Horde Look Flat and Lose 4-1 to Puck Hounds

St. Louis Park – Saturday, February 13, 2010. The Horde played an uninspired game against the Puck Hounds and lost 4-1 in front of a small crowd at SLP's east rink. After a week off, the Horde started the game with some energy and, after pressing for most of the period scored their only goal of the night when Jon Zimmerman stole the puck at center ice and fed Jeff Nelson cutting in from the right side to give the Horde the early 1-0 lead. The Horde had a few power plays they were unable to convert and, despite outshooting the Hounds, lost for the second time of the season 4-1 after giving up an empty net goal at the game's end. Credit the Hounds who played a tough defensive game and had a few terrific shots. The Horde face the Wildcats next Saturday and will be hungry.
