Lightning Snap Losing Streak During Holiday Break

Eastview’s boys varsity hockey team dropped two of three games during the holiday break, falling to 6-6 for the season. The Lightning lost a 3-1 nonconference game to Holy Family on Thursday December 21 at Victoria Ice Arena. Although Eastview battled to a scoreless tie after one period, two costly penalties led to goals for Holy Family in the second. Senior Defenseman Kevin Woehler scored an even strength goal with 4:37 left in the game to give the Lightning hope. Senior Goalie Gabe Otis was pulled a few minutes later and Eastview had some chances during the man advantage before Holy Family netted an empty net goal to seal their victory.

Eastview stopped a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 comeback victory over conference rival Lakeville South at Hasse Arena on Saturday, December 23. The Lightning fell behind 1-0 in the first period before Sophomore Forward Sam Wooten scored on a breakaway. Senior Forward Zach Wooten then scored a shorthanded goal to put the Lightning up 2-1. After falling behind the Cougars 3-2 in the second period, the Lightning came back with their best period of the season in the third. Senior Forwards Billy Downs and Cam Roth scored goals within 16 seconds of each other to forge a 4-3 lead in the opening minutes of the period. Senior Forward Caleb Nelson assisted on both goals. Sam Wooten later scored his second goal of the game to increase the lead to 5-3. Eastview limited the Cougars to one third-period shot on goal and finished the game with a 27-21 shot advantage.

On Tuesday, January 2, the Lightning lost to Shakopee 2-1 at Shakopee Ice Arena to drop to 4-2 in the South Suburban Conference. Eastview played well enough to win the game, outshooting Shakopee 36-24 while enjoying good offensive zone time. But the Sabers kept the Lightning off the scoreboard until under three minutes left in the game, when Senior Forward Billy Downs tipped in a rebound off a shot by Senior Forward Jordan Brothers. The Lightning were whistled for a season-high 12 penalties and were unable to convert on any of their six power play opportunities. Eastview resumes its conference schedule at Rosemount on Thursday, January 4 at 7:00 p.m.
