Morin nets OT winner as Redmen rally over Ottawa

Published: 26 November 2008

MONTREAL – Defenceman Ken Morin of St. Prosper, Que., scored at 1:27 of overtime and added an assist as 山ǿ rallied to edge Ottawa 4-3 in OUA men’s university hockey at McConnell Arena, Tuesday.

Trailing 3-1 after the opening stanza, 山ǿ senior goaltender Jake Jarvis of Toronto came off the bench in relief of starter Danny Mireault and blanked Ottawa the rest of the way, making nine saves to register his first career regular season victory in his three years with the Redmen. Including non-conference play, Jarvis is 2-2-0 in four appearances overall.

“Changing goalies worked in our favour tonight and it was good to see him get his first league win,” said Redmen head coach Martin Raymond, who has rarely changed goalies during regular season games over his 14 seasons as bench boss. “He was pretty aggressive out there and the guys played real well in front of him.”

山ǿ outshot the Gee-Gees 36-18, including an unusually low 8-2 margin in the second period as sophomore Riley Whitlock of Calgary was saddled with the loss.

Ottawa took a 3-1 lead in the opening stanza on goals by Sean Grady (8:05) Matthieu Methot (14:52) and Kevin Glode (18:24).

山ǿ tied the game at 1-1 when Morin set up rookie Francis Verrault-Paul on the power play at 12:01, then fell behind by two before forcing the eventual overtime. A pair of second-period markers -- by freshman Alex Picard-Hooper, who lit the lamp at 7:11 and sophomore Vincent Lambert connected at 19:44 – made it 3-3.

The Redmen improved to 7-10-1 overall, including a 5-6-1 conference mark in the OUA Far East. They trail the third-place Gee-Gees (5-4-3) by two points with 16 games left to play.
山ǿ closes out the semester with a pair of road games in Toronto this weekend featuring return grudge matches against the Varsity Blues (Nov. 28, 7:30 pm) and Ryerson (Nov. 29, 2 pm), who swept the Redmen 6-3 and 3-0, respectively, last week.

REDMEN RAP: Senior Sam Bloom picked up an assist and improved his career totals in a 山ǿ jersey to 36-66-102 with 203 PIMs in 129 games…

Senior rearguard Yan Turcotte incurred a minor penalty and now ranks third among 山ǿ all-time penalty leaders with 475 PIMs in 119 career contests… The team’s all-time leader is Daniel Jacob (530), followed by David Grenier (507)...

Martin Raymond worked his 492nd game as bench boss of the Redmen and now owns a 272-187-33 lifetime coaching record at 山ǿ... The only coach with more games and wins in 山ǿ sports history is Rachèle Béliveau of the volleyball Martlets, who has a 388-354-2 record in 18 seasons.
