The goal judges in Carleton
Place earned their pay Saturday.
A total of 14 goals were scored on the night, with the
Ottawa Junior Senators taking the 8-6 win against the Canadians.
A flurry scoring meant neither side could hold a lead for
more than a few minutes. By the time the opening period ended, the score was
already 3-3.
Ottawa
would score the only goal of the second period.
But the excitement returned in the third.
Carleton Place
tied the game at four when Zach Allen grabbed a loose puck while shorthanded,
danced around two Ottawa
defenders and fired one past Sens goalie Niels-Erik Ravn.
But then Ottawa
got three quick unanswered goals past Morgan Barr with about six minutes left
in the game.
The Canadians, who are becoming known as a hard-working team
that can’t be underestimated, rallied with a pair of Donovan Gardiner goals to
pull within one.
Ottawa
put the game out of reach with a goal in the final minute of play.
Ottawa
outshot the Canadians 28-22.
Carleton Place’s
next home game is Nov. 14 against Cornwall with
a match against Gloucester
the following night.
