Box Score WINDSOR, Ont.- The Windsor Lancers men's hockey team rebounded from a dissapointing performance in their home opener on Friday night, notching a 5-2 victory over the Carleton Ravens to split their weekend series at South Windsor Arena on Saturday night.

Captain Drew Palmer led the way with two goals and an assist, as the Lancers were able to bounce back from two one-goal deficits against a Ravens squad that lit up Windsor for eight goals the previous night. Both teams come away from the weekend with a 1-1-0 record.

The visitors struck first for the second-straight contest, as Michael Lomas took a feed from Owen Werthner to snipe the puck past a sliding Parker Van Buskirk. Palmer responded on the next shift, scoring just 33 seconds after Lomas' goal to even the game at 1-1.

After Carleton took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission, they would run into penalty trouble in the middle of the second stanza. Palmer tied the game up once again with his second marker of the evening on 5-on-3 power-play, and Evan Stibbard tallied his first of the season less than a minute later as Windsor took full advantage of the Ravens on special teams.

Josh Graves and Derek Lanoue would provide insurance markers in the third period to solidify the victory for Windsor. After a shaky opening night performance, Van Buskirk responded by stopping 31 of 33 shots to help spur the Lancers to victory. The Lancers were 2-of-6 on the man-advantage, while the Ravens connected on one of their nine power-play opportunities.

The Lancers will hit the road next weekend, travelling to Waterloo on Friday night and Laurier on Saturday for games against the Warriors and Golden Hawks respectively. Windsor will return home on October 25 to start a four-game home stand, beginning with the rival Western Mustangs.
