Lambton Shores vs St. Marys
 

Last Saturday night’s game provided great entertainment in the first of back to back games against St. Marys (the second taking place tonight ). It was also a special night for the members of the Lambton Shores Minor Hockey Atom AE team. The Atom team players and their head coach Greg Garside were in attendance for a meet and greet with the players of the Junior B team before the game.

The Predators were out shot in the first period 19 – 9 but they managed to kill off two penalties. They took a 1 – 0 lead into the second period on a goal by Coy Kulich with assists going to Duncan MacSorley and Ben Woodley. Shots on goal in the second were 15 – 14 in favour of the Predators. Each team scored once in the frame. Ben Arseneault and Dave Hutchinson earned assists on James Pursell’s goal. Down a goal to start the third, the Lincolns came out fast and maintained pressure in the Predators’ zone. It paid off for them with two quick goals early in the period allowing them to take the lead. Coach Dan Mudge called a time out to re-focus his team and the players got their game back on track. Increased pressure by the Predators finally paid off at 14:12 of the third when Brandon Stewart capitalized on a pass from Coy Kulich and Matt Melo to tie the game. A late goal by St. Marys gave them a lead again and the eventual 4 – 3 win. In the final minute the home team went with 6 attackers. They had some chances around the Lincoln goal and some anxious moments when one icing attempt went wide of their open net and another shot bounced over their open net at the end of the game.
