The Ice Dogs Titanium continued their dominant season with a 5–2 win over Action, improving their record to 8–1 and officially locking up a top-two finish and a first-round playoff bye.
Now, it all comes down to one final regular season game: a highly anticipated clash with Top Cheddar on Tuesday at 7:30 PM. A win would clinch the regular season title and give the Ice Dogs the top seed heading into the postseason.
Balanced Effort Propels the Dogs
The scoring started early, with special guest Jay Mazer making the most of his season debut by scoring just 2:58 into the first period, assisted by Dan McFadden and Anthony Flynn. Flynn added his own goal less than a minute later off another setup from McFadden and Mazer.
Flynn struck again early in the second period for his second goal of the game, assisted by Mason Teitelman and Anthony Amato, giving the Ice Dogs a 3–0 cushion.
Melito’s Goals Not Enough for Action
Despite a pair of second-period goals from Philip Melito, Action could not close the gap. The Ice Dogs maintained pressure and poise, anchored by goaltender Dean Harmer, who made 17 saves on 19 shots for a solid .895 save percentage.
Sealing the Deal Late
The defense held strong in the final frame, and the Ice Dogs walked off with a tough fought win.
