It was a dominant first period for the Barber Poles, who held Erie without a shot until just after the midway point of the first period. The 67’s also had numerous chances on the power play, but Nicholls held firm, and these two teams were scoreless after one period, despite the 67’s outshooting Erie 16-4.
Ottawa Senators prospect, Tyler Boucher returns to the 67’s after playing in the Ottawa Senators/Montreal Canadiens pre-season game last night.Less than two minutes later, Anthony Costantini passed off to Derek Smyth, who slid it to Gardiner. From the top of the circle, the Aurora, Ont., product let go a laser of a shot that beat Nicholls up high, making it 2-1 in favour of the 67’s.
Late in the frame, Matier and Beck connected again, getting the puck to Pinelli, whose slot shot was good for his fourth of the season.Article content
