LANTZ:<\/strong> If it wasn’t for the goaltending of Grant Sanford, the East Hants Junior Penguins would have stood no chance to even attempt a rally in NSJHL play on Oct. 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cole Harbour Capstone Colts came out flying before about 125 fans at the East Hants Sportsplex in Lantz and never looked back, holding what had looked like a good offensive package in the earlier games of the Pens to just 20 shots on goal in a 4-1 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Colts scored twice in a 1:42 span in the third period to coast to the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanford was peppered in goal by the Colts with 44 shots. He stopped 40 of those pucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bruen Fisher was the lone Penguin to breakthrough a solid Josh MacArthur in the Cole Harbour net with a third period goal to tie the game up. But the Colts scored twice in a span of 1:42 to make it 3-1, going on to the 4-1 victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pens don’t have much time to regroup as they head to Liverpool on Saturday night to battle the Privateers. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Hants is back home next Friday night Oct. 22 when they entertain the Privateers in a rematch. Game time is 7:30 p.m. at the East Hants Sportsplex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
