Feb 14, 2020 | 10:19 AM

The Grimshaw Huskies only won three games all season, but were able to put together wins when it mattered most. The Huskies defeated the Falher Pirates 6-3 Thursday night, to advance to the NPHL semi-finals.

Following what was a tight-checking first period, Christian Kenny would sneak one into the Pirates net with 27 seconds left in the period to make it 1-0 Huskies.

In the second the Pirates would tie it up with Trevor Tokarz scoring at the 13:15 mark.

The tied game wouldn’t last long as the Huskies would take control, scoring three times in the second to take a 4-2 lead heading into the third.

Once the third period arrived, the Huskies were able to pull away. Ty Wiebe would add a goal 11:45 into the third to extend the Huskies lead to 5-2.
