CALGARY – Sidney Crosby scored twice as the Calgary Chinook stopped a two-game losing streak by defeating the Dartmouth Lakers 3-2 on Tuesday night.
''If we want to win the Cup, we have to know how to rebound from a loss,'' Crosby said.
Crosby scored the game-winner at 2:54 of the third period.
It was a back and forth outing. Crosby opened the scoring at 3:26 of the first period then Nash tied the game at 13:18 for the Lakers. Granlund scored at 10:09 of the second period, a minute later Kruger tied it at two. Crosby scored early in the third period and eventually hang on to win the game.
''It's a good experience for us because we bounced back from a losing streak,'' said Johnny Gaudreau, who only scored once in 19 games.
''The Lakers are a hard-working bunch and they are not going to let you have an easy game,'' Calgary coach Eugene Yip said. ''We took a while to engage into it, and once we did, we were fine. It's a good learning lesson.''
Howard made 12 saves as the Calgary Chinook held on late to beat the Lakers, who wasn’t as bad as the standings show. “They are a talented team with Parise and Hall in front. Talbot has been playing lights out for them. If Talbot played every game, they are pretty much a playoff team. “
