It\u2019s going to be a jam-packed two weeks at the Aurora Community Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a decisive 7-4 road victory against the Stouffville Spirit, the Aurora Tigers can take advantage of having the ACC for the next two weekends as they begin a four-game home set this Friday against the Georgetown Raiders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a 2-1 loss on the road against the Milton Menace last Friday, the Tigers went back out on the road the next evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boys went into the next evening with a head full of steam, and just over a minute into the game they opened the scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tigers forward Ryan Evenhuis scored his third goal in his last five games just 1:18 into the first frame. Newly acquired defenseman Erik MacNiel scored his third goal in his 11th<\/sup> game as a member of the Tigers to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After expanding their lead, the Tigers ran into a brick wall and coughed up two goals to close out the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second period, with the wind in their backs, the Spirit added another two goals on the power play to take a 4-2 lead. Lucas Stanojevic scored near the end of the second period to make it 4-3 heading into the final 20 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, in the third period, the Tigers pulled up their socks and scored four unanswered to close out the game. Stanojevic, Zander Hutchinson, Stefan Forgione and Ryan Gagner (empty-net) all contributed on the score sheet in the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now 27 games into the season, the Tigers currently have a 13-10-1-3 record. Stanojevic currently leads the team in points with 22 goals and 14 assists in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a team, the Tigers have the sixth best offence in the league, averaging 4.15 goals per game and have the sixth best power play with a 22.41 per cent success rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defensively, the boys are 12th in goals against with 3.44 and have the 13th<\/sup> best penalty kill in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s been a great season so far for the Tigers and anyone interested in coming out to a game will have a great chance to do so for the next two weeks at the Community Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raiders come to town Friday and the Toronto Patriots will arrive Saturday night. Puck drop is at 7.30 p.m. both nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
