The Saugeen Shores Winterhawks ran their record to

3-0 with a 4-2 win over the Lucknow Lancers Friday

night in Saugeen Shores.

Ryan Fry got the Hawks on the board when he ripped

a high wrist shot that beat Lucknow goalie Jamael Jacklin

with just over two minutes left in the first period. 

Fry was set up by linemate Matt Turcotte who played 

another strong game.

The Winterhawks went up 2-0 in the second when Shawn

Walker buried a pass from Bryan Kazarian who hustled

along the boards  to keep the puck in the Lucknow end.

Ryan Dudgeon notched his first of the season to put the

Hawks up 3-0.  Dudgeon was the beneficiary of some great

work along the boards by linemate Darryl McKinnon. 

As is often the case, McKinnon  took a check behind the

net to make the play and hit Dudgeon with  a perfect pass

in the slot. Dudgeon made no mistake burying the feed

high on Jacklin's blocker side.

Lucknow got on the board late in the second when Tyler

DeVos beat Andrew Smith with a power play blast from

the point.

The Winterhawks widened the margin to 4-1 with a goal

just 17 seconds into the third period. Many fans were still

in the 'Hawks Nest when Brian Kazarian scored his second

of the season with assists going to Curtis Johnston and

Shawn Walker.

Walker made his presence known again later in the period 

when he laid a devastating open ice hit on DeVos who was

cruising through the neutral zone with his head down.

Lucknow's Brad Burton narrowed the margin late in the

third with a power play marker but the Hawks held on to 

cement the win.

The Hawks take to the road to face the Shelburne Muskies

on Saturday night. Game time is 8 p.m.
