The Kingston Frontenacs rallied from a 5-1 deficit to defeat the Soo Greyhounds 6-5 in overtime on Friday night. The Greyhounds held a commanding lead after two periods but the Frontenacs scored three unanswered goals in the third period before completing the comeback in overtime.
With what he agreed is a critical game 24 hours away on home ice, John Dean is trying to take the positives into it.
“I thought we were skating in quicksand for the better part of two periods,” Mann said. “I liked our push early in the second, but when they got that fourth goal, I didn’t think we had the energy to come back. Mieds scored to make it 5-2 and there’s a lot of positivity going into the third.”“It cannot happen with seconds to go,” Dean added. “We make a mistake in the offensive zone and that cannot happen.
The locals took a 2-0 lead as Owen Allard potted a rebound off a point shot by Chasse Reid 1:55 later on the power play. The home team took a 5-1 lead at 16:09 when Brady T. Smith picked up his own rebound in the slot and beat Schenkel. In addition to the two-goal night for Brady T. Smith in the game, Mignosa had a goal and an assist for the Greyhounds.Lalonde, acquired by the Greyhounds on Thursday from Kingston that sent Schenkel the other way, stopped 20 shots.Mann said the decision for the overage netminder to come out was made late in the second period and said he “apologized on behalf of the team” after the first period adding that he felt the Frontenacs “hung him out to dry” in the opening period.
