and 31 seconds as Pagura scored the game winner! It earned him the "Who's Hot in the KIJHL" recognition on the KIJHL website:

Even though Pagura scored the winner, and Perpelitz the tying goal, and Mousseau kept the team in the game, the Nitro's Player of the Game was Tyler Garcia. For the second game in a row Garcia was the player of the game, he scored two goals, hit the post, and assisted on the game tying goal. He is really having an impact on the series.
