Tuesday, December 31: Springfield 5 @ WBS 4 (SO)
Before 2020 could begin, we had to get rid of 2019. Such was the case for the WBS Penguins as well, who welcomed the Springfield Thunderbirds to town for a New Year’s Eve matinee to open the week.
WBS struck first and struck quickly, as Sam Miletic and Andrew Agozzino scored their 7th and 12th goals of the season (respectively) within 18 seconds of each other in the first period.
The momentum quickly shifted, though, as Springfield rattled off three in a row over a span of 5:07 later in the first thanks to Paul Thompson, Dryden Hunt, and the returning Ryan Haggerty.
