Shoot Out Win in Niagara

The Sudbury Wolves played their second game in as many nights on Saturday night as they travelled to St. Catharines to take on the Niagara Ice Dogs.

After a scoreless first period, the Wolves were the first to the scoreboard when JOSH LEIVO (FRANK CORRADO) scored his 7th goal on the season to give the Wolves a 1 – 0 lead.  The Ice Dogs scored the equalizer at 16:07 with Freddie Hamilton being the first Ice Dog to slide the puck by Wolves netminder JOHAN MATTSSON after nearly 25 shots.

The teams remained tied and would need a shootout to decide the extra point.  In the shootout, the duo of MATHEW CAMPAGNA and MICHAEL SGARBOSSA continued their shootout prowess – both scoring on their attempts while Mattsson kept them out on the other side to give the Wolves the 2 – 1 victory.

JOHAN MATTSSON had an outstanding night in goal making 44 saves during the game plus 2 more important ones in the shootout to earn the game’s 2nd Star.  Ice Dogs netminder Mark Visentin made 22 saves in the shootout loss.

The Wolves will close out the weekend on Sunday afternoon in Brampton in a matinee with division rivals the Brampton Battalion.  Game time is 2:00pm and you can catch the live call from Stew Kernan by tuning into KFM 95.5.
