The
Lambton Sting went 1-1 over the
weekend losing to Huron Perth
4-3 Saturday before rebounding
with a 4-0 win over the
Kitchener Rangers on Sunday.
On
Saturday at the RBC Centre the
Sting came out flat against the
Lakers falling behind 2-0 before
Cameron Ware would get Lambton
on the scoreboard by converting
a nice pass from Spencer
Vandenboom. The Lakers would
go up 3-1 but Lambton rallied to
tie the contest midway through
the third period. Hunter
Monkhouse scored a shorthanded
marker with help from Nolan
DeGurse and then Ware would get
the equalizer from Monkhouse and
Carson Perry. The rally would be
for naught as a defensive
breakdown with 3 minutes
remaining allowed Huron Perth to
score the game winning goal.
There were no such lapses on
Sunday against Kitchener as the
team came out fired up and took
the play to the Rangers right
from the opening face-off.
Lambton would take the lead just
over a minute into the game on a
goal from Carson Perry assisted
by Hunter Monkhouse. Nolan
DeGurse would make it 2-0 in the
second period when he scored an
unassisted powerplay goal on a
wraparound.
The
Sting increased their lead to
3-0 when Jaycob White made a
terrific play to pinch-in at the
blueline, and he would get the
puck to Spencer Vandenboom who
made no mistake in deking the
Rangers goaltender. Dylan
Riddell added an empty-netter
with Ryan Barwitzki drawing the
assist. Luc Thorne-Smith earned
the shutout between the pipes
with a 16 save effort for his
first regular season AAA
victory.
