Falcons give up late lead to top-ranked Comets

Date:

There was just one Capital Region Junior Hockey League game played over the weekend, with the fifth-ranked Lundar Falcons hosting the first-place Beausejour Comets on Saturday night.

Locked in a 3-3 tie late in regulation, Beausejour’s Jaedys Dancyt scored the game-winning goal to lift the Comets to a 4-3 victory.

The loss dropped Lundar to 4-13-0-3-2 on the season and extended its losing streak to four games, while Beausejour improved to 17-4-0-0-0, maintaining an eight-point lead atop the league standings.

The Falcons appeared poised for an upset after building a 3-0 lead by the midway point of the third period. Dylan Care opened the scoring in the first period, with Gavin Miller and Braeden Lukas adding power-play goals in the second and third.

Beausejour began its comeback at 9:59 of the third period when Dancyt scored on the power play. Vaughn Senebald followed with a shorthanded goal at 6:15 before Merrick Hucul tied the game with a power-play marker at 5:23.

Dancyt then netted his second of the night at 1:01 remaining in regulation to complete the comeback and secure the win for the Comets.

Lundar will look to rebound this weekend when it hosts the Arborg Ice Dawgs on Saturday night. Sunday’s scheduled game against the St. Malo Warriors was postponed due to weather.

Upcoming Games:

• Saturday, Jan. 24 vs Arborg Ice Dawgs, 7 p.m. at Lundar Arena

• Sunday, Jan. 25 at St. Malo Warriors, 2 p.m. at Rosenort Arena
