Express on the road for their 2nd of 3 this week saw a hungry St. Vital come out eager to put the guest away early except someone forgot to tell Dylan Arnold. The Express net minder made numerous point blank save early and continued to stifle the opposition for the majority of the period. Matsumoto and Boonstra with his first of the night gave the Express a 2 up lead before the home team finally solved Arnold late in the period.

A quick response early by the hosts before the Express PP continued to produce with Grunsten and Boonstra both scoring to give the visitors a lead going into the third.

A strong 3rd period saw a few firsts for the Express. Boonstra potted his 3rd of the night for the hatty, Grunsten buried a giveaway for his 2nd of the evening and rookie Conrad Solypa scores his 1st as an Express

Next game - home opener Sunday October 18 2pm at East End Arena.
