Kingston ON- An Incredible offensive effort in the third period leads to the Mustangs winning 6-2 against the Paladins
It was a slow first period, with most of the action going in the Paladin's favour. RMC outshot Western 20-13 through twenty minutes
The final five minutes of the period showed a much better Mustangs effort. A huge save from Western netminder Jack McNaughton in one end led to Christiano Aiello finding the icebreaker in the other.
The second period began with the Mustangs on the penalty kill. The Paladins were unable to capitalize on the powerplay, although it helped RMC get their legs into the game.
RMC found an equalizer midway through the period and doubled their lead towards the end of the forty-minute mark.
Both teams looked evenly matched to start the third period.
Jacob Dietz took a hard slap shot at the blue line which beat Paladins goaltender to tie the game up at two and get the Mustangs back into the competition.
Once the score was equal, all the momentum favoured the Mustangs.
After forcing an icing and winning an offensive zone face-off, Western forward Andrew Bruder tipped the puck into the back of the net. This put the Mustangs ahead once again in tonight's game.
With about seven minutes left in the game, RMC received a five-minute penalty. Western went on to score three powerplay goals.
Jack York scored the first to double the Mustangs lead. York was first to the rebound and had no problem getting the puck past Joe Ingram-Chambers, Paladins goalie.
Quickly after, Aiello recorded his second of the game. The goal was thanks to a beautiful passing sequence between Shane Bulitka, Reed Morison and himself.
With just over two minutes left in the game, Noah Danielson secured the Mustangs two points with a great shot from the point.
Western will play the Queen's Gaels tomorrow (Nov 25) at 2:30 in Kingston. Mustangs fans can watch the action on OUA.tv
