The North Bay Skyhawks let a 3-0 lead slip away but rebounded in overtime to defeat the Sudbury Junior Wolves 4-3 on Wednesday night at the McClelland arena in Greater Sudbury.
Joe Trotter scored twice for the Skyhawks - including the overtime winner. Brad Norkum and Chad Jones added the other goals in the win.
“We had a great start to the game,” noted Skyhawks head coach Ian Swalucynski.
“It was a back and forth game with a lot of powerplays and both teams had a lot of sustained pressure.”
Ian Wilson got the win in goal for the Skyhawks. The Oklahoma native made a key stop late in the game on Brenden Biedermann to preserve the victory.
The Skyhawks finished 2 for 9 on the powerplay while the Jr. Wolves scored once on six powerplay opportunities.
The Skyhawks next action is this Friday when they host the Sault Ste. Marie Thunderbirds.
