Cambridge Cages Tigers In OT

The Cambridge Hornets and Stoney Creek Tigers did battle at the Galt Arena Gardens on a freakishly thrilling Friday the 13th night. Stoney Creek bookended the scoring in regulation to send the game to an extra period, but it was the Hornets who slashed the Tigers’ hopes of victory in overtime.

Bo Webster got the visitors on the board just 2:01 into the game, scoring the only goal of the first period. The next goal didn’t come until the 5:43 mark of the second, when Cambridge’s Tyler Wade netted his second of the season to even the score at one. Zach Magwood gave the Hornets the lead 92 seconds later, scoring his third of the season.

It remained 2-1 in favour of the home side until Josh Pietrantonio scored for the Tigers with 1:43 left in regulation to tie the game and send it to overtime. In the extra period, it took just 54 seconds for Cambridge to end it, with Chris Leveille notching his first goal of the season and sending the fans home happy.

Marc Williams picked up the win, his second of the season, stopping 31 of 33 shots in the Hornets’ net. Evan DeBrouwer made his second career start and took the overtime loss, allowing three goals while making 36 saves.

Cambridge (2-2-0-0) returns to the ice on Friday, November 20th when they host the Wentworth Gryphins (4-0-0-0) at the Galt Arena Gardens at 7:45pm. The Tigers (2-0-2-0) head back on the road Saturday night, November 14th, to face the St. Catharines Saints (2-2-0-0) at the Merritton Centennial Arena at 7:30pm.
