Raiders 8 - Knights 5

It was a depleted roster for the Raiders that showed up on Sunday night to play the Knights. Having only 6 players, the Raiders kept a simple game plan and conserved energy throughout the game as the Knights desperately tried to exploit the lack of players Raiders had out for the game. Raiders capitalized on turnovers after the Knights had a difficult time converting chances in close. Raiders on the other hand converted on all their chances as well as opportunistic bounces off the back wall. They also stayed out of the penalty box and didn't allow the Knights any power play opportunities. With the next five games against A division opponents, the Knights will need to capitalize on these situations or it will be a very long season.
