The Milton Menace were able to stop a mid-game comeback in its tracks and get the win on Tuesday night.
It was the Menace versus the Haliburton County Huskies at the S͘G Nesbit Memorial on Tuesday, October 24th with 475 people in attendance. Captain Connor Driscoll opened the scoring at the 11:23 mark in the first period. His powerplay goal was assisted by Alexander Siletsky and Sett Ursomarzo. The Menace took that 1-0 lead into the first intermission.
Ivan Fabjan then opened the second period with a shorthanded goal, assisted by Nicholas Wereha. The Huskies were able to score two unanswered goals in the middle of the period before Gavin Sheehan opened the door. His go-ahead goal was also assisted by Siletsky and Ursomarzo. Milton led 3-2 after 40-minutes of action.
In the third period, the Menace ran away with the game. Driscoll potted his second of the game and his tenth goal of the season. It was assisted by Graeme Macauley and Justin O’Donnell. To put the bow on the game, Wereha buried an empty netter, assisted by Fabjan. Milton beat Haliburton County 5-2.
