Wolves Midgets open with road win 2010-02-27 by Randy Pascal
It seems as though the momentum of Wednesday's big game five win over Timmins may have spurred a little carry-over effect
for the Sudbury Nickel Capital Wolves. Opening their Great North Midget League semi-final on the road in New Liskeard,
the Wolves bolted out to a 3-0 first period lead, holding on to down the Cubs 4-1.
Kyle Stasiuk notched a pair of first period markers, with Andre Comtois squeezing one in between and
Peter Poulin-Roy provides the necessary insurance, finding the empty net with just 23 seconds remaining as Wolves
take a 1-0 series lead.
Cody Blauth replied with a second period goal for the homeside as the Cubs struggled to solve Sudbury netminder
Adam McKibbon. The game was a quiet one, from a penalty perspective, with each team assessed just two minors apiece.
The teams return to the ice for game two in New Liskeard Saturday night while the Nickel City Sons kick off their
best of five affair in Sault Ste Marie with games on Saturday and Sunday versus the North Stars.
