LANTZ: Five goals over the final two periods blew open a 2-1 deficit for the East Hants Ryson Construction Penguins en route to a NS JR C league win over the South Shore Schooners.
The Pens trailed 2-1 after the first but they rallied with five straight goals unanswered to earn the 6-2 victory.
Dylan Rafuse led the attack in the penalty-filled game with a pair of goals. Four other players had single tallies.
Among those four were Captain Sam Rogers with a nifty tally off a rebound and he quickly shot it by the South Shore goalie before he could react; Michael Julian; Noah Sutherland; and newcomer Ethan Hines.
