The Soo Greyhounds secured a crucial 4-1 win against the North Bay Battalion, ending a challenging stretch. The Greyhounds' resilience and strong team play were key factors in their victory, particularly their ability to maintain composure after North Bay tied the game in the second period.
In the midst of a stretch where the team has struggled, the Soo Greyhounds opened their final road trip before Christmas with a game they’re certainly happy with.
Dean said he was “really happy” with the approach of his team after North Bay tied the game early in the second period. Just 1:24 later, the Greyhounds took the lead for good as Chase Reid skated the puck into the North Bay zone before getting it to Mignosa. The veteran forward proceeded to hit a streaking Brodie McConnell-Barker in the right faceoff circle as he skated into the Battalion zone. McConnell-Barker proceeded to beat McIvor to give the Sault a 2-1 lead.
“Landon was great,” Dean said. “I’m really happy for him to bounce back and have a solid game. The guys worked in front of him as well. Goaltending is often scrutinized and forget about the five guys playing in front of him. Today was a good team effort and Landon was a big piece of that.
