KINGSTON, Ont. – The Queen's Gaels (7-7-1) kicked off the
New Year with a 3-1 win over the visiting RMC Paladins (2-13-1) on
Tuesday night at the Memorial Centre in Kingston, Ontario.
With over a month in between games the Gaels shook off the rust
after a scoreless first frame as the team scored three times in the
second in an eventual 3-1 win. In his first game of action since
October 19, assistant captain Payton Liske of Fonthill, Ont. made
his return a memorable one adding a goal and an assist. Corey
Bureau of Amherstview, Ont. chipped in with a goal and two assists
of his own while Riley Whitlock of Calgary got the win with 21
saves.
The Paladins were led by Scott Domenico of Ottawa who scored the
lone goal for RMC. Andrew Fleming of Quispamsis, N.B. made 31 saves
in a losing effort.
In the first period the Gaels managed to kill off two late
penalties thanks to the impressive work of Gaels starting netminder
Whitlock who robbed a Paladin forward by diving to his right and
sprawling on the puck keeping the game all square at 0-0. The Gaels
outshot the Paladins 11 to six in the opening frame.
In the second period, shortly after killing off a Paladins power
play, Corey and Liske took the puck down ice on a two on one. The
two forwards then exchanged great back and forth passes before
Liske scored through the legs of RMC starting netminder Fleming. A
few minutes later it was Tyler Moore of Winnipeg who made it 2-0
with assists from Corey and Patrick McEachen of Stouffville, Ont.
With only 4:04 remaining in the period Corey broke down the left
wing and went short side past Fleming to make it 3-0. Liske added
the lone assist on the play. The Paladins would cut into the Gaels
lead with only 15.5 seconds remaining in the period when Domenico
got his seventh goal of the season with a shot that went off the
post and in past Whitlock.
The Gaels stuck to a defensive game in the third as they held on
for the 3-1 win.
Queen's returns to action on Friday as they travel to Nipissing to
take on the Lakers with puck drop set for 7pm.
ICE CHIPS: Gaels forward Payton Liske appeared in his first game
