In the second last week of the season for the Aurora\nTigers, the boys travelled out on the road, falling to the Collingwood Colts\nlast Friday 6-0 before defeating the Oakville Blades Saturday night 3-2. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an up and down week for the Tigers, on Valentine\u2019s Day\nnight, the boys knew it was going to be a tough test against the Colts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s one of those stories throughout the year. There is\nalways one team that consistently has your number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first period, the Colts took the game to the\nTigers. Just over the halfway mark, Nicholas Cirone found the back of the net\nfor his 11th goal of the season to give the Colts the lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second period, the Colts added to their lead. Patrick\nBrown and Derek Sweeney made it 3-0 by the time the third period rolled around.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the final frame, Payton Schaly and Adrian Nabuurs\ncapitalized on the power play. Sweeney added insult to injury with his second\nof the game shorthanded at the end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funnily enough, the Colts scored the number goals in\naccordance to the period number. What wasn\u2019t funny, was the Tigers could not\nbreak down Colts goaltender Andrew Rose, who recorded his second shutout of the\nyear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this loss, the boys didn\u2019t back down when they\ntravelled to Oakville to take on the Blades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In only their second meeting this season, the last time\nthe Tigers played the Blades was back on December 14, when the boys suffered a\n6-2 defeat at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was at a different time, a different mindset and a different\nroster. With the recent changes and tune-ups to the lines, it was going to be a\ngood matchup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With no score in the first period and being outshot 17-4,\nthe boys entered the second determined to get on the score board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is exactly what happened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forward Blake Frost found the back of the net shorthanded\nfor his third goal of the year. With under five minutes left in the frame,\nMauro Biasutto capitalized on the power play for his fifth goal of the season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of the third period, Stephen Whittle got\nthe Blades on the board. With just over five minutes in the game, Harrison\nIsraels tied it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the power play with just over 30 seconds left, Luc\nReeve scored the game winning goal, to give the Blades their eighth loss of the\nyear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tigers had defeated an 80-point team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although being outshot 47-16 on the night, Christian\nFilippetti earned himself first star of the game, playing one of his best games\nof the year, in front of over 200 fans in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entering the final week of the 2019\/2020 OJHL season, the\nAurora Tigers will travel on the road one more time this Friday and take on the\nBurlington Cougars before returning for one last hurrah at home this Saturday against\nthe Pickering Panthers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puck drop is at 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
