In the Play of the Game clip below: Billerica kills off a penalty to start the second half, then scores to begin the process of breaking open a one-goal game en route to a 16-6 triumph over Reading.

Billerica opened the third quarter down a man for almost a full minute, but Peter Vacca won the faceoff and Adam Foss essentially killed off the penalty by dodging defenders behind the Reading cage.

Greg Melaugh fed Jeff Scarfo rumbling into the attack area as the teams returned to even strength and, while Reading netminder John Michael Leach stopped Scarfo's initial blast, Melaugh dashed from behind the cage to flick in the rebound (while tip-toeing in front of the crease).

Full highlights are also available below.
