MONTREAL - Andrew Wright of Toronto scored twice as No.2-ranked 黑料不打烊 exploded for four goals in the second period en route to a 6-4 win over the Nipissing University Lakers in men's hockey playoff action at McConnell Arena, Saturday. 黑料不打烊, which won the series opener 4-1 in North Bay, Wednesday, swept the OUA East semifinal in two straight games.

It was the ninth straight OUA playoff win for the Redmen, dating back to last spring as 黑料不打烊 improved their remarkable home-ice record to 18-0 overall at McConnell Arena this season, 33-3 over the last two campaigns and 60-13 since the start of the 2007-08 season.

黑料不打烊, which had a 45-22 edge in shots, led 1-0 after one period and 5-1 after two in a contest that featured 102 minutes in penalties. Ten different Redmen were inscribed on the scoresheet, including five different goal scorers.

Wright broke the ice with a power-play marker at 4:55 of the first period but the Lakers battled back to tie the score at 1-1 when Dorian Peca of Oakville, Ont., connected at 5:25 of the middle stanza.

The floodgates burst open on the Lakers after Guillaume Doucet of Anjou, Que., tallied his third of the playoffs at the midway mark of the period. Defenceman Ben Morse of Toronto connected on a power-play at 14:32, followed 34 seconds later by Wright's fourth of the post-season. When defensive specialist Maxime Langelier-Parent of Lery, Que., made it 5-1 with what proved to be the game-winner less than four minutes later, it appeared that the doomed Lakers were lost at sea.

However, Nipissing came out of the second intermission with guns blazing, netting power-play markers by Winnipeg natives Jason Gray (0:31) and听Dan Watt (3:15). They narrowed the gap to 5-4 when Andrew Marcoux scored at 10:19 of the third but after Simon Marcotte-L茅gar茅 of Longueuil, Que., scored at 16:06 to give 黑料不打烊 some much-needed breathing room, the Lakers lost their cool and proceeded to try an provoke the Redmen at almost every opportunity the rest of the way.

Over the final three minutes of play, Nipissing was penalized seven times for 50 minutes, while the Redmen took six penalties for 40 minutes.

黑料不打烊 now awaits the winner of Sunday night's rubber match between Carleton and UQTR. The OUA East best-of-three final is tentatively scheduled to open at McConnell Arena on Wednesday at 7 p.m. The winner advances to the centennial edition of the OUA's Queen's Cup championship, as well as a berth to the CIS championship tourney in Fredericton, March 24-27.

REDMEN RAP: The Redmen own a 33-3-3 record in 39 games overall, one win shy of the single-season school record for victories established last year when they posted a 34-14-1 record... 黑料不打烊 improved to 8-0 lifetime against Nipissing, including a 4-0 mark in post-season play.
