Colts lose opener in Fox Final
For a second consecutive night, the Capstone Colts gave up a short-handed goal, luckily the one on Friday in their series-clinching win over Liverpool came with the Colts up 3-1. Saturday night at the C.F.B. Shearwater Forum, it did not work as well for the Colts as Devin Meagher of the East Hants Penguins scored the game winner short-handed with 10:42 left in the second period to carry the Pens to a 3-2 victory and 1-0 lead in their Fred Fox Divisional Final series with the Colts. The teams were tied 1-1 after forty minutes with Cooper Puma scoring for the Colts in the first period and Morgan Lake on the power-play for East Hants in the second period. Evan McHenry then gave the Pens a 2-1 lead with his 6th goal of the playoffs to go along with 10 assists for a 2-1 Penguins lead before Meagher’s goal, also his 6th of the playoffs. It stayed 3-1 East Hants for only 1:21 before the Colts Griffin Peers proved the Colts with their second and last goal of the game. The Colts outshot East Hants 30-24. Game 2 in this series goes tonight in East Hants at 6:30 with game 3 back in Cole Harbour Place Wednesday night.
The Sid Rowe Divisional Final resumes in Antigonish tonight between the AA Munro Jr. Bulldogs and the Membertou Jr. Miners. The Jr. Miners will try and even the series after being balanced 3-0 on Friday night. Game time in Antigonish tonight (Mar 27) is 7:30 p.m.
