It\u2019s unfamiliar territory for the Atom AE Tigers.<\/p>\n

They find themselves down two games to none in their provincial finals matchup with the Halton Hills Thunder, dropping back-to-back games for, remarkably, the first time all season.<\/p>\n

The number-one ranked Atom AE team in Ontario cruised their way to the championship series following a four-game series with the Clarington Toros, having won the final three games by a combined score of 20 \u2013 1.<\/p>\n

Friday\u2019s opening game of the series proved to be a goaltending battle, with the score knotted at zero after one period.<\/p>\n

A nice rush by Parker Jalbert three minutes into the second was all for naught, as the Thunder turned the puck around for a lopsided break-in, scoring the first goal of the game.<\/p>\n

Despite hard pressure from the Tigers, they just couldn\u2019t break the goose egg in the middle frame.<\/p>\n

Dylan Vasilevski had the Tigers\u2019 best chance of the third period with a hard-fought effort to beat two Thunder defencemen and feed Thomas Bradley in front, who was stopped point-blank by the opposing goaltender.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately the effort was just not enough, as the Tigers dropped the first game of the series by a score of 2 \u2013 0 after a late empty-net goal.<\/p>\n

Two nights later, the game continued to swing Halton Hills\u2019 way with a decisive 5 \u2013 2 victory, putting the Tigers in a sudden death position.
\nGame 3 goes this Friday at the Stronach Aurora Recreation Centre. Puck drop is at 6.30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The Atom AE Tigers held a remarkable 57-7-6 record this season, winning three tournaments including the Silver Stick in January. <\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
