Saturday night saw the OCN Blizzard return to Centennial Arena to take on the high flying Portage Terriers in the back end of the week-end double header. Like 24 hours earlier the Terriers jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead as Tyler Moore buried his 29th of the year just over six minutes in. Tanner Waldvogel, on a highlight reel end to end rush, put the home side up 2-0 with his 17th goal of the season at the 14:41 mark. OCN picked up the only goal of the second, as they would cut the lead in half heading to the third. Just a buck nine into the final frame Stephane Pattyn, who's been hotter than a fire cracker lit at both ends, deflected a point shot for his 9th of the campaign to restore the Terriers two goal lead. Several solid saves by Portage starter Jordan Washburn kept the 3-1 score intact until Tyler Moore rifled his second of the game and 30th of the year into the open cage with 75 ticks left on the scoreboard. With their fifth straight victory, the Dogs record improved to 29-17-4-6 good for 68 points in the tough Sher-Wood Division. They pull to within two points of second place Swan Valley, as the Stampeders lost 3-2 in a shoot-out to the Waywayseecappo Wolverines. Both teams have played 56 games and each has 6 games remaining on their 2009-10 schedules. Next up for the Terriers is a Tuesday night match-up against the Natives in Neepawa. You can catch all the play by play action with the voice of the Terriers Jeff Dyck by clicking on the online streaming link at the bottom right corner of this page. Portage will then return home for a four game homestand beginning with games against the first year Steinbach Pistons on Thursday night and then a crucial match against the Swan Valley Stampeders next Saturday. |
