The Tottenham Steam narrowly missed out on a win Saturday (Jan. 14) when they gave up a third period loss to the Tillsonburg Hurricanes at the Tottenham Community Centre.
The Steam went ahead in the first period on goals from Viacheslav Chegrintcev, Ruskin Hughes, and Marcus Kvernes to lead the game 3-2.
The second period got started with a shorthanded goal from Hughes at just 3:39 into the period.
Outscoring the Hurricanes 3-2 for the period on two more goals from Hughes and Ryan Sutton, the teams entered the final period with the Steam leading 6-4.
It was the third period that caused the Tottenham team problems when Tillsonburg managed to score two goals by the 1:35 mark to tie the game at six.
Another Steam goal from Lukas Moravsky put Tottenham ahead just two minutes later.
The game ended when Tillsonburg scored a short-handed goal then went ahead late in the period to take the game 8-7.
After that game, Tottenham’s Viacheslav Chegrintcev is in the number five spot in points in the League with 78, and number four in scoring with 40 goals after 26 games.
