Lambton Shores vs Fort Erie Meteors

Showcase Tournament - St. Marys

 

The streak has been broken as Lambton Shores saw their first win on the weekend at the third annual GOJHL Showcase Tournament. They defeated the Fort Erie Meteors 3 - 2 in a close match.  Fort Erie  play in the Golden Horseshoe Conference and prior to the game they were 0 - 9 - 1.
 

Lambton went up 2 - 1 in the first period with Coy Kulich scoring first for the Preds just 1:23 into.  Fort Erie answered back on a powerplay goal just over 3 minutes later to even the score.  Action continued until 17:59 when Matt Rupert scored to regain the lead for the Lambton Shores. 
 

In the second Fort Erie scored their second goal, again on the powerplay to even things up.  Play would continue and the period ended with both sides even with 2 apiece.

In the third period Thomas Flamminio took the Meteors by surprised and landed one into the just :15 seconds into the final period to give the Predators the lead.  Flamminio's goal would remain the game winner as the Predators held off the attack to take their first win of the season.

 

Lambton Shores outshot the Meteors 53 - 32.  Chris Clark earned the win with 30 saves and despite the loss Vincent Merante stood tall for the Meteors with 50 saves.  Both goalies earned the MVP of the game.

 

Lambton Shores went 0 for 8 on powerplay opportunities, Fort Erie went 2 for 5.

 

The Predators are back in action when they return to St. Mary's on Friday night and return home on Saturday when they host LaSalle.  Game time at home is at 7:30 pm.
