Kingston Frontenacs at Barrie Colts

Thursday, February 3, 2022

The Kingston Frontenacs (23-10-3-0) won 5-2 over the Barrie Colts (20-11-4-0) in front of limited spectators back in the arena for live OHL hockey. Shane Wright (1G,1A) registered a multi-point game for the fourth time in his last six games and Jordan Frasca scored his 50th career goal as the Fronts opened up a three-point lead on idle Hamilton in the East Division standings.

Kingston now travels to Sudbury to take on the Wolves in the second of back-to-back games tomorrow night.

Leevi Meriläinen made 32 saves and earned his 19th win for Kingston facing OHL goaltender of the Month Mack Guzda in the cage for the Colts who stopped 22 of 27 shots.

Barrie was missing some significant players up front. Jordan Frasca would not play against brother Jacob as the latter was out with a shoulder injury. The Colts were also without suspended forwards Declan McDonnell (8 gms) and Ethan Cardwell (15 gms).
