TRAILING they may be after this first instalment of the NIHL National Cup Final, but Hull Seahawks are still very much in the game against Milton Keynes Lightning.
In a pulsating first leg encounter at Hull Ice Arena, the lead changed hands several times as the clash see-sawed this way and that in front of a sell-out 1,600 crowd. In the end, it was two goals in six third period seconds that saw Milton Keynes Lightning take a one-goal lead back to their building for the second leg on Tuesday night.
As the building eventually quietened down, Ulrick was denied on a wraparound shortly after, while good approach play by Sobchak and Chamberlain set up Svec but he couldn’t squeeze the puck home from a tight angle. Just after the halfway mark, Toms Rutkis put the Lightning ahead for a second time - again from close range - at 31.27. Just over five minutes later, the Seahawks were given an opportunity to draw level when Tim Wallace was sent to the box for a check to the head.
