Turnovers and effort key to first win

The Madison West Regents came down to Janesville on Tuesday night looking for their first win of the season. With a young squad still finding their way they used some key turnovers and strong effort to get a 4-2 win.

​   Janesville was able to get the first tally of the night. Ty Perkins got a shot on goalie Adam Buencamino who kicked out a rebound out front and Tyler Kulas shot it past Buencamino for the 1-0 lead.

​   The lead looked like it would stay hat way to intermission but on a faceoff in the Janesville zone West was able to get a shot and got the puck past Jack Bostedt for a 1-1 tie. The goal was credited to Casey Olson.

​   In the second period West took the lead for good, scoring two goals. Janesville was breaking out of their own zone when the puck hit a skate and Wests Sam Loving found the puck on his stick near the crease, made a move and scored for a 2-1 lead. Later in the period another Janesville turnover was in their net when a turnover on the power play became a breakaway where Cole Fuhrmann scored to give the Regents a 3-1 lead after two periods.

​   The third period saw wide open skating with West still leading 3-1, when the Bluebirds got a chance to cut the lead to 1 but Buencamino made a huge point blank save with just over 7 minutes left in the game. West clinched the game on a bad pass that was intercepted by West skater Colin Pulkrabek, and scored for a 4-1 lead just over 5 minutes left. Janesville would get one more goal with just over 2 minutes left on a power play goal by Tyler Kulas his second of the night. Janesville could get no closer and West had their first win of the season.

​   Adam Buencamino finished with 19 saves while Janesville's Jack Bostedt had 24. The Regents had goals from four different players while Janesville's two goals came from Tyler Kulas both had assists from Ty Perkins.
