Huskies take game one in Falher 4-2

Feb 5, 2020 | 9:56 AM

The Grimshaw Huskies defeated the Falher Pirates 4-2 Tuesday night to take a 1-0 series lead in game one the NPHL quarter-finals.

After a scoreless first period, the second saw some action. Trevor Tokar would open the scoring for the Pirates to give them a 1-0 lead on home ice.

With 8:41 left in the second Al Mazur would get the Huskies on the board and tie things up at one on the powerplay. The Huskies continued their goal-scoring just 40 seconds later when Tyler Brenner would pick up the puck and score to make it 2-1.

It would stay that way for the rest of the second. A frustrating finish to the period for a Pirates team that outshot the Huskies 16-5 in the frame.

In the third the Huskies continued their momentum, as Ty Wiebe would add a goal with 10:07 remaining to give the Huskies a 3-1 lead.
