Shortly afterwards, afterwards, Hooper's had a two man advantage for 1:27, but were unable to score. Surprised to find themselves themselves still in the game, Hockin made the most of it. Veno scored his"second of the niglu with 1:53 left in the game on a slapshot from the point that beat a screened Gentian. The power play marker pulled Hockin to within one at 6-5. But, with just under a minute minute to go, Heard intercepted an errant pass in the neutral zone and his blast from just inside the bluclinc restored Hooper's two-goal advantage. advantage.
