In Lantz just over 24 hour later, the result was the same but the score was more lopsided, and the game included a little rough stuff and fisticuffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Hants used a five goal second period to blow open a 4-0 lead and make it 9-1 after 40 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pens had five players who contributed a goal and two helpers apiece. Those players were Andrew Shewfelt; Cam Pound; Ty Hunter; Regan Spears; and Jordan Wentzell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other players with single markers were Cedric Ralph; Tyler Pike; Jon Mason; Nick Goodwin; and Connor Rogers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryan Gillis was solid between the pipes stopping 18 of 20 pucks he faced for the win between the pipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pens are back in action on Friday night when they host their rival Truro Bearcats in Lantz at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
