The successful pair of games started off on Friday night at the Dresden Arena, with a 5-4 OT win over Essex.

The goal completed the hat-trick for Liberty, who also picked up 2 assists during the game for a 5-point night.

Ritzer finished with 4 assists, while Holmes also scored for Dresden and finished with 2 assists.

Steven Funk also netted a goal for the Kings.

Joel Sowinski made 36 saves in the win.

Dresden carried the momentum into Mooretown the following night on Saturday, and doubled up the Flags 6-3.

Liberty continued his torrid pace, scoring 5 goals for the Kings.

Kadin Ritchie also scored, while Sowinski made 26 saves for his second straight win.

Liberty’s amazing scoring display has catapulted him to the top of the league’s scoring list.
