BOX SCORE KINGSTON, Ont. (January 7, 2011) – Payton Liske of Welland, Ont., had a goal and an assist in regulation and added the winner in the shootout as the Queen's men's hockey team (7-8-2) overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat the Toronto Varsity Blues (5-9-3) 4-3 Friday night at the Kingston Memorial Centre.

The win is the second in the row for the Gaels and moves them two points in front of the Varsity Blues in the OUA East standings. Queen's currently holds the seventh playoff spot in the conference while Toronto holds the eighth.

Toronto opened the scoring on the powerplay midway through the opening frame when Matt Walters of Winnipeg, fired a shot from the point past Gaels goaltender David Aime of Clandeboye, Man.

The Gaels would draw even on a powerplay of their own early in the second frame when Liske notched his second goal in two games.

However, the Varsity Blues would regain the lead shortly thereafter on another powerplay marker, this time off the stick of Dan Brewer of Cambridge, Ont. Blake Boddy of Ajax, Ont., stretched Toronto's lead to two just past the 11 minute mark of the second.

Before the period was out, Alexi Pianosi of Halifax, fired home his fifth goal of the season to get Queen's back into the game.

The Gaels would tie the game early in the third when Kelly Jackson of Toronto, beat Toronto goaltender Andrew Martin of Mississauga, Ont., short-side for his sixth goal of the year.

Both teams would get chances to take the lead but both goaltenders stood tall and with the help of a couple of posts, the game went to a shootout.

After Aime stopped the first two Toronto shooters, Liske wristed a shot past Martin from the hashmarks to give Queen's the advantage. Byron Elliott of Burlington, Ont., had one last chance for the Varsity Blues but Aime shut the door to complete the comeback.

Aime finished the game with 33 saves to even his record at 3-3-0 for the year. Martin stopped 29 shots in defeat for Toronto.

The Gaels are back in action Sunday afternoon when they will play their third game in four days against the UQTR Patriotes. Puck drop is schedule for 4:00 pm.
