TORONTO -- The Lakehead Thunderwolves got the last laugh on Saturday night.
The Wolves and Toronto Varsity Blues traded goals twice in the opening two periods, but Carson Dubchak didn’t leave the host squad much time to tie the game a third time.
The veteran Thunderwolves forward netted the game-winner with 1:36 to go in regulation, earning Lakehead a 3-2 win and a two-game sweep of the Varsity Blues.
Cody Alcock opened the scoring midway through the first, only to have Toronto’s Josh Hanson tied it on the power play early in the second.
Brennen Dubchak earned the Wolves their second lead of the night at the 5:58 mark of the middle frame, but once again with the man advantage Toronto (0-3-2) climbed even, Charlie Connell potting his first of the season at 11:53.
Devin Green made 35 saves to earn the win, as the Wolves improved to 3-2-0 on the season. They didn’t get their third win last season until January.
Fourth-place Lakehead remains on the road next weekend when they take on Concordia (4-1-0).
