The Junior C Blues split two overtime games last week, leaving the Junior C hockey team just two points behind division-leading Chippawa, despite some tough battles and key injuries.

The Blues’ record after last week’s shootout win and overtime loss was three wins, two losses and three overtime losses. This season mark’s the team’s 50th anniversary.

Last Thursday, the Blues outshot Dunnville 70-17 but ended regulation tied, stymied by a hot goaltender. Dundas goals were scored by Kyle Draper and Kevin Dowling, with assists from Scott Kearsley, Jordan Emick and Brian Buehler.

Dundas took 31 shots on the Dunnville net in the third period, but didn’t score. The home team outshot Dunnville 7-1 in a five-minute overtime, but no goals forced a shootout.

Draper and Emick both scored for Dundas, while goalie Scott Anderson held Dunnville to one shootout goal, finally sealing his first victory in net for the Blues.

“We outplayed Dunnville from the drop of the puck and throughout the entire game but ran into a hot goaltender,” coach Steve Aglor said.

On Friday, the Blues were flat for the first two periods in Caledonia. Nick Bazinet found the net in the first, but the Corvairs took a 2-1 lead into the second period, which went scoreless. The Blues came back strong in the final frame with a power-play goal from Dowling, assisted by Emick and team scoring leader Cole McNeil.

For the second time in two nights, and the third straight game, the Blues went into overtime. Like the night before, they outshot their opponents –this time 34-29 –but it was Caledonia who found the net in overtime for the win.

The team’s next home game is Thursday, Oct. 30 against the Simcoe Storm.
