Marco Mignosa scored a pair and added the shootout winner as the Soo Greyhounds rallied from two down in the third to clip the Owen Sound Attack 6-5 in Ontario Hockey League action Saturday night at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre.
Brady Smith, Jeremy Martin and Carson Andrew also scored for Soo (33-16-1-4).
Jake Crawford, Nick Sykora, Jared Langdon, Braedyn Rogers and John Banks had the goals for the Attack (20-28-2-4). Owen Sound lost its sixth in a row.
The Attack led 2-0 after the first, and 4-2 after two.
Martin scored just over two minutes into the third to bring the Greyhounds within one, 4-3 Attack lead.
Then at 7:59, the Attack would restore their two-goal advantage as Banks put a wrist shot past George just 12 seconds into a power play opportunity to make it 5-3.
Mignosa notched his second of the night at the midway mark of the third to cut Owen Sound’s lead to 5-4. And then with 3:50 remaining, Andrew deflected a Noah Laus shot from inside that blueline and got it past Matthew Koprowski to tie the game 5-5.
The Attack had to fend off a five-minute power opportunity for the Soo just to get it to a shootout.
Crawford was given a match penalty for a cross check on a faceoff in the defensive zone — an odd play where the linesman didn’t drop the puck and he lunged forward on the draw. Smith went down and then skated off. The officials reviewed the play and decided it was a match penalty.
Soo couldn’t break through on the five minute power play before the end of regulation. And the Attack held off nearly three minutes of 4-on-3 time for the Greyhounds in overtime.
George stopped all three shooters he faced in the shootout. Mignosa was Soo’s third up, and scored the lone goal to secure the comeback win.
George made 28 saves in the win, while Koprowski stopped 34 taking the loss. Soo outshot Owen Sound 39-33 while going 0 for 5 on the power play; the Attack were 1 for 4.
