#34 Newly acquired Brandon Maxwell made the start in Goal for the
majors also #10 Andrew Goldberg made his debut tonight for the majors.
The game started at a great pace. Both teams showed great skating and
puck control. The Battalion started to take the period over by winning
the board battles deep in the Majors Zone. Brampton also began to step
up their physical game throughout the period. Using the body gave the
Troops the early lead as Captain Sam Carrick netted his 23rd
of the year. The troops domination in the first period was also seen on
the shot clock as Brampton held Mississauga to 3 shots in the first
period, shades of their Thursday night game versus Plymouth.
In the Second, the Majors came out with more force and were able to tie
the game at one off the stick of former Sudbury Wolves forward Kris
Kontos. The tie would not last long as the Majors would take the lead on
the Power Play. The Majors work their typical setup to find Riley Brace
just beside the net with a little tip in goal. The goal was his 23rd
of the year, but it wasn’t his last. 3 minutes after the Majors take
the lead, Brampton score twice to take back the lead for a score of 3-2.
Patrick Mahac and Alex O’Neil, their 10th and 1st of the season respectively. The Battalion would add to their lead and take a 4-2 lead heading into the 3rd period. Captain Carrick would score his second of the game on the Power Play, 24th on the year. After 40 minutes the Battalion out shot the Majors 30- 8.
Shots on goal would be a non factor in this game as the third period
saw Mississauga apply the pressure as Brampton would play their
defensive game and protect their two goal lead. Spencer Abraham would
take a high sticking call at 11:42 in the third and even thought
Brampton killed off the penalty. Seconds after Abraham took to the ice,
the same power play setup of Kontos to Brace found the back of the net
to make it a one goal game. With under 2 minutes left in the game BRA
Dylan Blujus takes a tripping call which gives Mississauga their 6th
power play of the game and Riley Brace completes the hat trick and ties
the game up at 4. The game was headed into Overtime with the ice tilted
in favour of the Majors as they had put 12 shots on goal in the third
while holding Brampton to only 6 shots.
Overtime did not decide the game so it was off to a shootout. After trading goals and saves the game was decided in the 8th round when Justin Rasmussen scored and Brampton’s Mitchell Porowski could not extend the shootout to round 9.
Mississauga picked up the extra point in the game and closed the
gap on the Division Leader, Brampton Battalion to 11 points. Brampton
with their SOL remained in first place in the Central Division. Both
Mississauga and Brampton have the night off on Saturdy but have home
games Sunday Afternoon, Saginaw and Sudbury respectively.
