Joneljim Cougars

Battle of Cape Breton

   
Breton Sport & Trophy Cougars travelled to the western side of CB to battle Nova Jr X Men at Port Hawksbury Civic Centre.  Nova would get on the board first on the PP, Avery Warner from Logan Timmons and Spencer Barron.  Leon Denny would get a PP goal of his own for the Cougars, Dylan Pimentel and Derek Gentile had the helpers.  Timmons would then score for X, again with the man advantage, Warner and Barron assisting.  Cougars trail 2-1 after the first.

In the 2nd, Colton Marchand would tie the game up on a play from Logan Struthers and Owen Higgins.  Logan O'Neil would put the Cougars ahead by 1 after a battle behind the net, Chase Fraser had the helper.  However, the Cougars found themselves in penalty trouble again and the line of Timmons, Warner and Barron would collect their 3rd PP goal of the night.  The score was 3-3 after 2 periods.

The third was all Cougars.  Pimentel would score the eventual game winner, tipping a Higgins point shot.  O'Neil also had an assist on the play.   Gentile would score coming out of the corner after Struthers made an incredible play to keep the puck in the Nova zone to put the Cougars up by 2.  Marchand would add an insurance marker from Fraser and Gentile.  Final score 6-3.  Kaine Drake was solid especially in the 3rd for the W, Colten Ellis suffered the loss.  Shot totals were unavailable.

Cougars next host the Truro Bearcats for 2 games next Saturday at 7 PM and Sunday at 11 AM at Emera Centre Northside.
