Colts stay in the mix with win over Raiders
The Cornwall River Kings got back in the win column with a 4-2 victory in Saint- Georges Saturday night. The River Kings went up 3-1 on the pow- erplay with 3:17 to go in the game, then scored any empty netter, but not before Saint-Georges made it interesting by climb- ing back within one goal late in the game. Loic Lacasse was named first star with 46 saves for the River Kings. The River Kings also updated the public on the condition of enforcer Dannick Les- sard. “Dannick is recovering as well as can be expected after suffering gunshot wounds last weekend,” said River Kings governor Patrick Lacelle on Friday: “He is now in stable condition in hospital. Doctors say they will monitor his condition daily and when he is healthy enough, they will operate on his arm.” “The organization is asking fans and the media to respect Dannick`s and his family`s privacy during this difficult time. The police investigation is ongoing which means the organization has no further comment on the events of last weekend.” River Kings steal one in Saint-Georges
