Two late 1st period goals helped propel the Space Coast Hurricanes to a 6-1 win over the Atlanta Knights Friday in the opener of the METLeague South Playoffs at the Extreme Ice and Sports Center in Indian River, North Carolina.
The game was scoreless late in the first period, then Lucas Mollison scored at 14:47 and John Jennings scored short handed at 16:23. Jason Mattiace's power play goal at 7:41 of the 2nd, plus Jordan Schiller's goal at 12:41, put the Canes up 4-0 after two. Schiller scored again 11 seconds into the 3rd period, then Bradley Prevel lit the lamp at 10:45. Dylan Coffey scored 7 seconds after that to break the shutout, but Space Coast closed it out from there, winning the game 6-1. Nestor Logdal had 27 saves for Space Coast, who went 1 for 10 on the power play and 6 of 6 on the penalty kill with a short handed goal.
