The Squirrels dealt the shorthanded Whalers only their second loss of the season Saturday, playing solidly in all three periods en route to a 7-2 victory.
Mike Bartock got the scoring started by skating into the zone himself and shooting through the defenseman, but the Whalers tied it on the next shift. Eight minutes later, Scott Kronzek somehow scored from behind the net, the first of his three goals. Late in the period, Ben Sumner was tripped in front of the net, but a centering pass went off his skate and into the net, which would’ve been ruled a kick if it weren’t for the penalty which caused it.
Kronzek scored twice more in the second period, including a beautiful far-side top shelf shot from the faceoff circle with the goalie looking right at him. The Whalers cut the lead to 5-2 on a late power play goal.
The Squirrels kept up the momentum in the third period, and finally extended the lead with goals by Bartock and Vivek Pinto only 13 seconds apart.
