Two rugged Oakland defenders joined the attack and chipped in goals only 4 minutes apart as Larry Cahan and Kent Douglas led the way to a 4-3 victory over the Scouts in game 5. GOALIES: KC - Peter McDuffe OAK - Charlie Hodge SEALS D-MEN SPARK OFFENSE FOR SERIES LEAD! Dave Hudson added another powerplay goal shortly after and KC had a lead that would hold up for the rest of the game.
The Seals got into penalty trouble again, but unlike game 2 where they were 9-for-9 in successful penalty kills, the Scouts scored twice in 7 attempts including a Robin Burns backhander during a 5-on-3 advantage. Kansas City found its offensive touch again, exploding for 4 goals in the second period to knot the series with Oakland at 2 games apiece. GOALIES: OAK - Charlie Hodge KC - Peter McDuffe The Seals woke up in the 3rd period with 3 goals, 2 from Gerry Ehman, but by then it was too late.Ĥ points for Charron as Scouts fill the net Guy Charron (who is also on the 77-78 Capitals) led scorers with 2 goals and 2 assists and linemate Simon Nolet chipped in 3 assists. It was a far different Scouts club that took the ice at the friendly confines of Kemper Arena, as they drove Oakland goalie Charlie Hodge to the showers after two periods with a 6-goal onslaught. GOALIES: OAK - Charlie Hodge/Gary Smith KC - Peter McDuffe
