Bandits stay undefeated, plus the links

January 30th, 2009 by Jon Brand

After a slow first half and a solid showing from the Rush, Buffalo (5-0) turned the heat up, capitalizing on a major penalty to Ryan McNish and pulling away in the third quarter for a 13-8 win over Edmonton (2-3) at Rexall Place. Former Edmonton star Mike Accursi, who was sent to Buffalo in exchange for Dan Teat at the trade deadine last year, set the pace, finishing with five goals and two assists. Mark Steenhuis dropped seven points as well (3G, 4A), including an amazing off-balance finish in the fourth. Ken Montour was phenomenal in net, allowing eight goals on 55 shots. Dan Teat led the way for the Rush with four points (3G, 1A).
