The Kemptville 73’s delivered another dominant performance on Friday night, cruising to a 6-2 road victory over the Brockville Braves at Brockville Memorial Centre. After falling behind early, Mbarushimana and Dickey scored to give Kemptville a 2-1 lead after the opening period. The 73’s continued to build momentum in the second, with D’Arienzo and Streska finding the back of the net to extend the advantage. Arsenault and Streska struck again in the third period, with Streska recording his second goal of the night, as Kemptville pulled away to secure its second consecutive road win. Della Santina was solid between the pipes, stopping 25 of 27 shots, while the 73’s showcased their offensive depth with six goals from five different players.
