## A call-up on the blue line

The Blues had a different look on the back end. Hudson Inglis sat this one out, and Cullen Connors was called up to play defence. Connors wore No. 14 for the night, as an affiliated player.

## Colpitts answers

Moncton opened the scoring with 6:56 left in the first period. The Blues killed off a hooking minor, then tied it with 57 seconds to go in the period: Caeden Colpitts scored unassisted, his third goal of the season.

## Pineau on the power play

The Blues took two minors in the second period, 74 seconds apart, for hooking and head contact, and killed both.

Late in the period, it was Riverview's turn with the extra man. A Moncton cross-checking minor with 2:47 left sent the Blues to the power play, and Pineau scored with 53 seconds to go, from Levi Cameron, for a 2–1 lead. It was Pineau's fourth goal of the season, the most on the team, and Cameron's assist came three days after his first goal of the season.

## Moncton ties it

The Hawks tied it with 9:19 left in the third period. Eight seconds later, the Blues were short-handed again, for slashing, and killed that one too. Neither team scored the rest of the way.

The Blues took four minor penalties and the Hawks two. Moncton did not score on the power play; Riverview scored once. Ayden Best was in goal for the Blues.
