Night two of the AJHL playoffs were underway Friday night with all 12 teams back in action after the first night was filled with fireworks on Thursday night! A few series fell into strangleholds while a couple of others evened out at one.
Here’s how it all shaped out:

Oilers lead series 2-0
After the 6-5 OT win in Game 1, the Oilers were looking to come within one game of advancing with a win Friday night, one they succeeded in with the 5-3 win in Game 2. After Calgary took a 3-1 lead in the second period with a goal from Nic Herringer on the power play things looked good for the Canucks. But the Oilers turned things around with a goal from Austin Wong under a minute later and another one with 6 minutes left in the period from Blake Wells to tie the game at three before Quinn Olson gave Okotoks the lead at 4-3 heading into the third.
Kyle Gordon would add an empty netter in the third to seal the deal and 5-3 win for the Oilers who now look to finish the series off on Sunday in Calgary.

They scored two more goals in the first and two more in the second taking the 5-1 lead to the third period.
