Bulldogs now trail Jr. Eagles by only 3 points

The Antigonish Jr. Bulldogs and Eskasoni Jr. Eagles put on quite a show at the Dan K. Stevens Memorial Arena Wednesday night in a Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League make-up game.  The Bulldogs recorded a 5-4 win thanks to a pair of power-play goals 30 seconds apart with less than six minutes to play in regulation.  The goal scorers were Kevin Walker and Owen Chisholm.  It was the only scoring of the third period after Eskasoni rallied from a 3-1 deficit to take a 4-3 lead after forty minutes.  Marcellus Francis scored twice and collected a pair of assists for the Jr. Eagles with both of Francis’s goals coming on the power-play.  Tyler LeFrense scored the other second period goal for the now 18-8-0 Jr. Eagles.

 
 
The Bulldogs took a 3-1 lead after the opening period with a power-play goal from Owen Juurlink, the first of his two in the opening frame.  Juurlink’s two goals came only 12 seconds apart. Owen Forsythe opened the game’s scoring for Antigonish.  Noah MacKinnon finally scored the Jr. Eagles first goal on the power-play late in the opening period.  Eskasoni outshot Antigonish 32-27 and now lead the Jr. Bulldogs by 3 points in the race for first place in the Sid Rowe Division.  The Bulldogs have 33 points and are 16-8-1, holding one game in hand on the Jr. Eagles.
