Raptor Roundup (weekend of 12/20)

BIG Overtime Win for the Raptor Men! Your Raptors' men's side downed the Omaha Kings on the road in thrilling fashion, winning 5-4 in overtime behind yet another clincher from Jonah Dancer.

Having lit up the Minnesota Blizzard for four goals in the Raptors' home opener (December 6) -- including the game winner with just under a minute to go in regulation -- Dancer once again sent an opponent home with the L, knocking in the Raptors' fifth goal unassisted at 8:12 in the extra frame.

The game winner was Dancer's third point of the night. He set up Beni Mubake for the Raptors' first goal of the contest late in the first quarter; early in the fourth, Mubake returned the favor with a beautiful pass, breaking what had been a 3-3 tie. Ronaldo Rojas and Sarrive Rukakiza each banged home an unassisted goal.

Dancer now leads the league in total points (7), goals (6), game-winning goals (2), and power play goals (1). Rojas ranks third in total points (5) and fifth in goals (3), while Mubake is tied with fellow Raptors Rojas and Bobby Hurwitz for the league lead in assists (2).

Ymaury Casillas made his debut in goal for your Raptors, and he was a rock, surrendering just four goals on 17 shots against; his 3.88 goals-against average is good for second in the league, and he's fourth in M2 with a .765 save percentage.

Your Raptor men are now 2-0 on the season, leading the Midwest Division.
