A day after the Sudbury Wolves won a huge game against the Barrie Colts, they took their record of 7-17-1 on the road to Brampton to take on the Steelheads on Saturday afternoon.
The Pack did what they went to Brampton to do, winning an overtime game by a score of 2-1, their second victory in a row and their third in the last four games.
Karsen Chartier got the start between the pipes for the Sudbury Wolves while Luke Johnson was the starting goaltender for the Brampton Steelheads.
The first period saw very little action with the shots on goal margin being 9-6 for Brampton and the score remaining 0-0 after the first 20 minutes of play.
Exactly one minute into the second period, the Steelheads broke the scoreless tie when Gabriel Chiarot scored his 12th goal of the season after picking up a rebound from Avery which hit the goalpost, with the lone assist going to Joshua Avery, giving the Brampton a 1-0 lead.
With 10:43 remaining in the middle frame, and with Peter Green serving a two-minute minor penalty for elbowing, Artem Gonchar for Sudbury tied the game on the power play with a slap shot from the high slot area for his sixth goal of the season, with Kieron Walton and Luca Blonda picking up the assists, tying the game 1-1heading into the third period.
Both goalies came up with timely saves in the third period, and just like the first period, neither team could score, ending the third 1-1 and sending the game into overtime.
With just 24 seconds remaining in the overtime period, Kieron Walton scored his 16th goal of the season after stealing the puck in the defensive zone then blasting a shot behind Luke Johnson, an unassisted goal, giving the Sudbury Wolves a 2-1 overtime victory over the Brampton Steelheads.
The Sudbury Wolves look to win their third win in a row this afternoon back on home ice against the Sarnia Sting, with puck drop scheduled for 2:07 p.m.
