Mason Zebeski, Calvin Crombie, and Brad Gardner also scored in the win, with the power play converting multiple times. Goaltender Arvin Jaswal started in goal for this game versus Flint, showcasing his ability to play in tight games.
The Colts followed it up with a strong 4-2 win in Saginaw, outshooting the Spirit 43-23. Cole Beaudoin and Brad Gardner both scored on the power play, with Gardner's 23rd of the season standing as the game-winner. In goal, Ben Hrebik delivered an outstanding performance, making several highlight-reel saves and continuing his run as one of the OHL's top goaltenders.
Barrie now turns its focus to a busy 3-in-3 weekend, beginning Friday against the Brampton Steelheads, followed by a home-and-home series with the North Bay Battalion.
