The play was initiated when sophomore forward Megan Howe received a pass from senior Kelly Collins and was able to center the puck to Lee. After the goal, which came only 1:53 into the period, the Lakers proceeded to take a total of five penalties over the course of the last 20 minutes. Halfway through the period, the Lighting capitalized on the power play for the third time when senior forward Laura Gilpin took a checking penalty. Leonard found the back of the net on a play where Smith appeared to be screened by several players in front of the net.

Batman: Arkham Asylum, developed by Rocksteady Studios and released in 2009, changed all of that. The game was lauded for its smooth fighting system, unique story and capturing Batman like no other game could. With its ac- claim, there was bound to be a sequel and “Batman: Arkham City” has arrived.
