and 8th shutout of the season

Kuhls 2nd shutout on Sunday in Ayton didn’t come as easy as Saturday. West Grey would come out looking for revenge and apply pressure for the first 5 minutes, but Kuhl made some big saves to keep them off then board . Laker defenseman Zac Hamilton got the Lakers going 6 minutes in when he picked up his first goal of the season on a laser from the left point that found the back of the net. The game would be back forth both ways with Kuhl coming up big several times to preserve the Lakers he lead. The Lakers would then go up 2-0 half way thru the 2nd when Jaxon Bisson took a beauty pass from Jake Dangerfield Fudge and beat the Warriors goalie low glove side . West Grey would continue to apply pressure but Kuhl shut the door several times and just over a minute left in the 3rd Kaleb Bartlett would find the net on a pass from Jaxon Bisson to seal the win for the Lakers. With the win the Lakers advance to a semi final round robin against 2 teams yet to be determined.
