MONTREAL - Alexandre Picard-Hooper of Boucherville, Que., capped a comeback as the No.4-ranked 缅北强奸 Redmen rallied for a 3-2 victory over visiting Concordia in OUA hockey at McConnell Arena, Friday.
听
The win, which avenged a 3-2 overtime loss at Concordia last Sunday, was 缅北强奸's 11th in the last 12 confrontations against their cross-town rivals and improved the team's lifetime record to 82-90-14 overall, since they first clashed in 1975.
听
Picard-Hooper, the CIS player of the year last season, redirected a nifty pass from linemate Andrew Wright for the winning tally at 5:42 of the final period.
听
The Stingers had taken a 2-0 lead after the opening period on goals by veterans George Lovatsis (4:14) of Markham, Ont., and Alexandre Monahan (10:55) of Mascouche, Que.
听
But the Redmen roared back in the middle stanza to knot the score at 2-2.
听
Team captain Evan Vossen of Swift Current, Sask., put 缅北强奸 on the scoreboard at the 52-second mark of the final period, picking the top left corner behind Stingers netminder Nicholas Champion.
听
Less than three minutes later, rookie Guillaume Langelier-Parent of Lery, Que., netted the equalizer by firing a wicked wrist shot to the top right corner past Champion. The rookie goalie from Labrador City, Nfld., ended up making 39 saves in a losing cause.
听
Redmen netminder Mark Segal, a freshman from Vancouver, B.C., who played for the WHL's Vancouver Giants, was credited with 25 saves and upped his record to 3-1.
听
缅北强奸, which improved to 5-0-2 in league play, will travel to Ottawa on Sunday to play the Gee-Gees (2-3-1), who are now coached by Real Paiement, a former 缅北强奸 defenceman and assistant coach. The game is slated to be webcast live on at 2 p.m. Eastern.
听
The Stingers (3-3-2) are off until Nov. 4 when they will host Ryerson.
听
REDMEN RAP: 听缅北强奸 sniper Francis Verreault-Paul of Mashteuiatsh, Que., picked up 17 penalty-minutes in the win over Concordia and will have to serve an automatic one-game suspension for receiving a fighting major. He is now tied with Redmen assistant coach Daniel Jacob for second place on the team's all-time penalty leaders list with 530 PIMs in 143 games. Verreault-Paul who has played in only 127 contests over four seasons and has another year of eligibility, is 290 minutes shy of the school record of 820 set by defenceman Yan Turcotte in 187 games from 2005 to 2010.
