The Windsor Lancer men's hockey team hosted the Western Mustangs for their final OUA game of 2024 Wednesday night. The men dominated the ice, skating off with a 6-2 victory.
 
STATS
All players stepped up Wednesday night as 6 different Lancers found the back of the net for the blue and gold: Johnny Ulicny, Logan Linklater, David Jesus, Keegan McMullen, Will Ennis, and Ty Toews.
 
Nathan Torchia stood tall in the Lancer goal, making 42 saves at the CPRC.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
Western opened the scoring. However, the Lancers then snapped into action, scoring three unanswered goals in the first period.
 
First, Johnny Ulicny tied things up less than one minute after Western put one up. Logan Linklater then got in the action to take the lead with 8 minutes remaining. The blue and gold had the crowd on their feet as David Jesus completed the period's Lancer trio, making the score 3-1.
 
The Lancers kept up the momentum in the second period. Teams exchanged goals midway through the frame. First, Keegan McMullen lead the charge down the ice and scored on a breakaway. Then, Western answered back with a rebound goal.
 
With only seconds left on the clock, Will Ennis jumped in to pot a power play goal and make the score 5-2.
 
Tension built in the third period as the Lancers worked to keep the Mustangs at arm's length. With five minutes remaining, the Lancers found themselves in penalty trouble and fending off a penalty kill. Nonetheless, the men took care of business as Ty Toews tied the bow on the night with an empty netter.
 
UP NEXT
The Lancers will see the ice again in the New Year, when they take a trip to Montreal to play against the Concordia Stingers on Friday, January 10th at 7:00pm.
