M&M Shamrocks 7, De Pere Deacons 6 (OT)
M&M let a two-goal third-period lead slip away, then regrouped just in time to edge De Pere 7–6 in overtime Friday night at De Pere Ice Arena. The Shamrocks built their offense around big nights from Dallas McLaughlin and Brennan Mason, who each scored twice, and they carried a 6–4 lead into the final minutes before Aidan Fahey completed his hat trick with the tying goal with 19 seconds left in regulation. De Pere also got goals from Janne Rukamp, Daniel Smolen, and Ryan Hibert in the comeback effort, but the extra session ended almost immediately when Tim L’Huillier scored the winner one second into overtime off assists from McLaughlin and Calvin Steinhoff. M&M finished with 49 shots, while Adam Lindeman made 51 saves to help the Shamrocks survive the Deacons’ late push.

Mosinee Papermakers 6, Calumet Wolverines 5
Mosinee did enough early to withstand Calumet’s late charge, building a three-goal first-period lead and then hanging on for a 6–5 win Saturday night at the Calumet Colosseum. Devon Blaes carried the Papermakers offensively with a hat trick, striking twice in the opening period and again midway through the second, while Nate Alm added a goal and two assists. Calumet pushed back after falling behind 5–3, getting a hat trick from Logan Rastello and cutting the deficit to one on third-period goals from Rastello and Matt Yeo, but Alm’s goal at 13:16 of the third held up as the difference. Landon Kawleski was busy all night in net for Mosinee, stopping 47 shots as the Wolverines finished with a 52–42 edge in shots.
