LANTZ: <\/strong>Six different scorers found the back of the net as the East Hants Bitars Ristorante Penguins doubled up rival Sackville Blazers before a fair sized crowd on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League game was played in the Keith Miller Arena at the East Hnats Sportsplex in Lantz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crowd estimated at 200 fans were on hand to watch the entertaining game that saw the Pens in control for most, but one that saw mental lapses result in Sackville keeping the game close. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Hants led 2-0 after the first and 4-2 after 40 minutes of play.<\/p>\n\n\n

Leading East Hants was Chris Caissie with a goal and two assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, there were multiple other players at one goal and one assist. Among those were Nick Morin; Finley Diab; Nik Xidos; Braedy Kirton; and Aiden Nicholson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assists went to Jacob Sanford of Kennetcook and Jake O’Connor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fintan Boudreau earned the goaltending win between the pipes stopping 34 of 37 pucks sent his way. The Pens fired 42 pucks on Sackville goalie Leaf Korthals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pens are back in action on Oct. 3 when they head to Shearwater to face the Capstone Colts in a 7:30 p.m. puck drop.<\/p>\n\n\n
