The Carleton Place Canadians put their powerplay to work
Friday night with a 4-1 win over the Cumberland Grads.
Philippe Adam got the Canadians on the board first with a
powerplay goal midway through the first period.
Carleton Place’s
own Zach Farris netted the Canadians’ second goal of the night with about eight
minutes left to go in the second frame.
In the third period, the Grads’ Mitchell Gallant got a
powerplay goal to keep Cumberland
in the game after Luke Martin took a hooking penalty.
But Canadian Tyler Kotlarz scored a powerplay goal about two
minutes later putting the home team ahead 3-1.
With time running out, Cumberland
pulled goalie Adam Ladroute. The Canadians held the Grads off and Samuel Coyne was
able to get the empty-netter with one second left on the clock for the 4-1
final.
The Canadians outshot the Grads 36-20.
The Brockville Braves host the Canadians Friday night at
7:30 p.m. On Saturday night, the Ottawa Junior Senators come to Carleton Place.
