Spades (Themer) and Hearts (Peterson) meet Thursday at 10:50 PM EDT in a rematch that already has a little history: their first meeting on Sep 11 ended in a tie, and neither side has found a win through four games. The Spades are back at 3-3 after a 3-3 result against Diamonds (Rye), while the Hearts come off a 6-3 loss to Clubs (Thibeault).

The standings say there is separation to make up. Hearts sit second in Thursdays - Everett with 5 points, two ahead of Spades, who are third with 3. Hearts have scored 13 goals in four games, led by Will Hudson with 5 points, Jennifer Pearson with 4 and Greg Siewert with 4. Spades have 10 goals, with Charles Farina on 5 points and Art Dogan on 3. In goal, Brian Eytcheson has handled all four games for Spades, while Ryan Smith has done the same for Hearts. With both teams still looking for their first win, the second meeting asks which side can finally turn close games into two points.
