Tigers Claw Up Panthers
The Welland Niagara Street Pharmacy/Gene's Skate Sharpening Tigers flexed their offensive prowess against the Pelham Panthers on Monday night in a 7-2 win to improve to a league-leading 12-2-3 record in the Niagara District Atom Doherty division.




Tanner Cutler spearheaded the offense with a five point night, collecting four assists and scoring once. Colby Franchetti recorded the first three Welland goals of the night on Cutler's great passing and Mason Risto, Jonah Bello and Julian Belcastro also chipped in singles. If not for some spectacular goaltending from Pelham netminder Beau Christian the final score could have actually been even higher as he thwarted great scoring opportunities from Carter Kelly, Carson McComber, Brennen Hagar and Matteo Mete among others as Welland used their potent speed to create numerous scoring chances throughout the evening.

The overzealous effort on offense did result in two Pelham goals in the second period as both Samuel Bolduc and Darwin Mayes took advantage of Welland's aggressiveness in the offensive zone but overall the Tigers effort was solid.

Welland is 8-1-1 in their last ten games and currently tied with Glanbrook for the fewest goals allowed. The Tigers will look to continue their six game win streak at home against Port Colborne on Monday night at 6:50pm.
