The Icemen took a 1-0 lead in the first period when Tyler Murray set up Jake Ladouceur for a short-range shot at 7:28. In the 2nd period, the Icemen tallied three straight goals, with back to back goals from Billy Jackson and a single score from Matt Fiacco. Malone’s Shawn Legacy responded on a setup from Brad Fleury to account for all of the scoring after two periods of play. In the third period, N-N goalie Michael Burnett frustrated Huskies scoring attempts with a shutout period, backstopping the Icemen to a 4-1 final. With the win, the Icemen improve to 8-5-1 overall heading into their game on Saturday against Canton. Malone fell to 4-8 heading to their next contest at home against Canton on Friday.
