ST. JOHN’S, NL — The Newfoundland Regiment responded with a statement 6-2 victory over the Cape Breton Eagles on Friday night at the Mary Brown’s Centre to tie the first round series back up at 1-1.

Blake Pilgrim-Edwards pounced on a loose puck five minute into the first period to give Newfoundland a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes.

Dawson Sharkey and Justin Larose tacked on insurance markers early in the middle frame to make it 3-0 Regiment before the Eagles clawed back a couple later in the second to cut it to 3-2 heading into the 3rd.

Newfoundland found another gear in the final 20 minutes however as Pilgrim-Edwards and Larose both found the back of the net a second time before Louis-François Bélanger made it a half dozen for the home side with 90 seconds to go as they bounced back in style from their game one defeat with a 6-2 win.
