On A Roll..................

Devin was the starting goalie for the past three games in three nights. The team played on the road in Niagara and Kitchener and home with Kitchener on Saturday. The Otters beat Niagara 4-2, went into Kitchener and won 6-2, then came home to a record crowd to beat Kitchener in a shootout. Kitchener came out fighting and were up 2-0 after the first period. In the first few minutes of the second Otters scored and followed that with another goal a few minutes later to tie the game. Otters went up 3-2 in the third period; however, with two minutes left in the game Kitchener tied it up and the game went into overtime. After one minute of play the Otters got a penalty and it was 4 on 3 for two minutes. Devin made some stellar saves and the game went into a shootout. The crowd was on their feet, Devin stopped the first goal and the Otters scored so its 1-0. The next shooter scores and we score so its 2-1. Devin stops the next shooter and Otters win the game4-3. A six point weekend before the holiday break was a huge win for the team and a great confidence booster. Devin was a third star in two of the three games. Now they have a ten day break before they have to be back in Erie to prepare for the next few games.
