It was another close game for the Wellington Dukes, but another tough loss on Sunday.
Cole McLean’s powerplay goal with just over two minutes left in the third period stood as the difference in a 5-4 Lindsay Muskies victory at Lehigh Arena.
A fast start gave the Muskies some jump, going ahead 3-2 after 20 minutes on goals from Vincent Gazquez, Braxton Meyer and Shane Brown, with Evan Erwin and Landon Marleau replying on the powerplay for Wellington.
Ethan Murray ripped home another tally on the man advantage for the lone marker of the second, his eighth of the season to tie the score going into an important third period.
The Dukes discipline slipped away a bit in the third, with the team taking four penalties and incurring a couple of misconducts.
Nole Faulkner struck early on one powerplay to give Lindsay a 4-3 lead, before Carson Albert hit Zach Mascard with a lead pass to start a two-on-one shorthanded break that was finished by Vince Albanese for his fourth of the season to even the score.
