Adelaide Adrenaline: Josh AdkinsJosh Adkins’ effort and determination was clear from the start during last night’s match-up against the Melbourne Mustangs. He created opportunities and relentlessly chased down the puck to skate it deep into the offensive zone to get some shots on goal. His on-ice awareness and ability to read the game leads to smart plays to help drive Adelaide’s attack. He’ll want to bounce back today and finish off the scoring chances he makes by finding the back of the net. Adelaide’s top line consisting of him, Romans Nekludovs, and Nathaniel Benson have found chemistry and are gelling together as seen recently – with involvement in 13 goals in been in the last four games.
Melbourne Mustangs: Nathan DunkleyMaking an immediate impact on his recent arrival and third game, Nathan Dunkley was a significant contributor to the Melbourne Mustangs’ scoring. He recorded three points consisting of a powerplay goal, empty-net goal, and an assist showing his value to Melbourne’s forward group. Dunkley will be a key figure to the Adrenaline preventing the Mustangs’ scoring opportunities as he was instrumental in three out of the four goals in last night’s scoresheet for Melbourne.
