Niagara IceDogs News Release
The Niagara IceDogs fell 6-3 to the Mississauga Steelheads in Mississauga on Friday night.
Mitchell Theoret would get the IceDogs out to just the start they were looking for, scoring only 14 seconds into the game to give the IceDogs a 1-0 lead. The IceDogs would have several other close scoring chances in the opening minutes, but would be unable to extend the lead and Mississauga would add a pair of goals in the final three minutes to send the IceDogs into the first intermission trailing 2-1. Shots after one period would favour Niagara 15-11.
The second period would see Brett Ritchie continue his strong play, as he netted his 11th goal in his last four games to knot things up at 2-2 at the 9:55 mark. Unfortunately, the IceDogs would find themselves on an extended 5-on-3 penalty kill and they would nearly kill it off, but Mississauga would finally strike with two seconds left on the 5-on-3 to make it 3-2. Mississauga would then add another goal in the final minute of the frame to send the IceDogs into the intermission down 4-3. Shots after 40 minutes were 22-17 IceDogs.
Theoret would once again get the IceDogs off to a good start in a period, scoring just over a minute into the third to cut the IceDogs deficit to 4-3. Mississauga would answer back however to put the IceDogs down two once again 5-3. They would then add an empty netter to hand the IceDogs a 6-3 loss.
The IceDogs will now return home to St. Catharines where they will play host to the visiting Peterborough Petes tomorrow night at 7pm. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at all IceDogs ticketing locations.
