Robert Kay scored one goal and added one assist to lead the Varsity Blues men’s hockey team to a 3-0 victory over the third-place Nipissing Lakers on Saturday night (Feb. 5) in North Bay, Ont.

With the win, the Blues are 10-10-0 and move into a tie with the Concordia Stingers for sixth place, while the Lakers drop to 16-8-3 and sit in third place in the OUA East.

Kay opened the scoring with what would be the eventual game-winner eight minutes into the second period on a Toronto powerplay. The Orono, Ont., native then set up Paul Dupont’s goal on another man advantage 6:24 into the third period.

First-year forward Michal Markovic would add an insurance marker with 17 seconds remaining in the game to secure the 3-0 upset victory.

Rookie goaltender Garrett Sheehan made 23 saves and earned his first career shut out in the victory.

The Varsity Blues return to the ice next Friday, February 11 when they host the Lakers at Varsity Arena. The Blues will honour their graduating players prior to the puck drop at 7:30 p.m.
