There were no Halloween scaries for the Trenton Golden Hawks at Port Credit Arena Saturday.
Ben Radley’s first goal as a Hawk and Eli Zucker’s 31-save shutout highlighted a 3-0 blanking of the Mississauga Chargers, snapping Trenton’s eight-game losing skid.
Neither team blinked in period one, with Mississauga edging Trenton in shots 9-8, before Radley got the Hawks on the board 3:50 into the second.
The Iroquois, Ont. product one-timed a Niko Krmpotic feed through traffic and past Owen Leonard, with Beckett Ewart adding the second assist.
Kaiden Harmon extended his point streak to three games with a powerplay goal from Radley and Ryan Chamberlain about halfway through the frame to give Trenton a little breathing space.
The team locked things down in the third and a Charlie Gage empty-netter from Nathan McHattie and Thomas Harnett helped to preserve Trenton’s first win since October 2 and Zucker’s first victory as a Golden Hawk, evening out the weekend.
Trenton can secure a winning record of the whole weekend in Pickering Sunday night at 7:30 p.m.
