Greyhounds Struggle to End 2019

SAGINAW, MI - It was a key game against a division rival with important points on the line and it turned into a disappointing night for the Soo Greyhounds.

The Saginaw Spirit scored twice in the final 2:07 of regulation time to pick up a 3-1 Ontario Hockey League win over the Greyhounds at the Dow Event Center in Saginaw.

With just over two minutes to go in regulation time, Camaryn Baber took a shot from the slot that was deflected by Ethan Cardwell in close past Greyhounds goaltender Bailey Brkin for the game-winner.

It was a bounce-back game for Brkin though, who earned the praise of his coach following the game.

"It would have been a lopsided score if it wasn't for Bailey," said Greyhounds coach John Dean.

"Bailey was fantastic," Dean added.

The Greyhounds coach went on to say the decision to start Brkin was tough after Ethan Taylor entered Saturday's game against Sudbury and played well, helping the Greyhounds to a win over the Wolves.

"We owed it to Bailey for what he's done over the last 13 or 14 games," Dean said.

Brkin made 37 saves for the Greyhound
