Quinte takes a 2-0 game lead over Whitby in the opening round of playoffs.
On Thursday the Devils hosted the Whitby Wildcats for game 1 of the first round of playoffs. The Devils would find the back of the net first just 3 minutes into the game and then would strike again and take a 2-0 lead heading into the second period. Whitby would answer back in the second scoring twice and tying the game at 2 goals each. In the third period both teams would score twice and the game would be tied again at the end of regulation. The game would go into a 10 minute sudden death overtime period. Your Devils would score in the OT period and take the game 5-4 over the Wildcats.
On Saturday the boys travelled to Whitby for game 2 of the series. The Devils would get on the scoreboard first 1 minute into the game but the Wildcats would answer back a few minutes later. In the second period Quinte would score twice and Whitby once. It was 3-2 Devils at the start of the third period. Quinte would strike first in the third and increase their lead by two goals. With less than a minute to go Whitby would pull their goalie and have a man advantage over the Devils. This helped them find the back of the net one more time but it wasn’t enough as your Devils would hang on for the 4-3 win and take a 2-0 game lead in the series.
The Devils will host Whitby for game three Thursday @ 8:15pm at the QSWC (Family Dental Centre).
