The Leafs were not finished as they went on in the second period to score three unanswered goals in the second period and two more 12 seconds apart before the third period was two minutes old to take a commanding 6-1 lead.
The Elks did bounce back with a pair of goals to make the final 6-3. The five unanswered goals for the Leafs were tallied by Ethan Rendell-Watson who scored three of them for his 4th, 5th and sixth goals of the season in four games. Other scorers were Isaac Bridge and the team’s top point getter after four games Nathan Clarke who has registered three goals and seven assists for 10 points in four games.
