Recap

Heights finished the Thomas Worthington Holiday Classic with the consolation game against the host Thomas Worthington Cardinals. Trailing 3-1 in the third period, the Tigers mounted a late comeback and rallied to a 4-3 win. Jeff Houser scored his eleventh goal of the year to make it 3-2 and then Heights finally started to catch a few breaks. With just over three minutes remaining, Worthington's goaltender dove into the high slot to cover a loose puck. When the referees did not blow the whistle for a faceoff, the goalie was forced to play the puck. Chris Matthews stole it and fired into an empty net for the tying goal. Less than a minute later, defenseman Justin Kalman struck a low line drive from the point that passed untouched through the five hole for his first goal of the season and the game-winner. Ben Gaglioti won his second game of the tournament, making 19 saves. The Tigers' first goal came in the second period off the blade of Carl Rose. Rose finished with five goals in the tournament, and currently has twelve on the season to tie Nate Hall for the team lead.
