Westminster Pulls It Out In OT
The Martlets set off for another huge contest Jan. 23 coming off their win at Avon Jan. 21. With only one day to rest, this would be a challenging game against a very capable opponent. Deerfield has had a very good season and has consistently been ranked in the top 10 in New England. They have an older team, a very good goaltender, and are very well coached. Deerfield didn’t play have a game Jan. 21, and they were quick to the puck right from the opening drop. It took the better half of the first period for Westminster to gain its footing and string together a few shifts with consistent pressure. DA got on the board first just about two minutes in, but as the period wore down Jordie McKenna ‘19 picked off a puck at his blue line creating a 2-on-1 with Quinn Armstrong ‘20. McKenna gave Armstrong a nice cross-ice pass and Armstrong buried the puck in the back of the net. The second period was a much better period for the Martlets. McKenna scored his second of the day off a nice pass from Will Gilson ‘20 to give Westminster the 2-1 lead. Minutes later, Gilson scored from the point with a nice shot that had eyes through a screen in front: 3-1 Westminster. At this point the momentum was fully behind the Martlets, however a five-minute major giving DA the power play would result in two power play goals that quickly changed the entire face of this contest. Tied at three and killing off another penalty at the start of the third, Westminster was on its heels a little, however, the team continued to generate quality chances throughout the game. With about 75 seconds to play, a DA player took a five-minute hitting from behind that sent the Martlets to the power play. Though unable to take advantage in regulation time, McKenna would net a great goal at the start of OT. Ned Blanchard ‘20 found McKenna flying to the left side and McKenna fired a shot glove side high that knocked the water bottle off to give Westminster the 4-3 OT win. It was a big win on the road. Kent is up next.
