OSWEGO, N.Y.<\/b> — In yet another — as they all seem to be — classic Oswego-Plattsburgh showdown, 65 minutes of hockey could not decide a winner as every period ended with the teams tied.<\/p>\n
Plattsburgh led 1-0 and 3-2, but a Nick Rivait goal halfway through the third period knotted the game up for good at 3-3.<\/p>\n
“It was a great college hockey game playing for first place in a great atmosphere,” Oswego coach Ed Gosek said. “The guys who were in the lineup who haven’t played many minutes with us, I’m proud of the way all our guys played.”<\/p>\n
“If you were a fan, you certainly enjoyed yourself,” Plattsburgh coach Bob Emery said.<\/p>\n
Plattsburgh scored quickly less than two minutes into the game on a three-on-two down low. Connor Toomey passed it across the slot to the right where Brandon O’Quinn sent it past Matt Zawadzki.<\/p>\n
Oswego tied it up at 8:01, breaking Brady Rouleau’s shutout streak at 197:45.<\/p>\n
Shawn Hulshof couldn’t find anyone to pass it to, so from the high right slot area, he lifted a hard wrister over Rouleau’s glove.<\/p>\n
“I felt our best period was the first period,” Emery said. “I thought to come out of that period 1-1 was tough on our part. I thought we had some great looks.”<\/p>\n
Oswego took their only lead of the game a few minutes into the middle stanza on a two-on-one breakout.<\/p>\n
Mitchell Herlihey kept the puck, but his hard shot was stopped. However, the rebound came straight out, and a trailing skater, Mike Montagna, fired it home.<\/p>\n
With Oswego continue to dominate play in the second period, Emery called timeout. It worked like a charm.<\/p>\n
Immediately after returning to play, Plattsburgh tied the game. Kyle Hall banged in a rebound right out in front.<\/p>\n
“I was going to call a timeout earlier, but I hesitated,” Emery said. “Then I called it and, bang, we scored a goal. Everyone is an expert after the fact. I was just trying to light a little fire under them. I thought they came out of the locker room flat.”<\/p>\n
Early in the third period during four-on-four play while on a delayed penalty call, Plattsburgh took its second lead of the game.<\/p>\n
Toomey singlehandedly went through the Lakers’ defense and around the goalie to slide it over the line.<\/p>\n
Then seven minutes later, Rivait got his goal during a power play with another shot from the high slot once again beating Rouleau on the glove side, this time through a screen.<\/p>\n
Overtime saw both teams have excellent chances with Zawadzki having to make the more difficult saves, including a late breakaway.<\/p>\n
“I thought we had a great chance with a minute and a half left, and he made a great glove save,” Emery said. “Our goalie played well, too. It was a great hockey game.”<\/p>\n
“I thought he was very good,” Gosek said. “But at the same time, we had some pretty good looks in the second period.”<\/p>\n
Zawadzki finished with 30 saves. while Rouleau stopped 25.<\/p>\n
The tie keeps Oswego in first place by a point with one game left in the regular season. Oswego (17-2-4, 12-1-2) stays home to play Potsdam, who is fighting for a home playoff spot.<\/p>\n
Plattsburgh (17-5-2, 12-2-1) heads down I-81 to face Cortland, who is already eliminated from the playoffs.<\/p>\n
“It’s a tough one to swallow because a tie on the road so late in the year kind of puts us in second place depending on what happens tomorrow,” Emery said.<\/p>\n
“We’ll take the tie,” Gosek said. “It helps prepare us for the playoffs. A tie is better than a loss. We were down twice and fought back. It shows resilience.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
