Wallaceburg Red Devils Even Up Series With Big Home Win

After falling behind early, the Wallaceburg Red Devils rallied behind a large home crowd to tie up their opening playoff series 1-1 against the Spartans (St. Catherines).

In the first period, Jordan Durston, who is newly returned from knee surgery, scored twice, while Jordan VanDamme and Rob Pollock also had goals. The Spartans however would hold a 5-4 lead heading into the second period.

After extending that lead to 7-4, Wallaceburg turned everything around and didn’t allow the Spartans to score another goal in the game en route to an 18-7 victory. VanDamme and Brendan Shepley scored before the second period was out.

Wallaceburg would score 12 unanswered goals in the third period with pairs going to VanDamme, Durston, Clint Lamarsh, and Marcus Lagerstrom; and singles coming from Reid Miller, Doug Bennett, Brayden Hopkins, and Pollock.

Wallaceburg will travel to St. Catherines next Saturday for game three, before returning home to Wallaceburg Sunday for game 4, which will kick off at 4pm.
