Two third period goals helped the Lindsay Muskies skate away with another one goal victory over the Trenton Golden Hawks, 3-2 on Tuesday.
In front of a loud crowd of youngsters at a School Day Game at the Dunc, Trenton outshot Lindsay 13-7 in the opening frame, but couldn’t sneak one past Luka Gelinas in the Muskies cage.
Quinte Red Devils graduate Jack Foley got a piece of a point shot that switched directions on Eli Zucker for the opening goal not long past the halfway point of the second.
The Hawks response was swift, with Evan Norris hammering an Owen Rivers pass into the mesh behind Gelinas for his eighth of the season just over a minute later to even the score.
The start was strong for the Hawks in the third.
Defenceman Nathan McHattie squeezed home his first of the season, pouncing on a rebound off the right pad of Gelinas at the 2:35 mark of the frame.
But, Lindsay managed to flip the game on its head, getting a pair from Grant Jokic on the powerplay and another Foley goal on a bouncing puck with about seven minutes remaining to spur the Muskies to victory.
Final shots favoured Trenton 39-37 with Zucker making 34 saves as the Hawks four-game winning streak was snapped.
