Jaguars beat Maniax, extend NIHL winning streak to five games
Quite a handful.
Jaguar Mite #2 that is.
A handful as in having recorded its fifth straight regular season victory.
And a handful for other teams to contend with.
Or so the Midwest Maniax discovered on Saturday, Jan. 21, when the Jaguars skated into Dyer, Ind., and defeated the hosts 5-2 at the Midwest Training and Ice Center. The win avenged the twin defeats the Jaguars suffered at the hands of the Maniax to open the Northern Illinois Hockey League regular season.
The win helped the Jaguars remain in first place in the White Tier of the Silver B Level of the Mite Division in NIHL. As of the end of play Jan. 21, the Jaguars had tallied 12 points and led the Chicago Jets by 2 points. The Chicago Bulldogs sat in third with 9 points.
Coming off a third-place finish at the Motown Cup Tournament in Detroit the previous weekend, the Jaguars proved early on they were ready to return to their winning NIHL ways. The Jaguars jumped to a 2-0 lead in the first period, with Ryan Louthan tallying a pair of goals on a pair of Evan McDonald assists. The goals came at the 7:16 and 2:16 marks of the opening stanza.
Blake Brenczewski extended the lead to 3-0, converting on a Louthan assist with 6:40 to play in the second period.
The Maniax got on the board nearly two minutes later, when Joey Bruszer scored an unassisted goal with 4:50 to play. The Jaguars responded quickly, however, with Brenczewski scoring an unassisted goal of his own, his second tally of the game, with 3:15 to play, giving the Jaguars a 4-1 lead when the period expired.
Brenczewski made it a hat trick less than a minute into the third period, scoring another unassisted goal at the 10:07 mark, closing out scoring for the Jaguars. The Maniax pressured the Jaguars for much of the third period, forcing Jaguar goalie Luke Brzezinski to make 9 of his 22 saves in the final stanza, but could only manage a Power Play goal with just 35.3 seconds remaining to bring the score to the 5-2 final. Bruszer again got credit for the marker, this time off assists from Ronnie Carraher and Joey Marx.
The Jaguars will look to extend their NIHL lead and avenge another early-season loss when they host the Bruins at 5:15 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 22, on Inwood Ice.
