The Lizard Kings won 31-28 in faceoffs. The second game in a row winning 31 faceoffs and coming out ontop in that category.

As GM Nick Buchko stressed after the first game that the Lizard Kings need to stop taking so many bad penalties.. They must have listened, as they only took 1 on the evening.. F777X took 4 penalties on the night.

Ángel Fernández is the first goalie in league III.I4 to get a shutout in season 6.

The Lizard Kings get off to a 1-1 start and jump up to 10th place.. Their next game is played at "dream arena" home to American Dream (0-2 19th place.)

"American Dream won't be seeing the same players that played against F777X. We have added a strong core group of guys, which we strongly believe will hold us throughout the season.. I'm looking forward to the new acquisitions to have an amazing year." - GM Nick Buchko
