(Howell, MI)-- The Cleary Cougars ACHA Divison 1 hockey team opened up the 2022-23 season with a pair of games against the Cavlin College Knights.
In Game 1 at Calvin: Calvin opened the game with plenty of pressure and shots on goalie Tyler Krasofsky. Krasofsky stood tall, and eventually led to a Cam Thomas breakaway where he was taken down from behind to give the Cougars a power play. The Knight penalty kill held on, and the game remained scoreless. At about the 10 minute mark, the Cougars had another golden opportunity, with Johnny Gardiner on a breakaway, but the Knight goalie made a great save to preserve his shutout. Calvin would take a 1-0 lead late in the period. In the second period, Calving took a 2-0 lead on a one-timer. Later in the period, Wes Smith committed a penalty to prevent a breakaway, but the resulting power play resulted in a goal, and gave the Knights a 3-0 lead. Cleary would have another great opportunity to score, as they drew a pair of penalties to go on a 5-3 power play, but when the first power play ended, it gave the Knights a shorthanded breakaway, and they were able to score to make the game 4-0. The Cougars were unable to get anything going in the final period, and the Knights added three more goals to take a 7-0 lead, and the game.
Tyler Krasofsky suffered the defeat in goal, as he allowed 7 goals on 53 shots while make 46 saves.
In Game 2 vs. Calvin: The Knights would score on the game's first shot to take an early 1-0 lead. A Cougar penalty on the play gave the Knights a power play, and they capitalized to take a very early 2-0 lead. Cleary would get on the board just 17 seconds later, when Jonny Gardiner scored to make it 2-1. Another Knight power play would make the score 3-1, and the Knights were not done, as they scored one more goal in the game's opening period. Cleary would get on the board again in the second period, when Zach Perry scored his first goal of the season to cut into the Knight lead, but Calvin would add one more in the second, and two more goals in the third to take a 7-2 lead and the game.
