The Capitals played with a lot more gusto right from the opening face off Walkerton fired pucks at the West Grey net only to have the net-minder make some fantastic saves. Walkerton was able to get the first goal when Cole Saunders sent a pass to a streaking Tyler Wallace who lifted a wrist shot over the blacker of the Warrior’s goalie at 6:41. The period ended with both sides making rushes into the opposition zone but only the one goal to show for the work.
The second period was pre of the same Walkerton controlled most of the play but again the goalie stopped everything sent his way. Our own goalie Teghan Kauk made several key saves when called upon. With just over 1 minute remaining in the period Cobi Johnson found a loose puck at center ice and took off towards the West Grey net and buried his shot to the back of the net.
