Markham defeated Oshawa 4-3 at Oshawa on Tuesday night. Joel
Kitchen led the offense with three goals while Tom
Kotsopoulos added the other. Jeremy
Wenzel shut the door in the third after Oshawa had scored three
times in the second to take the lead after two periods. The
victory puts a lid on a month that is best forgotten.
The Markham Waxers jumped back on the winning track defeating the resurgent Oshawa Legionnaires 4-3 on Tuesday.
As it has been for most of the year, the game was a tale of two teams for Markham as in the odd number periods the Waxers totally dominated only to take most of the middle frame off.
Kitchen had the hot hand for the Waxers as he fired his first Junior A hat trick, including the winner.
Kitchen's first of the night almost 18 minutes in to the game from Robbie Burrows made the score 1-0 Markham after 20 minutes.
The Legionaires tied the score early in the second before Kitchen, from Burrows and
Ryan Steane made it 2-1 just 2 minutes in to the second period. Oshawa responded by scoring 1 minute later and then at the 10 minute mark to take a 3-2 lead in to the third period.
Just 1:36 in to the final stanza, Rob Mazzuca was fed a clearing pass from
Jimmy Ball and after two nice dekes in the neutral Mazzuca fed a speeding
Kotsopoulos who roofed home the tying goal. That set the stage for Kitchen, on his prettiest tally of the night, who at the 14 minute mark completed the hat trick and found himself the hero.
Wenzel was in goal for the Waxers and stopped 26 shots along the way.
The Waxers next opponent, the expansion St. Michael's
Buzzers have already defeated the Waxers two out of three meetings this
season.
