Carleton Place Canadians 4 Kanata Lasers 2
Within the opening two minutes Kanata came out guns a blazing jumping out to an 2-0 lead. Spencer Van Tiem opened the scoring 68 seconds into the 1st – his 2nd. Forty seconds later Derek St. Jean gave Kanata an insurance goal. Midway through the 1st veteran D-Man Cade Townend got CP right back in – his 1st of 2018. Ben Tupker evened the scoring with a powerplay goal with under three minutes left. No scoring to speak of in the 2nd as the teams would enter the final period tied at 2. Back to back goals early in the 3rd from Peyton Francis and Andrej Hromic gave the Canadians four unanswered goals as they hung on to beat the Lasers on the road at the KRC. Owen Bennett got his first win of the season, stopping 29 of 31.
