Coach Johnston acknowledged his Captain\u2019s \u201cmilestone goal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLucas has had an excellent season. He brings it every game. He\u2019s an excellent leader in the locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite the Tigers\u2019 excellent road effort in Burlington, the Cougars took the lead in the final frame on a goal by Jamie Langill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Crossley Stewart scored his second of the game to extend Burlington\u2019s lead to 3-0 and Isaac Faccio fired the puck into an empty net to close the scoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On a bright note, the Tigers got stellar goaltending by workhorse Glen Crandall who stopped 45 of the 48 shots that Burlington fired at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGlen played solid,\u201d added Coach Johnston.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tigers\u2019 offensive woes continued the next night in Georgetown in their 4-0 shutout loss to the Raiders who, like the Burlington Cougars, have clinched a playoff spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Georgetown, the Tigers and the Raiders played a scoreless first period. Coach Johnston expressed concerns about his Tigers not taking the game to Georgetown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe needed to initiate. We were only responding most of the game. Georgetown was winning races to the puck and we weren\u2019t physical enough.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raiders forward Brandon Kakei scored at 1:59 of the second period in what turned out to be the game-winning goal. Isa Parekh and Rhys Chiddenton added two more markers for the Raiders in the middle frame to expand their lead to 3-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noah Cochrane made it 4-0 for Georgetown mid-way through the third to provide the margin of victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coach Johnston says the key to the rematch between Georgetown and Aurora on Tuesday afternoon at the ACC is simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have to play our brand of hockey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tigers fell to 2-3-1 in their last six games and are 17-21-2-5 with nine games remaining in their regular season which comes to a close at the end of February for Aurora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
