Cam Fowler’s power play goal mid-way through the third period broke a 1-1 tie, as the Georgetown Millers
defeated the Sudbury Miners, 3-1 on Tuesday night. With the win, the Millers have now 9 of their past 10
games.
Mike Hoffman would also contribute, scoring his 25 th of the year. Ben Chariot would add an insurance marker
late in the third to round out the scoring for the Millers. James Reimer would made 26 saves for the win.
"I don't think we played poorly. I think they did a good job for long periods grinding us down and we got
tired," said Miners forward Ben Smith. "Sometimes when you get tired you make the wrong decision and we
couldn't find an answer to push back."
Philip Danault opened the scoring in the first period but that was all the offence that the Miners could muster.
Ben Bishop stopped 26 of 29 shots for the Miners, who have now lost 6 out of their past 7 games.
Despite this stretch of losing games, the Miners are trying to stay positive as they look to finish the season on
a high in the last 20 games.
“I think we played two good first periods and when you go out to the third tied 1-1 against a good team in
their building, you're feeling good," Danualt said. "They played better than us in the third. They came out
harder and it was little details that made the difference. Their goalie did an outstanding job and kept them in
the game."
MINERS NUGGETS
