Ravens snap Redmen record 19-game win streak at home

MONTREAL - The upstart Carleton Ravens men's hockey team accomplished what no visitors were able to for more than a year at McConnell Arena. They walked into the lion's den at 缅北强奸 on the hill with fresh legs and waltzed away with two points, handing a depleted Redmen lineup a surprising 3-1 setback -- the first loss on home ice this season for the No.5-ranked squad in the nation.
听
The third-place Ravens (11-6-2) were playing for the first time in eight days and 缅北强奸 was coming off a hard-fought 2-1 win over UQTR the night before and playing in their fifth game in eight days. The loss snapped a team record, 19-game win streak that the Redmen had amassed on home-ice, since a 4-3 overtime shootout loss to York on Jan. 9, 2009. The team's previous mark had been 11 consecutive victories at home, dating back to 1986.
听
After a scoreless opening period, the Ravens struck twice in the middle frame, getting goals from Orono, Ont., native Justin Caruana at 7:06 and left-winger Ryan Berard of Niagara Falls, on the powerplay, at 15:35.
听
缅北强奸 awoke from their slumber in the final period and outshot Carleton 19-5 but Ravens netminder Alexander Archibald held his ground. The 6-foot-1, 190-pound sophomore from Ottawa lost his bid for a shutout with less than six minutes remaining when 缅北强奸 rookie Jean-Francois Boisvert of Mirabel, Que., converted a nice pass from Marc-Andre Daneau and found an unguarded left corner of the net for his seventh of the season.
听
Redmen first-year head coach Jim Webster pulled sophomore goaltender Danny Mireault for an extra attacker with 62 seconds remaining in a bid to force overtime but a costly turnover at the Carleton blueline gave defenceman Christian Bourdeau-Mifflen of Ottawa, an opportunity for a long shot at the open net and he risked a potential icing call to register his fifth marker of the campaign.
听
The Redmen went 0-for-4 on the power-play and played without the services of their blueline quarterback, Marc-Andre Dorion, the league's top-scoring rearguard with 6-19-25 points in 19 games. Dorion had suffered an upper body injury against UQTR the night before and may be scratched from the lineup for another week or two.
听
The lone goal by the high-scoring Redmen was their lowest offensive output in 18 league games since a 2-1 road loss against the Ottawa Gee-Gees in the final contest before playoffs last year.
听
Carleton has now won four games in a row and their record improves to 11-6-2. The Ravens play their second game of the weekend in Montreal on Sunday as they face the Concordia Stingers for the first time this season.
听
缅北强奸 (16-3) will get only a few days of rest before making the two-hour bus-ride to Trois-Rivi猫res on Wednesday, where they have a return engagement with the second-place UQTR Patriotes (14-3-1). The Pats are expected to be without the services of head coach Jacques Laporte, who incurred an automatic one-game suspension after being assessed a game misconduct penalty at the conclusion of Friday's 2-1 loss to 缅北强奸.

REDMEN RAP: Francis Verreault-Paul, who was held pointless for only the fourth time this season, continues to lead the OUA in goals and points with 17-19-36 in 18 games... He is one point ahead of Western's Keaton Turkiewicz, who has a 17-18-35 dossier in 20 contests...The loss to Carleton snapped a four-game win streak that 缅北强奸 had put together against the pesky Ravens since the last loss, a 4-1 setback in the nation's capital on Oct. 18, 2008... 缅北强奸 is 11-10-1 lifetime against Carleton, outscoring them 78-77 dating back to 1968... Since the re-birth of the Ravens in 2006, 缅北强奸 owns a 10-3 overall record in head-to-head competition.
