Meagher paces Penguins who tie series at 2-2
Devin Meagher’s two goals in a span of 39 seconds in the final half of the third period broke open a wide-open 2-2 game and enabled the Penguins to tie the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League Championship Series at 2-2 with the AA Munro Antigonish Jr. Bulldogs in Lantz Friday evening. The two teams now head back to Antigonish for Game 5 Easter Sunday evening at 7:30 p.m. From a fairly solid-checking game and a 2-0 Bulldogs win Thursday night, the Pens outshot Antigonish 58-56 Friday night and after allowing no goals Thursday, Cody MacEachern was beaten for 6 Friday. The Pens held a 1-0 lead after the opening period on the first of two goals from Nico Kane with only 2:23 left to go in the opening frame. In the second, Jake MacDonald tied it for the Jr. Bulldogs with 5:43 having been played but Kane then scored his second of the game to put the Pens in front 2-1. With less than four minutes to play in the middle period, Sam Grant tied it once again for Antigonish.
