Flyers post shutout victory

The Squirt Flyers played at a fever-pitch against the Gray Sabres early Sunday morning at the Amherst Pepsi Center.

The Flyers won 5-0 and sealed their third playoff game with exciting end-to-end action and tight defense.

The Flyers' Conor Mulvey set the offensive pace for his team when he lifted the puck up with an awesome wrist shot early in the first period. Mulvey's goal was helped with assists from James Mueller and Trevor Shaw. Two minutes later, Gregory Sibick scored the second goal for the Flyers when he blasted the puck past the Gray Sabres' goalie.

The second period saw a lot of bold moves from each team as the playoffs typically do. Sibick lit up the scoreboard again for the Flyers after he lobbed in a well-timed pass from teammate Amir Gulati. The remainder of the second period had both teams working hard and ended with the Flyers retaining their 3-0 lead.

The third period had numerous offensive rushes from the Gray Sabres, which were skillfully handled by Flyers' goalie, Bryan Cowing. The Flyers fourth goal was scored by Mark Christy on a breakaway down the center of the ice.

Christy grabbed a pass from Sibick and skated past the competition. Peter Masters lit up the scoreboard for the Flyers' fifth goal with ten seconds to go on the clock. Masters spotted a pass from JP Williams and seized the opportunity to slam the puck in on the Gray Sabres' netminder.

Notable plays for the Flyers were made by Austin Gallagher, Anthony Macchia, Trevor Shaw, Austin Ballard and Eric Bailey.
