After an impressive win over their arch-rivals Friday night, the early season Trenton Golden Hawks’ road woes continued in Stouffville Saturday night.
The Spirit blew five second period goals past the Hawks en route to an 8-5 victory on Saturday night.
The home side jumped out to a 2-0 advantage in the first before the Hawks clawed back.
Coming off a four-point night versus Wellington the previous night, Beckett Ewart buried his team-leading fourth of the season before Charlie Gage tapped in a Musclow pass off the rush to tie the score.
Stouffville re-established their lead and then some in the second, pulling ahead 7-3 on a pair of goals from Christian Armstrong and one each from Cale Williams, Xavier Rowe and Clarence Allain, sandwiching a Ryan Chamberlain marker.
Trenton’s netminders changed from Hayden Jeffery to Nolan Nicoll in the third and the Hawks scored twice, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit.
Kaiden Harmon finished off a three-way passing play with Musclow and Ethan Brassard and Ryan Chamberlain found the net for a second time in the frame.
Chamberlain (two goals), Harmon (one goal, two assists), Brassard (four assists), Musclow (two assists) and Liam Fisher (one helper) factored into the scoring for the Hawks in the defeat as Trenton dropped to 2-4-0-0 on the season.
The Hawks round out their busy weekend Sunday at 5 p.m. in Toronto against the Warriors.
