The University of Toronto Varsity Blues men's hockey team shutout the Queen's Gaels 3-0 on Friday night (Nov 8) in Kingston.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED: The game opened up with both teams exchanging offensive opportunities. Gaels goalie Luke Richardson and Blues second-year goalie Alex Bishop both made timely stops to keep the game tied through the first 20 minutes.
 
Just over six minutes into the second, Queen's coughed up the puck in the slot to Oliver Benwell who made no mistake and ripped the puck behind Richardson. The Gaels would give up another puck, this time to Kyle Potts who streaked up the ice and buried his third of the season.
 
The Blues continued their strong play at both ends of the ice in the third period. The Blues had a power play opportunity to start off the frame and defencemen Brendan Bornstein capitalized to push the Blues lead to three. Bishop stayed strong in the crease to solidify the Toronto victory.
 
Bishop made 36 saves and recorded his first shutout of the season in the winning effort.
 
UP NEXT: The Blues stay in Kingston to battle the RMC Paladins tomorrow afternoon at 3:00pm.
