The Fort Erie Falcons hosted the red hot Victoria Ronin on Tuesday night.
Victoria entered the contest having won 15 of their last 20 games while Fort Erie needed a win to increase their lead atop the CCHL standings with Siberia having lost earlier in the night.
Fort Erie opened the scoring with three straight goals before Victoria answered with three of their own, tying the contest at three just 14 seconds into the third period.
Alex DeBrincat put the Falcons back on top for good just 24 seconds later as he one-times an Alex Ovechkin stop pass over Juuse Saros blocker into the top shelf where Momma DeBrincat keeps the cookies!
Despite the back-and-forth contest, fans left the arena shocked by a fight between Artemi Panarin and Scott Mayfield in the opening minutes of the game.
Tony from Chippewa, Ontario was sitting ringside when the fight broke out right in front of him after a strange verbal exchange.
“So Mayfield kept calling Panarin “Dough Boy” and Panarin yelled back it’s “bread man” and then dropped the gloves saying Mayfield was going to be toast once he was done with him,” said Tony of the brawl.
While the fight was officially ruled a draw by the Simon T judges, it was certainly interesting to see Panarin lose his temper over a simple error.
“I wasn’t trying to insult him. I just couldn’t remember his nickname,” quipped Mayfield as he left the arena.
Fort Erie is back in action on Thursday night at home as they host the Long Island Express.
