Alliance Playoffs Game #2 @ Elgin-Middlesex Chiefs
Lambton traveled to Glencoe for game two of the round-robin series to battle the Chiefs from Elgin-Middlesex.
No scoring occurred in the first period with Ethan Hunt making a couple of big saves and Lambton testing the Chiefs’ goalie.
Period two saw Elgin open the scoring but then Lambton’s Ryan Gould continue his scoring ways when he got the Jr. Sting going burying a wrister after Brennan McKegan forced the turnover with some good fore checking. Max Steeves increased the lead to two when he deposited a rebound after Nic DiScanno went to the net hard. The versatile Ryan Brown, playing forward tonight, went top shelf after a beautiful stretch pass from Ben Schoch, to increase the lead to 3-1 at the end of the second.
Jack Hackett added a 4th for the Jr. Sting on the power play scoring off of nice set-up from Max Steeves. Jared Pageau would score number five for the Jr. Sting when he intercepted a pass on the penalty kill and fired home a wrister from the hash marks. Elgin would score one on the power play to stem the tide but Pageau would add another within seconds, when he took the puck off the ensuing face-off again cut to the middle of the ice to bury another hash mark wrister. The Chiefs scored to make it 6-3 but were unable to get any closer despite the questionable refereeing which gave Elgin a 5 on 3 power play for the last 1:38 of the game.
Ethan Hunt was in net and had a strong outing to get the win.
Jared Pageau had 2 goals. Max Steeves and Ryan Gould each had 1 goal and 1 assist
Ryan Brown and Jack Hackett each had 1 goal.
Brennan McKegan, Nic DiScanno, Ben Schoch, Garrett Miller and Nash Nienhuis all had 1 assist each.
