LANTZ:<\/strong> The East Hants Penguins continued their impressive start to the Nova Scotia Junior Hockey League season with a commanding 8\u20132 victory over the Brookfield Elks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game was played on Friday night at Keith Miller Arena in the East Hants Sportsplex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The win improves East Hants to 7-1-0-0, keeping them near the top of the NSJHL standings through eight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward Chris Caissie was unstoppable, scoring four goals and adding an assist in a performance that included both the game-winner and a short-handed tally in the second period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He opened the scoring in the first and sparked the Penguins\u2019 offence as the home side took firm control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Hants\u2019 special teams were sharp once again, going 3-for-4 on the power play and adding a short-handed goal while keeping pressure on Brookfield throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Penguins\u2019 had 29 penalty minutes while the Elks were also assessed 29 penalty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Hants is back in action next Friday when they host the Sackville Blazers in Lantz. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against the Lumberjacks in Lunenburg on Saturday, Chris Brill scored the lone East Hants tally as they lost 2-1 in overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fintan Boudreau suffered the goaltending loss, but did earn a point for the Pens.<\/p>\n\n\n
