BLUES STUNG IN OVERTIME

Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's hockey team dropped a 3-2 overtime decision to the Concordia Stingers on Friday, November 29 at Varsity Arena.

With the loss, the Blues drop to 9-4-2 and sit in third place in the OUA West, while the Stingers improve to 4-7-3 and are seventh in the East. 

Down 2-0 early in the second period, second-year forward Tyler von Engelbrechten got the Blues on the board, capping off a tic-tac-toe passing play with Dylan Heide and Lane Werbowski on the powerplay.  Concordia led 2-1 after 40 minutes of action.

Marcus Yolevski evened the score seven minutes into the third period with a goal assisted by Russell Turner and Cameron Bernier. Blues netminder Garrett Sheehan stood on his head in the final seconds of regulation to force the overtime period.

Werbowski had the Blues best chance in the extra minutes, ringing a point shot off the post, but it was Concordia who would find the back of the net, as George Lovatsis found the mesh with just 15 seconds to go in the frame.

The Varsity Blues look to bounce back tomorrow night as they host the No. 6 UQTR Patriotes at 7:30 p.m. It's the second annual Holiday Toy Toss – fans are encouraged to bring a soft toy  to toss onto the ice at the game to benefit the CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish. All fans who bring a toy receive a free hot chocolate compliments of the Varsity Blues.
