The tickets and promotional advertisements said that Saturday's "IceCats Night" at the DCU Center was scheduled to start at 7:05pm, and by that point most of the 7,094 ticket holders had already found their seats and were ready for action.

Jenkins claims extra point for Railers in 4-3 OT win against Norfolk
Once a bit of time has passed Blade Jenkins' overtime winner will likely be described as an absolute laser from just inside the blue line, through a small puck-sized opening between the other four skaters on the ice, beating the goaltender to a high corner.
