London, ON - With their fifth win in a row, their
longest winning streak all season, the Lambton
Shores Predators move into a playoff spot with five
games left to play. The Predators defeated London
Wednesday 6-4.
Lambton
Shores opened the scoring in the first two minutes
of the game as Cale Duberry got the Predators off to
a quick start. A late period goal by Derek
Todosichuk would tie the game with less then a
minute remaining in the first.
In the
second, the Predators would come out quickly again,
only this time scoring twice in the first minute and
a half. Corey Pawley would score 31 seconds into the
period, followed by Ryan Rontondi a minute later for
a 3-1 Predators lead. Rontondi would add his second
of the game minutes later, followed by London's
Aaron Dartch cutting the lead in half.
Adam
Arseneault would score nearing the end of the
period, as the Predators took a 5-2 lead into the
third period.
Duberry
would pick up his second of the game as the
Predators again score in the first minute of play
for a 6-2 lead. Noah Schwartz and Aaron Dartch would
add two goals for the Nationals a minute and 15
seconds a part, but that would be as close as they
would come in the 6-4 final.
Justin
Tugwell got the start and made 28 saves for his 8th
win of the season.
Lambton
Shores now is tied in points with Chatham for the
final playoff spot, but with more wins, they take
control of 8th place. The two teams will lock up on
Saturday as Chatham comes to Forest to take on the
Predators.
