MHKY | Ravens Turn Luck Around

The Ravens turned their luck around and secured a victory over Nipissing. 

The Ravens entered the weekend on a bit of a bad luck run, having scored first several times but seen their leads slip away. Undeterred, the Ravens have continued to work hard and were finally rewarded over the weekend when they faced Nipissing. The Lakers arrived at the Ice House on a tear, having gone 4-0-1 to open their schedule. Unphased, Carleton jumped all over the visitors early. 

Alex Johnston opened the scoring in the first period, finishing off a beautiful tic-tac-toe 3-on-1 which featured a nifty through-the-legs pass from Nick McCarry. Johnston's first of the year seemed to empower Carleton.

The second period was physical and scoreless, but Carleton continued to build momentum. The Ravens found a rhythm and outshot the Lakers 9-5, but couldn't solve Zach Roy in the second. 

The Ravens' continued pressure paid off in the third when they broke the game open with three consecutive goals. Felix Bedard scored 1:06 into the frame, and Alex Fournier scored a shorty midway through the period to make it 3-0. Before the Lakers could respond, Alex Johnston potted his second of the contest to make it 4-0. 

The Lakers would get one back late in the period after Markas Samenas picked up a rebound off the rush, but it wouldn't be enough as Carleton gained their second win of the year.
