Ramblers Win on the Road

Two third-period goals lifted the Ramblers to a 3-1 victory over host Campbellton Tigers tonight in Maritime Junior A Hockey League action in front of 664 fans at the Campbellton Civic Centre.

Eric Boudreau put the visitors on the board 6:48 into the second period. The Tigers' Jake Guindon tied it with 56 seconds to go in the frame.

Justin Matthews netted what proved to be the game-winner on a power-play at 7:16 of the third. Boudreau added a power-play goal with 3:40 to go.

Jon Waye made 32 saves to get the victory in goal.

The Ramblers dressed 16 skaters, two short of the maximum. Shane O'Byrne, Mitchell O'Neill and Brandon Mercer did not play, and Jonathan Pardy is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Mercer had been nursing a hip pointer. Ramblers head coach and general manager Corey Crocker said Thursday the team had been battling a flu bug.
