Antigonish has yet to lose in regulation

The Antigonish Jr. Bulldogs after hammering the Eskasoni Jr. Eagles 7-2 Friday night in Antigonish are now 19-0-1 on the season for 39 points and within two games of going the entire 21-22 NSJHL season without having suffered a loss in regulation.  Nothing of course will be known for certain until they complete their home and home weekend series with the Cumberland County Blues.  The Bulldogs are guaranteed a first-round bye in the opening round of the playoffs and will advance directly to the Sid Rowe Divisional Semi-Finals.  The Jr. Eagles meanwhile fell to 6-12-0 and their next three games will be critical as to where they finish in the standings and who they will play in an opening round Best-of-Five Mini Series beginning later next week.  The Jr. Eagles are playing Pictou tonight, Port Hawkesbury Sunday at home and Membertou on Monday to round out their season.

 
Friday night, the Jr. Bulldogs took command early leading 2-1 after one on goals from Sam Mattie who also added an assist and Logan Tramble who finished with a pair of goals and an assist for a three point night.  Antigonish extended their lead to 5-1 after forty minutes on goals from Tramble, his second of the evening, Connor Doherty, and Chris Keyes who also added an assist.  The Jr. bulldogs went up 6-1 in the third with Fearghus MacDonald adding his 17th of the season only 16 seconds into the third period.  Curtis Novak scored the other Jr. Eagles goal and Jordan Etheridge finished the scoring for the Bulldogs to make the final 7-2.  Ethan Price also recorded a pair of assists for the Jr. Bulldogs.  Antigonish has now scored 107 goals in the 20 games they have played which works out to an average of 5.3 goals a game while they have allowed 57 meaning they have allowed 2.8 goals a game.
 
Three exciting nights of hockey left before we know the final standings and who will be playing who in the Best-of-Five Mini Series.
