Juniors' backs against wall as Lewiston takes 3-1 series lead
They say that speed kills. That is basically what Lewiston’s skates did to the Montreal Juniors last night in Maine as “holding” and “checking from behind” penalties resulted in 2 Lewiston goals as the MAINEiacs skated to a 4-1 victory.
Lewiston now takes a commanding 3-1 series lead in the best of seven series back to Montreal Friday night, where they can upset the Montreal Juniors on home ice.
Read on for the official Juniors game recap.
