Cameron Walker scored the Cubs’ lone goal of the evening
Devin Mauro tallied twice in the third period, including notching the eventual game-winner on a shorthanded breakaway, to help lead the Espanola Paper Kings to a narrow 2-1 triumph over the Greater Sudbury Cubs in a Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League contest Thursday evening at Gerry McCrory Countryside Sports Complex.
Action in the opening 20 minutes saw neither side convert offensively as the clubs went to the first intermission still in search of the night’s initial goal. Special teams helped the Cubs break the goose-egg early in the third as they capitalized on the power play, with Cameron Walker finishing off the work of Nolan Newton, who had made a lengthy rush up ice, by jamming in a loose puck that lay free at the top of the crease.
It was more Mauro magic midway through the third as he scooped up a turnover, went in alone on his shorthanded chance, and after partially losing control, it actually helped him snap it into the left side corner for his seventh goal in his past four outings and collect his second straight game-winner.
