The Lancer men's hockey team avoided elimination on Saturday afternoon with a 4-2 win over the Brock Badgers in game two of the first round of the OUA playoffs.
Â
With the series tied at one game apiece, game three will take place on Sunday night at 7:30pm at South Windsor Arena.
Â
The Badgers J. Kendra was the first and only scorer in the first period, giving the Badgers a one goal lead heading into the second period.
Â
To start the second period, Windsor's
Ryan Green evened the score as he put one past Brock goaltender A. Volpe.
Â
Brock took a 2-1 lead late in the second period as P. Volpe found the back of the net.
Â
Nine minutes into the third period, Windsor's
Matt Beaudoin received a pass from Sebastien Beauregard, and fired one past Volpe to tie the game at two.
Â
Brock's frustration showed as captain McGurk took a cross checking penalty and also received an unsportsmanlike conduct, giving the Lancers a four minute power play with five minutes to play.
Â
Adding to the Lancers momentum, Brock' head coach Murray Nystrom received a bench minor to put the Lancers on another 5-on-3 power play.
Â
Beaudoin found
Ryan Green, who fired a shot from the corner and over the shoulder of Volpe, giving the Lancers a 3-2 lead.
Â
With the Badgers still shorthanded,
Spencer Pommells was able to put home a rebound to secure the 4-2 win for the Lancers.
