Leaside Wildcats fell 3-2 before the Stoney Creek Sabres Saturday in Stoney Creek. The winning goal came 48 seconds into an overtime period on the continuation of a power play that started in the third period. The game was a penalty fest with each team accumulating mega-time in the box — Leaside had 20 minutes and Stoney Creek 18. Today’s late season action leaves Leaside in second place in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League behind Durham West. Leaside now has played more games than any other team in the league, owning 34 to Durham West’s 32. Today’s loss is tough for the Wildcats because they had gone goal for goal against the Sabres through three periods. Kristin Della Rovere scored in the first with help from Megan Pardy and Mariah Hinds. Megan Pardy scored the second Leaside goal on a power play in the third period. Assists came from Alex Woods and Della Rovere. The Sabres outshot the Wildcats 28 to 25, not bad for a team in 13th place. Katie Mowbray took the loss in goal. Tuesday night Leaside will face the league-leading Durham West Lightning in Ajax. A big one.
