The Notre Dame Hounds watched a 4-1 lead evaporate in the third period, but bounced back in overtime, defeating the visiting Estevan Bruins 5-4 (OT) on Wednesday night, ending their losing streak at three games.
Chaz Smedsrud (1g-1a) scored the winner just 34 seconds into overtime, and Alec Zawatsky had yet another big night, scoring once, and setting up three others including the winner. Zawatsky now has 5-goals and 5-assists in five games as a Hound, and has four straight multi-point games. Connor Mylymok (1g-1a), Chance Longjohn and Riley Perka also scored for the Hounds (4-3-1-1) and Jacob Standen made 28/32 saves.
The usual suspects were at it again for the Bruins (6-2-1-0) as well, with Michael McChesney (1g-1a) scoring his 11th goal of the season and Zach Goberis (1g-1a) adding his 10th and now has a league-high 22 points.. Jake Fletcher and Hayden Guilderson also both had a goal and an assist.
