Frattinger fires up Dryden
Heart and soul captain Brady Frattinger netted the hat trick and the Dryden Ice Dogs pushed the Fort Frances Lakers to the edge of elimination in their opening round, Superior International Jr. Hockey League playoff series.
Frattinger’s three goals were the spark of a 6-2 Monday night victory that gave Dryden a three games to none lead in the best-of-seven series. Jordan Pfoh tallied twice for the Ice Dogs, Ryland Maier chipped in with a goal and an assist and Landen Stromme put up three helpers in support of the 27-save showing of Eric Clark.
Ryker Watt had both goals for Fort Frances.
• Elsewhere, Jacob Lamoureux scored the overtime winner as the Red Lake Miners edged the Thunder Bay North Stars by a 5-4 score. Thunder Bay now leads the series two games to one.
