Forest, ON – Ten months ago, the Lambton Shores
Predators defeated the LaSalle Vipers 8-4. That was
on November 10th, 2010. 304 days later, and the
Predators get their next victory against the same
Vipers, this time a 5-4 shootout victory to give the
Predators their first win of the season.
"This was
a great win for our team tonight," said Head Coach
Mark Davis, who picked up his first win as the
Predators new coach. "All four lines played well.
[Brandon] Campbell was outstanding."
Lambton
Shores jumped out to the early 1-0 lead after Sam
Jasmin scored 5:15 into the first period. But the
Vipers would get the equalizer, as Dylan Seguin made
it a 1-1 guy midway through the first period.
LaSalle would outshoot the Predators 15-13 in the
period, but Campbell would not let any others get
through.
In the
second period, the Vipers would strike after the
midway mark, as Matt Beaudoin put the Vipers ahead
2-1. Just over two minutes later Eric Noel would
give LaSalle a two goal lead with his first of the
season. But Lambton Shores would cut the lead in
half, as Ferdinando Colella would score to make it a
3-2 game. LaSalle put 17 shots on net in the period,
as Campbell had 29 saves through two periods.
In the
third, the Predators wasted no time getting the game
all square, as Brendon Merritt make it a 3-3 game
1:33 into the period.
Unfortunately for the Predators, Seguin would score
his second of the game, giving the Vipers the lead
back with under five minutes to play. Beaudoin would
get called for high sticking, and with under two
minutes to play, Kyler Keating would score on the
powerplay, once again equaling the game at 4-4.
Overtime
would solve nothing and shootout was needed. Kyle
Brothers found the back of the net on the first
shot, and after Ryan Speers missed for the Vipers,
Cody Trowell finished the game, scoring the
Predators second shootout goal to lead 2-0, and take
the victory 5-4.
Brandon
Campbell made 42 saves in the victory for the
Predators.
The
Predators start the season 1-0, and will next travel
to Chatham on Thursday to take on the Maroons.
