As Monday night's game between visiting Northland Pines and host Point-Rapids approached, each of the teams had something to prove.

In their last match-up in Eagle River one month ago, the Red Panthers jumped out to a 3-0 lead after 34 minutes of play and appeared poised to upset the Eagles in 'The Dome.'

The home team came out with a jump in their step, scoring three goals in the first five minutes of the final period and hung on for a 5-4 comeback win.

The Red Panthers wanted to prove the outcome of that game was a fluke, while Pines wanted to affirm the opposite.

Wisconsin Prep Hockey's Game of the Week was never in question, as Pines put the game into 'run-time' early in the third period and coasted to a 7-1 victory over the Red Panthers at the South Wood County Rec Center on Parents' Night.

The first three goals for Pines were of the special team variety, but Point-Rapids had the first quality chance.

Two minutes in, Sarah Peplinski got free on a breakaway, only to be stymied by Pines freshman netminder Jenna Paez.

Pines got on the board at 6:54 with a rebound power play goal by Cali Sanborn--her first of three goals--with an assist from Sydney Moustakis.

A few minutes later, the Eagles were killing a penalty and found themselves with the puck in the Red Panthers' d-zone. Kali Ebert took a swing at the puck in the slot and connected and saw it bounce high into the air off a defender and end up in the net behind Red Panther goalie Emily Bubla for the shorty at 11:16. Paige Healy earned her first of three helpers on the play.

The guests walked off after the period leading 2-0 and outshooting the hosts by a margin of 8-2.

Pines converted on another power play early in the second to extend the lead to 3-0. Sanborn found a loose puck and banged it in for the rebound goal at 2:05. Healy was credited with the assist.
