[Highlights: Blues vs Hawks, November 9](https://www.riverviewblues.ca/media/video/2026-11-09-blues-vs-moncton-highlights.mp4) The Blues came into the night 0–1–2 in league games in Riverview, and a week and a half removed from their last game. They had also tied these Hawks 2–2 in Moncton 11 days earlier. This time Moncton led 1–0 in the first period and 2–1 in the second. The Blues tied it both times, went ahead with 2:35 left in the second, and McAllister's goal held up as the winner. ## Inglis answers first Moncton opened the scoring in the first period. Inglis tied it 1–1 with 9:15 left in the period, set up by James Baxter-Barkhouse. It was his first goal of the season, and the teams went to the second period level. ## Two goals in under two minutes The Hawks went back in front 2–1 in the second period, and the Blues answered late in the period with two goals in under two minutes. Chappell tied it with 4:30 left, from Lennon Lamkey and Levi Cameron, and 1:55 later McAllister scored unassisted, with 2:35 to go, to put the Blues ahead for the first time. It was the Blues' last goal of the night, and it was enough. Chappell's goal was his fifth of the season, the most on the team. McAllister's was the game-winner and his third of the season. Cameron's assist extended his point streak to four games: a goal against Shediac / Cap-Pelé, then assists in Moncton, in Richibucto and on Monday. Lamkey has a point in two straight games. ## Best stays unbeaten Neither team scored in the third period, and the one-goal lead held. Best was in goal for his first league win. He has yet to lose this season, with two wins and two ties in the four starts the team has game sheets for, and he has been in net for all three of the Blues' meetings with Moncton: a 5–2 pre-season win, the 2–2 tie and Monday's 3–2 win. ## In the box The Blues took three minor penalties: Jase Inglis for body checking in the first period, then Cameron for roughing and Hudson Inglis for interference in the second. ## Where it leaves them The Blues are 2–1–3 in league play with seven points, two behind second-place Shediac / Cap-Pelé and four behind first-place Dieppe / Memramcook, all three teams with six games played.
