Scott Pulled Early; Lakers-Devils Skate to 3-3 Tie

OSWEGO, N.Y. -- The Oswego State men's ice hockey team skated to a 3-3 tie Saturday night with Fredonia. The Blue Devils lit the lamp twice early in the first period. That prompted Laker coach Ed Gosek to hand the netminding duties of senior All-American Ryan Scott to junior Chris Hyk.

Hyk kept Fredonia off the board for the remainider of the first, allowing the Lakers to even the score. Co-captain C.J. Thompson found the twine to start the Lakers' scoring in the 10th minute.

Minutes later, the Blue Devils were called for a delay of game resulting in a penalty shot for Oswego State. Gosek tabbed Ryan Ellis to take the shot. He backhanded the puck past sophomore backstop Kevin Amborski to tie the game at 2-2. The goal was Ellis' 100th point as a Laker, he's the 46th player to achieve that milestone at Oswego State.

The second period saw no scoring, but Junior All-American Brendan McLaughlin was hit with a 10-minute misconduct penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. The penalty was a result of a post-whistle altercation with Devil blue-liner Andrew Babiarz in the period's fourth minute.

Fredonia took the lead again with 8:34 left to play in the third period. Junior pivot Richard Boyce came barreling into the net for a rebound shot, putting the puck across the goal line just ahead of him.

The Devils remained in the lead until Francois Gagnon found the net for the second time in as many nights. The French-Canadian defenseman had made a key glove stop to keep the puck in the attack just seconds before putting it between the pipes. Gagnon had also tied up the previous meeting between the two teams late in their SUNYAC tournament game last season.

The overtime saw only two shots on net, both from the Lakers as each side came away with a point in the conference standings. Conference leader Plattsburgh distanced their lead over the Lakers with a 5-4 come-from-behind overtime victory over Geneseo.

Peter Magagna did not dress for the Lakers tonight. Listen to the post-game audio with Coach Gosek in the video box to find out why.
