The Soo Greyhounds picked up two important points in the standings in the opening game of a three-game road trip
They opened up a two-goal lead before the game was 10 minutes old and carried the play throughout much of the opening 15 minutes and in the end, the Soo Greyhounds grabbed a much-needed two points on Thursday thanks to a 5-2 Ontario Hockey League victory over the Niagara IceDogs in St. Catharines.
Forward Owen Allard, returning to the lineup for the first time this season after a shoulder injury last summer required surgery, called the game “a good team win.” For a team that let a lead slip away last weekend, Dean also talked about a goal early in the third period of Thursday’s game took on some added importance for a team trying to protect a lead.
After carrying the play through much of the opening period, the Greyhounds opened the scoring on a goal by Cloutier. After a shot by Thompson was partially blocked in the slot, the puck redirected to Cloutier in the left faceoff circle where he skated in and beat IceDogs goaltender Owen Flores high short side from the bottom of the circle at 9:18.
The IceDogs tied the game in the second period off an offensive zone turnover by the Greyhounds. Niagara’s Zakary Lavoie poked the puck away from McConnell-Barker at the Niagara blueline and skated in on a 2-on-1 with defenceman Ryan Vannetten. Lavoie hit Vannette with a pass and the rookie blueliner beat Schenkel glove side at 13:16.
With Flores on the bench for an extra attacker and the IceDogs on the power play, Cloutier sealed the win with an empty net goal with 32 seconds to go.
