4pt Night For Mike Lennon, As Ice Dogs Win In Overtime
#10 Mike Lennon Tonight ( 2G-2A-4pts ) Season (7G-25A-32pts)
What a game! Started out with Dryden having FULL CONTROL early, and ended in an Overtime Win in Sioux Lookout, Ontario tonight. There wasn’t much happening for the first 10 minutes of the first period, besides back and forth action. Then with Sioux Lookout being short a man, Andrew Hansen scored on the powerplay at 11:09 of the first, with Tim Kavanaugh and Mike Lennon getting the assists. Then at 14:10 of the first period, Sioux would find themselves down a man once again, leaving the door open for Mike Lennon to score on the powerplay, after getting the pass from Kyle Heck at 15:26. That would make the score 2-0 in favour of the Ice Dogs, and 2 for 2 on the powerplay for Dryden’s league leading special teams.
Second Period we go, with Dryden maintaining the 2 goal lead. Former Dryden Ice Dog, and Sioux Lookouts newest Addition, Darren Turner would get his first goal, being back in the S.I.J.H.L making it 2-1 for the Ice Dogs early in the second. Then late in the second period, Sioux would add two more to make it 3-2 in favour of the Flyers.
Wouldn’t be long into the third, before Justin Lightfoot would light the lamp, to tie things up at 3. The goal would come at 2:23 of the third with the assists going to Tanner Harms and Mike Lennon. Not much else would happen for the rest of regulation time, as the teams would find themselves going into Overtime.
Overtime would be short lived as Mike Lennon would score the winner, and add his fourth point on the night at 1:31 of overtime. Kyle Heck would get the assist on the winner.
Other notes from the game : Affiliated player, Kevin Raine, suited up for his second game with the Ice Dogs. for tonights match. Raine had a good showing, proving he has the strength on the back end, battling hard in the corners and making a few good checks.
The Ice Dogs will now come home, and back their bags, and get ready to make the trek across the boarder, as they are heading out this weekend to face the Wisconsin Mustangs in a two game set. Again, these games will count for points for the Ice Dogs, but not for Wisconsin. We will keep you as up to date with the scores and stats as we can.
