CRE: 15 + 14 + 11 = 40 shots, 13 hard, 2 Goals vs Brossoit.
Notes
- Brossoit saved goals against Rantanen on 5-2, 5-2, 4-11, 2-10, 3-7, 4-7, 5-7, and 5-7.
- Oxford sat regulars Tippett, Sanheim, Sprong, Marino, Johnston, Gaudreau and Moore in favor of skaters with bars: Gregor, Schenn, Aube-Kubel, Barron, Ritchie, Tinordi.
- It was Barron and Ritchie's first game of the season.
- The bars paid off with multiple interceptions. So did putting the first PP unit out for every PP (Oxford had 6 to Cremona's 2).
- As beefed up as Oxford was, it was 2 Oxford players - Anderson and Martinook - that got injured.
