Sharks bite back to force game 5
By Greg Coulter The Wheatley Omstead Sharks roared back to life in a must-win game Sunday afternoon, March 27, at home with a decisive 5-0 shutout victory over Lakeshore. The opposition’s iron clad defence finally succumbed to a sustained Sharks attack while goaltender Ethan Handley continued his stellar play, earning the shutout. He was especially sharp in a wide-open second period, turning aside 16 shots, many while the Sharks were shorthanded. Liam Sinasac notched the game winner midway through the first, with Braedon Caetano adding a marker late in the second to allow a 2-0 lead into the third. The Sharks killed off a crucial double minor starting the third and put
the game away with three goals in a three-minute span midway through the period. Caetano added a second goal, with singles going to Dallas Anderson and Matt Carvalho. The Sharks offence was stonewalled in the first three games of the series, falling by scores of 2-0, 3-1 and 5-1. They played solid defensively with Ethan Handley continuing to stand on his head in net. Matt Thomas in game two and Sinasac in game three were the only players to find the back of the net. With Sunday’s victory, coach Josh Carnevale said, “We need to bring the same game plan Tuesday night, just tighten up a bit defensively. The guys proved to themselves today that they can grind out another victory and return home Wednesday night for game six.”
