December 29, 2007
Dan Hyatt has been playing terrific hockey for the Jr.
Kings the last few weeks and Saturday night he came up big one
more time. With 2:17
left on the clock against the Mooretown Flags, Hyatt jumped on a
turnover at the Flags’ blueline, and skated in alone on
netminder Justin Belanger, deking right to left, before sliding
the puck in the open net for a 2-1 Dresden win.
The victory put the Jr. Kings in a tie with the Flags, and
the Blenheim Blades for the last two playoff spots in the North
Division.
Jeremy Park opened the scoring in the
first period at 5:13 on a shoot-in at the blueline, which
handcuffed Belanger and fell in behind him.
Joe Deboer and Josh Shaw drew assists.
Matt Beer evened things up for Mooretown at 18:51 with a
power play goal. There
was no scoring in the second period.
The score remained tied 1-1 until the
heroics by Hyatt, who has now scored in seven straight games and
leads the team with nine goals. Cam Graham was solid in the nets for Dresden, turning aside
26 shots. The Jr.
Kings fired 37 shots
at Belanger. The
Tunstall Three Stars were …….. Dan Hyatt, Alex McDonald, and
Jason Watson.
The Kings are off until Friday night
(Jan. 4) when they have a rematch against the Flags in Dresden at
7:30 p.m. Then they
travel to Alvinston for a Sunday matinee game at 2:30 p.m. |
