Watertown Wolves News Release
It was County Night this past Saturday when the Watertown Wolves hosted the Northern Federals at the Watertown Municipal Arena.
The Wolves racked up seven goals in the first twenty minutes of the game. Tyler Gjurich sent the puck to CJ Hayes for the first goal just sixteen seconds into the game. Anton Lennartsson's unassisted goal was the second score for the Wolves. Hayes lit the lamps again on a play from Gjurich and Paul Fregeau. John Scully's goal was assisted by Gjurich and Aleh Shypitsyn. Hayes's hat trick goal was set up by John Scully and Tyler Gjurich to make it a six point lead. Gavin Yates topped off the period with a goal of his with assists from Paul Fregeau and Ryan Rotondi.
Tristen Perreault-Gagnon got the Federals on the board early in the period. The Wolves were able to successfully kill Cody Karpinksy's unsportsmanlike penalty, but they were unsuccessful in holding the Federals back on Tyler Gjurich's simultaneous slashing and roughing penalties. Ryan Alves made the power play goal on a pass from Vyacheslav Goyev via Perreault-Gagnon. Perreault- Gagnon would make it the goals for the Federals on a play from David Asselin and Alves. Cameron Dimmitt assisted in Jesse Facchini's short-handed goal during Dallas Ingram's timeout for tripping. John Scully's hat trick goal was assisted by Hayes and Gjurich. Jesse Facchini would make it three goals for Watertown in the period also when he scored from Anton Lennartsson's deflected shot.
Each team put up one additional goal in the third period. Peter Mott scored for the Federals and CJ Hayes got his fourth goal of the game on assists from John Scully and Kyle Powell.
The first star of the game was awarded to CJ Hayes (4 goals, 2 assists). John Scully (3 goals, 3 assists) and Tyler Gjurich (6 assists) earned second and third stars respectively.
