SWOLL Week 3: Redemption and a Shootout for the Ages!

Week 3 of SWOLL action is in the books, and it did not disappoint! After a week of blowout losses, the matchups this week were all about redemption and high-flying offense. Let's break down the action and see how the teams fared against the Vegas lines.

Game 1: Bucks vs. Polars

Final Score: Bucks 11, Polars 8

This was a matchup of two teams looking to bounce back from embarrassing Week 2 losses. The Polars came in as -1.5 favourites, but the Bucks had other plans in a game that was chippy from the opening faceoff.

The first two periods were a gritty, back-and-forth battle. Physicality was the story early on, highlighted by a major penalty and game misconduct for the Polars in the first period. Despite the penalty trouble, the teams traded blows evenly, entering the final frame deadlocked at 6-6. Captain Andrew Coghlin added a slick behind the back pass which had the crowd going wild.

In the third, the Bucks found another gear. They rattled off a dominant run to blow the game open, capitalizing on the Polars' penalty woes to secure the win. Sean Campbell led the way for the Bucks, netting a hat trick and adding two assists to fuel the offense.

Betting Recap:

The Pick: Polars -1.5
The Result: Bucks Win 11-8
Verdict: LOSS. The Bucks, who were our "Upset Watch," pulled off a huge win, crushing the spread and the moneyline.
Over/Under: 15.5 Goals. OVER. With 19 total goals, this was a comfortable over.

Game 2: Wolves vs. Muskies

Final Score: Wolves 13, Muskies 11

This was the "Main Event" of the evening, with two offensive juggernauts going head-to-head. The Muskies were slight -0.5 favorites, and the game lived up to the hype with a massive 24 combined goals.

The first two periods were incredibly tight, with the Muskies holding a narrow 7-6 lead heading into the third. Both goaltenders made some incredible saves to keep the score close despite the high-powered offenses on display. However, the Wolves exploded in the final frame, outscoring the fish to pull away for the victory.

It was a star-studded scoresheet. Richard Haan powered the Wolves with 4 goals, while Kyle Rushton added a hat trick of his own. On the losing side, Shane Haliwell was unstoppable, potting an incredible 5 goals, and Dylan Gillespie chipped in with a hat trick to keep the Muskies in the fight until the end.

Betting Recap:

The Pick: Muskies -0.5
The Result: Wolves Win 13-11
Verdict: LOSS. In a game that could have gone either way, the Wolves' depth proved to be the difference.
Over/Under: 19.5 Goals. OVER. With 24 total goals, this game smashed the over, which was our "Lock of the Week".
