Box Score Two late goals by Drew Palmer and Spencer Pommells lifted the undefeated Windsor Lancers over the Lakehead Thunderwolves 5-4 in front of 2711 fans at the Fort William Gardens on Friday night.
 
Pommells led the way with a hat trick and Parker Van Burkirk made 27 saves to keep the Lancers undefeated and in first place in the OUA west divison.
 
Pommells scored his first of the game when he beat Lakehead netminder Justin McDonald at 18:18 of the period for the only goal in the frame.
 
Lakehead's Keith Grondin evened the score early in the second period when he rifled the puck past Van Buskirk. But a quick reply by Palmer and another by Pommells put Windsor up 3-1 just a few minutes later.
 
Brennen Dubchak narrowed the Lancers' lead to 3-2 at the 12:24 mark to round out the scoring in the middle frame.
 
Mike Hammond picked up his third helper of the night when Mitch Fillman converted on a Lakehead power play at 4:42 of the final stanza to tie the game up at 3-3.  Just over two minutes later with the Wolves once again playing with the extra man, Jake Wright scored from in-close to give Lakehead a 4-3 lead.
 
Palmer notched his second goal of the game with just over a minute remaining in the contest, and at that point it looked like the game was headed for overtime.  But the ever-dangerous Pommells struck again with only five seconds left on the clock, completing his hat-trick securing the Lancer win.
 
The two teams will do battle once again Saturday night at the Fort Williams Gardens. Puck is set to drop at 7:30pm.
