Whale Topple Falcons

The Springfield Falcons hosted the Connecticut Whale last night at the MassMutual Center. The Whale jumped out of the gates and took an early lead that would be maintained throughout the game. The Falcons would keep putting shots on goal but for 40 minutes they could not find the back of the net. After the same 40 minutes of play it was a 4-0 Connecticut Whale lead. Springfield would score twice in the third to make it a 4-2 game and pull their goalie with 1:32 remaining in the 3rd period. Nothing would happen in that time span. The final would be as it was after Springfield scored last 4-2. As the Falcons close out 2012 they will be hosting the defending Calder Cup Champion Norfolk Admirals tonight at the MassMutual Center at 5:00 pm.
