McHenry 3 points - in Pens 3-1 win

The Sackville Blazers played five more regular season games than the East Hants Penguins and finished at 14-7-1 while the Pens concluded at 10-7 but when it comes to playoff hockey, as well all know nothing is certain as the Penguins came out strong Friday March 11 in the opener of their Best-of-Seven Fred Fox Divisional Semi-Final defeating the Blazers 3-1 in Lantz while outshooting the Blazers 40-26.  Games 2 and 3 revert back to Sackville Monday March 14 and Thursday March 17.  The big trouble for Sackville were the two power-play goals they allowed the Penguins in the third period as Brody Fraser tallied one including the game winner at 11:15 while Deegen Noble was serving a minor for hooking and the insurance goal was scored by Evan McHenry while Trey Faulkner was off for slashing.  McHenry also added a pair of assists while Bruen Fisher who scored the other Pens goal also recorded an assist as did Fraser whose goal was also a power-play in the first period.  The only Blazers goal all night was scored by Noah healy with 2:24 to play in the opening frame. Sackville had defeated East Hants 4-1 in their only regular season game played between the two clubs but that game is immaterial now and the Blazers will have to come up with four wins before East Hants can register 3 of their own in order to advance to the Fred Fox Divisional Final.
