The Fines Home Hardware Muskies were on the road this weekend facing the Shallow Lake Crushers in back to back games.

Sean Connor scored back to back goals midway through the first frame giving the boys an early two goal lead.

Chris Ritchie and Chris Greer received the assists on the first goal and Greg Fullerton and Ritchie the assists on the second goal.

Nick Foreman followed Connors' lead pocketing two of his own before the frame ended, assists to Shawn Pollard, Chad Boulton, Greg Patton, and Jamie Doig making the score 4-0 after one.

Shallow Lake notched the first goal of the second frame, followed quickly by Foreman's unassisted marker, tallying the first hat trick of the game.

Jeff Deckers was next on the board with a power play goal from Boulton and Corey Allen.

The Muskies marked goal number seven on a short handed play by Pollard. Shallow Lake countered with two power play goals of their own, narrowing the gap to four.

The Shelburne contingent tallied four power play goals in the final frame. First it was Boulton from Patton followed by Connor with his third for the hat trick assisted by Patton.

Luke Downey and Boulton wrapped up the scoring with a pair of assists going to Bryan Hannon and a single to Downey.

Final score, 11-4 Muskies.
