Blake StewartVernon Hills Capitals 7, Calumet (Michigan) Wolverines 8
The Calumet Wolverines from Michigan's Upper Peninsula skated away from Glacier Ice Arena in Vernon Hills Saturday night with an 8-7 victory. Calumet jumped out to a 5-1 first period lead, but during the second and third periods the Capitals clawed their way back. Vernon Hills eventually tied the game with 3:51 left in the third period, but the celebration was short-lived. With 2:24 remaining in the game, Calumet scored on a powerplay to secure the win. The defeat marks the seventh time in 19 games this season that the Capitals have lost by a single goal.

At right: Blake Stewart scored twice for the Caps Saturday night.
