After opening a three-game road trip with its first win of the season over the Windsor Spitfires on Thursday night, the Soo Greyhounds beat another team that has caused problems on Saturday night.
After dropping the previous five meetings, the Greyhounds went on the road and beat the Saginaw Spirit 4-1 in Ontario Hockey League action at the Dow Event Center on Saturday night in Saginaw.
The game was one that Coach Drew Bannister would be pleased with following the victory.
“It was probably one of our better game on the road,” said Bannister. “We controlled pretty much the whole game.
“For probably about 50 minutes of that hockey game, we controlled it.”
The team has now won six in a row on the road.
Bannister would also note the confidence of a young group that improves to 27-21-6-1.
“A lot of our young guys and playing with a lot of confidence and are comfortable with their roles on the team,” Bannister said. “They feel comfortable with what we’re asking them to do and they’re doing it and having success.”
Rookie forward Jack Kopacka had a goal and an assist for the Greyhounds while another rookie forward, Boris Katchouk, chipped in with a shorthanded marker.
