The Grandview Steelers demonstrated some important bounce-back Tuesday in a 4-0 win over the Delta Ice Hawks.
Coming off a disappointing defeat last week to the first place North Van Wolfpack on home ice, Grandview hit the road and delivered a cut-and-dry performance, cued by some solid shut-down
defensive work.
The Steelers took the lead on Jeffrey Wong’s first of two, a powerplay effort 6:08 into the game.
Ten minutes later, Braeden Gurney counted his 12th of the season, on an assists from Timothy Chow, to expand the lead.
Wong, with his 10th of the year, and Ian Prevost completed the offence.
Netminder Cole MacInnes turned back 30 shots to earn the shutout, as Grandview improved to 15-6-0-2, second overall in the Tom Shaw Conference behind North Van.
They lost some ground in their chase of the Wolfpack last Sunday, when the visiting North Van team eked out a 3-2
decision at the Burnaby Winter Club.
The Wolfpack, who hold a five-point advantage in the battle for top spot, led 3-0 before the Steelers made it close, with markers from Chow and Wong.
Grandview visits the Port Moody Panthers on Saturday, then return home Sunday to host Delta, 4 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.
