Spartans no match for Huskies in weekend series opener
Six different players found the net as the Huskies men’s hockey team put forth a second straight show of dominance in beating the Trinity Western Spartans 6-1 at Merlis Belsher Place on Friday.
Coming off a 5-0 win over Manitoba in their previous outing, the Dogs once again took advantage of a weaker opponent, scoring twice in each period en route to their fourth consecutive win. Four defencemen were among the goal scorers in a comprehensive performance.
“I thought we managed the game well and did a good job of sticking up for each other when we needed to, to mitigate any sort of shenanigans on their side, but overall I was happy with the effort,” head coach Brandin Cote said.
After a back-and-forth first few minutes, the Huskies took over. Cole Jordan opened the scoring at 9:10 with his second goal in as many games. A few minutes later, another blueliner chimed in as Landon Kosior wristed a shot through traffic for his second of the season.
