Braedon Gurney’s goal five minutes into the third period not only stole the momentum back, but it keyed a three-goal run for the Grandview Steelers in a 5-2 victory over the Delta Icehawks on Tuesday.
The win in Ladner gave Grandview a 2-1 series lead in the Pacific Junior B Hockey League semifinal.
The Steelers led 2-0 with goals by Nicolas Bizzutto and Ian Prevost, but Delta rallied to pull even, tying it 30 seconds into the third on Michael Schellenberg’s third goal of the series.
With the Icehawks having erased a two-goal deficit, the situation called for some momentum busting.
And that’s just what Grandview did.
Gurney restored the Steelers’ lead at 5:08 and was followed a minute later when Bizzutto deposited his second of the game. Nico Bruno capped the offence with 3:14 left in the third.
Cole MacInnes turned aside 28 shots in the win.
The series continues Saturday in Delta, while Game 5 is slated for Sunday, 4 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.
