Colts make a point two consecutive games
Colts, who outshot the Braves 32-20 after outshooting the Lumber Kings 67 to 22 on Thursday night. Owen Gill tied the game 1-1 midway in the second period before Blasko and Quince exchanged goals in the third to send the game to overtime. Michael Pontarelli evened up the score in the shootout on the Colt’s second try, but a miss by the Colts’ third shooter, Carl Beliz- ario, opened up the door for Chris Roll of the Braves, who made good on his opportunity. It was a slightly different story on Thurs- day night against the Lumber Kings in Corn- wall. The Colts, trailing 4-2 at the end of the second, came back with three unanswered goals between 3:29 and 16:28 of the third to take their first lead of the game. But Keegan Harper tied it for Pembroke on the power play and with the goalie pulled with just 55 seconds left in the game. Then Ben Dalpe broke a 1-1 shootout tie after three shooters to give Pembroke the win.

The two points squandered in the two shootout losses may not seem like much, but they have allowed the Braves to sneak past them into second place in the Rob- inson Division and supplanting the Colts, who just last week were third overall in the CCHL. The silver lining is the two points salvaged by forcing the games to overtime and the

subsequent shootouts have saved the Colts from falling to seventh place overall, a spot they haven’t seen since December. The Colts, despite dramatically outshoot- ing the Braves, had to make a late come-
back to salvage the game. Marly Quince scored with 1:49 left in the third to tie the game 2-2 less than three minutes after Ben Blasko had given the Braves the lead. Billy Ulrick opened the scoring for the
