M-Hockey Playoff Roundup : Ravens force Game 3
Facing a must-win situation at the Ice House Friday night, the Carleton University Ravens men’s hockey team forced a third and deciding game in their OUA East semifinal series as they skated away with a 4-1 victory over the UQTR Patriotes.
The Ravens will travel to Trois-Rivières, Que. for Game 3 on Sunday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m.
Carleton had a quick start to the game, controlling the majority of the play. The Ravens pressure paid off when Brandon MacLean (Burlington, Ont.) made a cross-ice pass to an open Joey Manley (Ottawa), who made no mistake, giving Carleton a 1-0 lead six minutes into the first.
The Ravens took a two-goal lead midway through the period off a powerplay goal by Andrew Self (Peterborough, Ont.), his fourth of the playoffs.
Pierre-Luc Lessard (Thetford-Mines, Que.) scored the lone goal for UQTR on the man-advantage with 6:37 left to play in the second.
A goal by Joe Pleckaitis (Toronto) and an empty-netter by Ryan Berard (Niagara Falls, Ont.) in the third period rounded out the scoring for the Ravens.
