1/22/17 Unifor 3264 (3) @ Paris Wolfpack 2 (3)
Playing their second game in two days, the Unifor 3264 Bantam LL team would find themselves trailing by two goals heading into the third period against Paris. But this time the comeback kids would be rewarded for their efforts.
The game was evenly played through the first period with both teams generating opportunities but neither team would be able to find the back of the net. The second period would start with the game tied at zero.
A turnover in front of the Unifor 3264 net would see the home side deposit the puck in the Unifor 3264 net for the first goal of the game.
Unifor 3264 would tie the game early in the third period when Liam Carson would score on a wrist shot set up by Caleb Clifford.
Unifor 3264 would have to battle back again on the road as a questionable hit from behind on defense man Alex Ball was not called. The play would continue and Paris would capitalize on the advantage and take the lead 2-1. A few minutes later Unifor 3264 would find themselves down by two goals with less than 8 minutes left in the game.
The visitors would cut into the lead with 7:38 left when winger Kieghan Osmond's slapshot would fool the Paris netminder and trickle in to make the score 3-2. Unifor would complete the comeback with just over two minutes left in the game when Carson would score his second goal of the game on another wrist shot. Assists on the tying goal went to Clifford and Dylan Russell.
The final two minutes of the game would see Unifor 3264 spend most of the time in the Paris end trying to generate the game winning goal. The game would end 3-3 as the visitors earned a hard fought tie.
The team is next in action Monday Jan. 30 when they host Port Dover.
