Leamington, ON - The Sarnia Legionnaires have won
their second in as many games and continue to sit in
first place in the Western Conference after a 6-5
victory over the Leamington Flyers Saturday night in
Junior B hockey.
Jesse

scoring four of their six goals in the victory. His
first was the first of the game to give the
Legionnaires a 1-0 lead, but the Flyers would be the
ones to exit the period with the lead. Cheyne
Matheson would tie the game, and with 15 seconds
remaining, Nicholas Nicodemo would score short
handed to put the Flyers ahead 2-1 after twenty
minutes.
In the
second, Drydak would get his second of the game to
tie the game at 2-2, but the Flyers again would
score while short handed, as Jared Dennis put
Leamington back in front.
Drydak
would tie the game up again on the power play,
scoring his third of the night, and Shawn Waldie
would respond with his own short handed goal in the
middle of the period to give the Legionnaires the
lead heading out of the second period.
In the
third, Leamington would again tie it back up, as
Tyler Quigley would knot the game at 4-4, but Drydak
would get his fourth of the game forty seconds
later, putting Sarnia back on top. Derek D'Andrea
would give Sarnia a two goal lead with a quick goal
soon after.
Alex
Seguin would cut the lead in half with half the
period to go, but the Legionnaires would be able to
hold off any comeback, earning the two points for
the victory.
Kyle
Washer got the start in net making 46 saves, as
Sarnia was out shot 51-34.
Sarnia
will have a week off and play LaSalle on Saturday
night at home, then head to St. Thomas for a game on
Sunday night.
