OTTAWA (February 3, 2018) – The No. 9 Queen's Gaels (18-5-3) continued their wild week with a crazy come from behind 4-3 overtime victory over the Carleton Ravens (16-6-4) on Saturday night. Just two days after winning a barn burner against RMC in the Carr-Harris Cup, the Gaels were able to tie the game late against the Ravens and pull out the victory in the extra frame.
Slater Doggett (Oakville, Ont.) played the role of hero by not only tying the game with one second left in regulation time but also scoring the game winning goal in overtime to send the Gaels home with their sixth straight victory.
GAME FLOW
Queen's started the first period off on the right foot when
Luke Edwards (Kingston, Ont.) scored his seventh goal of the season on the power play at 3:59.
Darcy Greenaway (Wilton, Ont.) later added his 14
th goal of the campaign to send the Gaels into the first period intermission leading 2-0.
Carleton would answer back near the midway point of the second period when forward Adam Chapman beat Gaels netminder
Kevin Bailie (Belleville, Ont.) for the Ravens first goal of the night. No more goals were scored in the second period and Queen's would head into the third frame leading 2-1.
The third period saw the Ravens tie the game just over six minutes in, when CJ Garcia scored a power play marker to make the score 2-2. Just before the halfway point of the period, Alexandre Boivin put the Ravens ahead for the first time in the game with his 9
th goal of the season.
In a game that seemed all but over in the dying seconds of the third period, Doggett dug deep and was able to beat a defender to the net and get a shot off to beat Ravens goalie Francois Brassard with one second remaining on the clock to secure a much-needed point for the Gaels.
Just over a minute into the overtime period, Doggett would once again come up big when he ripped a wrist shot past Brassard and into the back of the net, his second of the night and 17
th on the season. The goal not only gave Queen's the victory, but it also puts them into the driver's seat for the second seed in the OUA East standings, sitting three points ahead of Carleton after tonight's game.
