HUNT STANDS TALL IN LOSS TO RAVENS

Box Score The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's hockey team dropped a 4-1 decision to the Carleton Ravens on Saturday night (Nov. 21) at Varsity Arena.
 
With the loss, the Blues drop to 4-7-2 and remain in seventh place in the OUA West division, while the Ravens improve to 9-3-0 and move up to fourth in the East.
 
In his second start in as many nights, third-year goalie Andrew Hunt stood on his head, posting 34 saves in the loss.
 
The Ravens controlled the play in the first period, as Hunt posted 14 saves to keep the game scoreless after 20 minutes.
 
The Blues did have a great chance to open the scoring late in the frame as Dylan Heide came out of the penalty box and found himself on a 2-on-1 with rookie Mathew Campagna, but Ravens goalie Patrick Killeen came up with a nice stop.
 
Toronto did open the scoring 2:41 into the second after a nice backcheck from Campagna allowed him to feed Max Flanagan a breakaway pass. The second-year forward from Edmonton made no mistake, slotting the puck over Killeen's glove for his third goal of the season.
 
The Ravens responded midway through the second as third-year defenceman Owen Werthner notched a shorthanded marker off a 2-on-1 opportunity to even the score at 1-1.
 
Carleton went ahead just four minutes later after a scramble in front of the Blues net resulted in a Hayden Hulton go-ahead goal. Toronto came up with some big penalty killing to close out the second frame down by one.
 
In the third, the pressure continued for both squads as Hunt and Killeen showcased strong periods. However, with two minutes remaining in the game the Ravens found an insurance marker courtesy Ryan Van Stralen who converted a partial break to make it a 3-1 game.

The Blues would pull Hunt to take a man advantage in the final minute looking to get themselves back into the game but an empty-net goal from Corey Durocher sealed the Ravens victory.
 
The Varsity Blues are back in action next weekend (Nov. 27-28) as they travel to Thunder Bay for two games versus the Lakehead Thunderwolves. Game time on both nights is 7 p.m.
