nab rare win over Admirals"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>The Aurora Tigers managed to skate away\nwith their fourth win of the season against the Brantford 99ers on Friday,\nthanks to a solid showing between the pipes from their backup goaltender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two OJHL clubs met at the Aurora\nCommunity Centre for the first time this year in what turned out to be an\nemotional affair, splitting 44 minutes worth of penalties in a 3 \u2013 1 Aurora\nwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both sides were able to capitalize well\non their man advantages, with ex-Aurora Tiger Kyle Bollers sticking it to his\nold team early in the second period with Jackson Clark sent off for a game\nmisconduct after a hit from behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The play seemed to spark some revenge\nfrom the 99ers, who took three consecutive penalties to close out the middle\nframe, resulting in Jalen Balbosa notching one for the Tigers in the final\nminute to tie it at ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mauro Biasutto gave the Tigers the lead\nwith just under eight minutes left in regulation, before captain Jonas Leas\nsealed the deal with a late empty netter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After starting off the season going\nwinless in the first eleven games, the Tigers seemed to be turning the corner\nin mid-October when they rattled off three wins over the course of four games,\nbefore falling back into a five-game losing streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friday\u2019s win gave a small spark to an\notherwise lifeless season, though it was back to the status quo in a pair of\nlosses over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosting the Milton Menace the following\nnight, the Aurora offense fell short against a Menace team they bested in a 7 \u2013\n6 overtime barnburner on October 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barwinski was once again given the reins\nin net, though Milton was able to solve him a handful of times in a 5 \u2013 0\nshutout loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking to change things up for a tired\nsquad heading into the third game in three days on Sunday, Aurora went back to\nveteran tender Christian Filippetti for a road game versus the Whitby Fury,\nthough both ended up sharing the net in a second straight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scoring touch returned in a\nheavy-handed game, with both sides tied at twos after the first period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three straight goals for the Fury in the\nsecond period spelled trouble for the Tigers, though they managed to make it a\n6 \u2013 4 score heading into the final twenty minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Landis Antonic scored twice in the\nthird, completing a hat trick to earn the second star of the game, though\nWhitby held onto a 7 \u2013 6 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luc Reeve, Jonathan Balah, and Leas also\nfound the back of the net.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In picking up two of a possible six\npoints over the weekend, the Tigers put themselves on par with the Lindsay\nMuskies for the bottom of the OJHL barrel with four wins apiece, albeit a game\nin hand for the Tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aurora sits well back of the\ndivision-leading Collingwood Colts, who own a seventeen-point advantage over\nthe Tigers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following a road matchup with the\nPickering Panthers, the Tigers will once again have a chance to turn their luck\naround with a four-game home stretch, starting with a hosting of the Stouffville\nSpirit on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For stats, schedules, and more information, visit www.auroratigers.pointstreaksites.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> By Jake
