Round 2 Game 4: Generals have chance to close series on Ottawa ice
Oshawa, Ont. – The Oshawa Generals are gearing up for Game Four at Ottawa’s TD Place as they hope to close the series tonight with a 4-0 sweep. The series currently sits at 3-0 in favour of Oshawa after a perfect weekend on home ice and a nail-biting Game Three on Tuesday where the Generals took the triumph in overtime.
Oshawa has been in the driver’s seat this entire series, winning Game One last Friday 4-3, Game Two on Sunday 6-1, and Game Three on Tuesday 4-3. Stand-out players have included the Generals’ top forward line, with New York Rangers prospect, Dylan Roobroeck, 2024 Draft prospect Beckett Sennecke, and Colorado Avalanche prospect Calum Ritchie, who are each top-three in the Generals’ playoff point, goal, and assist leaderboards. Defenceman Luca D’Amato has racked up eight points, coming in fourth in the top-five and fourth in assists, including four assists on the power play.
Last Tuesday, the Generals came out on top in an almost 80-minute game. Ottawa’s Braeden Kressler scored twice in the night while Henry Mews finished with a goal and two assists. It was Kressler who had tied the score at three with 2:10 remaining to force overtime. Connor Lockhart ripped a shot over the shoulder of Collin MacKenzie with 2:53 left on the clock in the extra frame as the Generals climbed ahead 3-0 in the series. Roobroeck had yet another multi-point game with a goal and an assist, defencemen Ben Danford and Connor Punnett got a goal each, and Sennecke picked up a pair of assists. Both teams had 42 shots on goal to wrap up the game, and tonight Ottawa will be putting their best foot forward in order to save themselves from elimination.
