andrew brethauer November 26th, 2011


Sarnia, ON -  Jesse Drydak scored with 26 seconds remaining in the third period to put the Sarnia Legionnaires past the Leamington Flyers 4-3 in Saturday night Junior B hockey action.
 

Sarnia and Leamington would trade goals all night, having the game tie on three occasions every period. Tyler Quigley started the scoring for the Flyers, but was quick to be answered by the Legionnaires on the power play as Evan Dixon scored within a minute and a half to tie the game 1-1 after the first.

In the second, Sarnia would take their first lead of the game as Brent Sauve scored his 15th of the season to put Sarnia ahead 2-1. But the Flyers would respond and on the power play as well, as Nick Beaune would knot the game up with twenty seconds remaining in the second period, sending it into the third tied 2-2.

 

Sarnia again would take the lead as Sauve scored his second of the game midway through the period. But the Flyers would answer right back two minutes later, as Austin Mattson tied the game for the third time.

But Jesse Drydak would score his 18th game winning goal as a Sarnia Legionnaire and give Sarnia the two points.

Sean Park got the start in goal and made 56 saves, as the Legionnaires were heavily outshot 59-36. This would be Parker's 6th victory of the season.

Sarnia is now 1-1-1 on the weekend and still has one game to go as they head to Chatham on Sunday.
