KNIGHTLY RECAP
Last weekend, the Silver Knights hosted the San Jose Barracuda, where Henderson swept the series with back-to-back wins. The first contest, Feb. 2, was neck-and-neck with the two teams scoring right after one another for each of the first three goals. Paul Cotter gave the Silver Knights the lead with his second goal of the night and furthered that lead by completing his first professional hat trick, the first from Henderson this season, in the final nine seconds of the game. The other two goals came from Peter DiLiberatore and Pavel Dorofeyev. Henderson won the contest, 5-3.
On the Feb. 3 matchup, Henderson defeated San Jose, 6-3. The scoring began for Henderson by taking over a two-point deficit in the second period, with goals from Jonas Rondbjerg, Paul Cotter and Gage Quinney. The lead was furthered in the final frame when Jake Leschyshyn earned a powerplay goal. Leschyshyn was followed by a second goal netted by Quinney. Ben Jones capitalized on an empty net, scoring the sixth and final goal of the night, resulting in the 6-3 win for the Silver Knights. Quinney earned four-points during the contest, the second Silver Knight to do so in team history.
