Secondary scoring the key as Mustangs defeat Millionaires
The Melville Millionaires paid Melfort a visit Saturday night with the Mustangs walking away with a 5-1 victory, their ninth win in a row.
It took six and a half minutes for the Mustangs to get on the board, as Zach Anderson scored his eighth goal of the season on the powerplay. Melfort pressed hard in the first but that was the only goal they would get.
The Mustangs got two more goals in the second period off the sticks of Chase Anderson and Tyson Meyers. After two periods Melfort was outshooting Melville 27-16.
Zach Anderson scored his second of the night in the third period to make it 4-0, but Melville’s Eric Soar scored shortly after to draw the game back to 4-1. The Millionaires pressed hard in the last half of the frame, but couldn’t beat Shawn Parkinson who stopped 22 of 23 shots that came his way. Justin Ball netted an empty net goal to make it 5-1 and extend his point streak to 24 games, and wrap up this game. Head Coach of the Mustangs Trevor Blevins said his team did a great job adjusting after the Millionaires came out hard in the first period.
