Westminster Wins

Westminster hosted Canterbury Jan. 16 for an important game heading into a tough stretch ahead. Any opportunity to build momentum before the weekend is important, but it would require the Martlets to find their footing and get grounded again. More grit, more speed, more want. Canterbury played hard from start to finish, but Westminster ground out the win thanks to a solid effort in the last few minutes of the third period. The first period lacked the attention to detail and determination necessary on either side of the puck to take any advantage. The Martlets were able to string together several short stretches of time where they had control of the tempo, yet those moments didn’t last. The second period was better. Westminster played harder on the walls and generated some solid chances, eventually breaking through when Malik Alishlalov ‘20 beat the Canterbury tender off a nice feed from Iggy Belov ‘20. Canterbury answered toward the end of the second to tie the game at one. The third period was the best of the night, with more consistent play on both sides of the puck, with the edge going to the Martlets. Simple and effective decision making, and grit, made the difference. Ned Blanchard ‘20 scored on the power play with about seven minutes remaining, and Nate Pane ‘19 would score moments later. Sean Clarke ‘19 added one to seal the victory with just over a minute to play in the game. Overall it was a good effort and a good win for the Black and Gold. Hopefully Westminster will be a more complete line up with more boys returning from injury and illness in the next few days. Shots ended up at 38 to 9 in favor of the Martlets. Loomis is up next.
