Eastview outshot Apple Valley/Burnsville 33-13 but could not put the game safely out of reach until the final horn.

Zach Wooten got things started for Eastview in the first period, scoring an even-strength goal with an assist from Sam Wooten. Apple Valley/Burnsville scored later in the first. Sam Wooten scored on a Lightning power play at 8:47 of the second, with assists by Zach Wooten and Senior Forward Jordan Brothers. But within a minute, Apple Valley/Burnsville tied the game again.

On Saturday (1/13), the JV Boys Hockey Team played a great game against Apple Valley/Burnsville. Apple Valley/Burnsville took the lead in the first period on a power play but the JV team answered back in the 2nd period.
