A Caden Dubreuil tally with 10:38 remaining in regulation proved to be the game-winner as the Greater Sudbury Cubs went on to down the Soo Eagles 4-2 in a Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League meeting Friday, October 17th at Pullar Stadium.

Converting on the night’s initial man advantage opportunity, Greater Sudbury’s Noah Kohan flipped in a loose puck laying at the top of the crease over netminder Jace Knoerle, nearly three minutes into the contest.

Collecting assists on the marker were Daks Klinkhammer and Nolan Newton who ran point streaks to 10 and seven games respectively.

Answering with an equalizer quickly, C.J. Zaharias tied it for Sault Ste. Marie when he fired a short-side wrister over the glove of Cubs’ starter Matthew Vahramian from the top of the right circle.

Still tied into the second period, the visitors converted on a late power play to take a 2-1 lead into the second intermission when defenceman Alex Valade was set-up by Kaedyn Long moved into the right circle and wired on past a screened Knoerle at 19:03.

In the third, the Eagles tied it once more when a diligent forecheck allowed Logan Stawizynski to shovel a pass into the slot that Anden Marceau collected and pumped through Vahramian and in for his NOJHL-leading 14th goal of the season.

Responding once more, Greater Sudbury went back on top midway though the session as Lucas Antonioni muscled his way out of the corner and chipped a pass over to Dubreuil that he promptly buried.

Adding some insurance in the latter stages of the contest, the Cubs’ Mason Walker redirected in a rising point attempt from Valade to help secure the road triumph as he scored for the fourth time in two outings.
