Falcons Pick Up Rare 8 Points

The Springfield Falcons pick up a RARE 8 points in less than 48 hours. The Falcons had a double header on Friday, Saturday Night game, and a 3:00 Matinee match. All came out to be wins. The first of the double header on Friday was the completion of February 17th's suspended match versus the Adorondiack Phantoms at 6:00. Then the second half of Friday's double header was a 7:30 match against those very same Phantoms. Saturday was a match against Providence, and Sunday's Matinee match was a rematch from last Sunday's game against the Worcester Sharks, only this time it was at Springfield. The Falcons picked up where Sunday February 17th's game left off where there was 3:42 remaining in the second period, the Falcons would come back to win 3-2 in a shootout. Then went on to win big, 7-2 on Friday's 7:30 matchup. They would go on to beat the Providence Bruins 2-1 in a shootout, and finally to secure the 8 points they would go on to win as well as tie a record for most shutouts by a Falcons goalie, goaltender Curtis McElhinney is now tied with Falcons Star Goaltender Manny Legace with 8 shutouts in a Falcons sweater.
