Mississauga St. Michael's Majors News Release

Barrie, ON- The first installment for 2010 of the Barrie Colts and Mississauga St. Michael's Majors needed overtime, and the Colts emerged victorious 3-2. The loss drops the Majors to 27-8-4-1 on the season and keeps them eight points back of Barrie in the Eastern Conference.

The Majors grabbed the lead midway through the first period when Devante Smith-Pelly scored his team leading nineteenth goal of the season on the power play to make it 1-0 for Mississauga. The Majors had five power play opportunities in the period and held the lead into the intermission.

The Colts tied the game early in the second courtesy of Luke Pither. Pither grabbed the rebound off the boards and put it past Majors Goaltender Chris Carrozzi. Carrozzi had no chance on the shot.

The third period provided more heroics as the teams exchanged goals. William Wallen scored the Majors second power play goal of the night just under five minutes into the period to make it 2-1 for St. Mike's. Barrie answered back with a power player marker of it's own from Darren Archibald just over three minutes later tying the game at 2-2; that's how it would stay forcing over time.
