Penguins explode for 6 unanswered markers

The Sackville Blazers have gone into a funk of unknown proportions and are now trying to figure out how to get back into their Fox Divisional Semi-Final with the East Hants Blazers.  The two teams battled strongly through 35 minutes of hockey in Sackville Monday night with the clubs tied at 4-4 after Devin Meagher scored his second goal of the game for the Penguins.  However after that, it went straight down-hill for the Blazers who gave 6 unanswered goals including a pair in the final 2:45 of the second to AJ Guildford and Brody Fraser to provide the Pens with a 6-4 lead going into the third period.  The Penguins never relented in the third as they scored four more times on goals by Bruen Fisher, Morgan Lake and then two more in the final 1:03 by Nico Kane and Nick Veinot.  In the opening frame, AJ Guildford scored followed by Robbie Dowell before Meagher with his first of the game tied the game at 3-3.  3 of the 10 Penguin goals came on the power-play.  As for the Blazers Deegen Noble scored a pair including the Blazers first of the game, 30 seconds after the Pens had taken a 2-0 lead.  Noble’s second goal put the Blazers ahead 3-2 after Mitchell Comeau had tied the game at 2-2 for the Blazers near the end of the first.  The blazers held their 3-2 lead for 2:28 until Meagher as noted tied the game at 3-3 but it took only 37 seconds for the blazers to go in front 4-3 on a goal from Tyler Pottier which proved to be Sackville’s last goal of the evening for the Pens 6 goal eruption.  Meagher also assisted on 2 Pens goals while Evan McHenry collected 4 assists and Logan Colter 3 for the winners.  The Penguins outshot the Blazers 61-37.  Game 3 in this series will be played in Sackville Thursday night at 7:30 and Game 4 back in Lantz Friday night at 7:30 p.m.  If a 5th game is necessary, it will go in Sackville Monday March 21 at 7:30 p.m.
