Cornwall 4, Nepean 2

Ottawa 5, Rockland 4

Pierre-Luc Veillette notched a goal and an assist for the Ottawa Jr. Senators in a 5-4 comeback win over the Rockland Nationals at Ottawa’s school-day game.

Conor Smart’s empty-net, short-handed goal at 16:18 of the third period proved to be the winner for the Jr. Sens (15-3-2), who took both points off the Nats (11-7-2) in front of a bumper crowd of 542 at the Jim Durrell Complex.

With the win, Marty Dagenais’s Ottawa team became the second in the CCHL to hit the 15-win mark this season.

Hawkesbury 4, Kemptville 2

A double dip from forward Matt Gasuik led the way as the Hawkesbury Hawks doubled up the hometown Kemptville 73’s by a 4-2 score.

Michael Marleau had a trio of assists for Rick Dorval’s Hawks (11-5-0), while newly-acquired Ryan Faith assisted both Kemptville (3-16-1) goals in the loss — his 73’s debut.

Wednesday’s win was the third in a row for the surging Hawks, while Kemptville has now lost six-straight games and sits 12 points out of a playoff spot.
