The Diamondbacks and Knights faced off on Sunday night for the first time in 2008 leading to a 6 to 3 victory for the Knight men. The Knights finally had their troopers in full gear for this one as they had previously lost to the Diamondbacks in their first tilt 5 to 2, so this was a redemption game and a game to prove to themselves they can outwork the D men and win. Knights got off to a 3 to 0 lead in the first half as they took it to their first place opponents by forchecking hard, winning the battles in the trenches, shooting the ball net and charging the net. Brian " sid the frickin Kid" Mcshane, Mark "i showed up for a game" Melim and Dipper "the maniac" Kaila led the way on the forcheck. These three center men were a much needed injection into the Brighouse lineup in this game. Also back from injury was Dan "no thats not a bruise" Ko who was solid on the blueline the whole game along with Kevin "Mickey" Singh, Nathan "Charlie" Brown and Mandy "they can't win without meee" Parmar. Robby "the fingerbanger" Kahle also had a solid game between the pipes. The Knights played simple and smart hockey for the most part by outworking the Diamondbacks which led to their offense and skill taking over and putting away the D men.
Clayton Weston had a goal and two assists and Mark Melim and Ryan Bhala added two goals each with Kevin Singh with the other tally.
