The Port Moody Panthers notched their second win of the season after coming back from being down two goals to defeat the Richmond Sockeyes in overtime last Thursday.
The Pacific Junior Hockey League club gave up two goals early, the first being a power play marker buried by Richmond’s Jordan Andrews. His teammates Alex McLeod made it 2-0 ten minutes later when he buried a pass from Justin Schwartz to put the home team in the driver’s seat going into the first intermission.
But the Cats were undeterred and began chipping away at the lead when Trey Cadwell managed to put the puck past Richmond goalie Ty Taylor late in the middle frame assisted by Daniel Obcena.
Port Moody’s Cole Iantorno evened things up in the third period before Reece Bartel scored six minutes into overtime to secure the club’s second win of the season.
However, things did not go as well for Port Moody on Saturday when the club hosted the Langley Knights.
After spotting the visitors a 5-0 lead by the middle of the game, the Cats had dug themselves to deep of a hole to climb out of. Goals from Cadwell and Obcena were not enough to take back the lead and the team fell 5-2.
Port Moody will play Langley again on Thursday at the George Preston Recreation Centre before hosting the Aldergrove Kodiaks on Saturday at the Port Moody Arena.
