Kimberley Dynamiters storm back with five unanswered goals to beat Golden Rockets 5-2

The anticipation for this game from local fans was intriguing. Some were worried that with how Friday's game ended for Golden, that Golden would come out a blazing in their own barn; others were excited to see the win-streak continue. Golden did come out blazing, but they did not have a response to Kimberley storming their way back.

Game Notes
  • Both these teams came into the game headed in different directions. Kimberley has won 7-straight and Golden has lost 11-straight.
  • Brouwer started against Nelson
  • Webcast - felt empathy for the broadcast team in Golden, they showed up expecting the equipment to work, but it was a viewers nightmare, and they took the brunt of it.
  • Golden only dressed 15 skaters, suggesting injury struggles.
1st
Golden looked like they were going to dominate early. They scored their first goal two minutes into the game. Then followed up with their second goal shortly after the nine minute mark. Hesitation and concern growing. But the captain, Richter, had an answer as he scored getting the Nitro's back in the game. That goal was also the one that put him number one as the Kimberley Dynamiters all-time goal scorer.

2nd
Golden held pace with the Dynamiters, maintaining their lead. But then Doell scored his first as a Nitro shortly after the halfway point. The score was 2-2. The shots, 10-4, suggesting that Kimberley was controlling the play more.

3rd
Kimberley began an all-out assault. They led in shots 15-4. Hunt finished off a nice passing play between him, Buckley and Marchi. Moser got a similar break away chance, and this time got all-net instead of all metal. Then to finish it off, Meier, who was all over the ice, notched the fifth goal for the team. It was 5-2, and that's how the game ended.

Kimberley is now undefeated in the past eight games, and holds onto their 6-point lead over Creston Valley Thunder Cats
