Niagara IceDogs News Release
A pair of goals from Kevin He and a hat-trick from Daniel Michaud put the IceDogs on top of the Battalion for a successful teddy bear toss in Niagara.
It only took 12 minutes for the Meridian Centre to rain teddy bears, courtesy of Kevin He who found the back of the net off of a perfect pass from Pasquale Zito. Four minutes later, Agostinelli on the back-check picked the pocket of a North Bay defender to send Daniel Michaud on a breakaway to score his third of the season. Josh Rosenzweig stopped all 18 shots he faced to keep the IceDogs up 2-0 to end the opening frame.
A quick goal off the draw for North Bay put the game within 1 at 2:50 into the second. Just 2 minutes later, Gerard Keane sent Pasquale Zito deep into the offensive zone to circle back and set up the rookie, Kevin He, yet again to make it 3-1 IceDogs. Despite a quick answer from North Bay, Andrew LeBlanc danced around 3 North Bay defenders to feed Gerard Keane on the point for a five hole goal. After two periods of play the score read 4-2 in favour of the home team.
Early on in the third period, North Bay took the lead with 3 straight goals in just 3 minutes. But just 2 minutes later, Juan Copeland corralled the puck to get into position and find Daniel Michaud for a one-timer on an open net for his second of the night to tie it up. The game winning goal came from Daniel Michaud at 11:35 for his third of the game and first career OHL hat-trick. The Niagara IceDogs scored a total of 13 goals in-front of the home crowd for a perfect weekend securing 4/4 points.
