01.22.2018 Simcoe Warriors (4) @ Bantam AE Thamesford Pizza (0)
A tough night on the offensive side of the game plan and some missed opportunities were the downfall for the Express Monday night as they dropped a 4-0 decision to the visiting Simcoe Warriors.

In a game that could be described as chippy at times, the Express had a couple of opportunities to open the lead on the visitors but could not find the back of the net. After playing an even period in the first the visitors would open the scoring in the last minute of the period to take the lead into the second.

The Express would generate some offensive zone pressure in the second thanks to defenseman Cam White who led numerous rushes into the Warriors zone. But a decent scoring opportunity never materialized and the Express would see the visitors go up by two goals with 6:17 left in the second.

For the second game in a row the home side would squander multiple powerplay opportunities as the visitors found themselves shorthanded a total of eight times in the game. But Ingersoll was unable to capitalize with the man advantage.

Ingersoll could never seem to get on track offensively. When the opportunities were available for good scoring chances open nets were missed or shots missed the net completely.

Simcoe would add two more goals in the third in a two minute span to round out the scoring and send the Express to their second loss in a row to start the second half.
