Five different Ottawa 67's players scored their first goals of
the season Friday night.
Thomas Kiriakou, Kyle Jukosky, Cody Lindsay, Joe Pleckaitis and
Elgin Reid all notched their first of the season as the Ottawa 67's
defeated the Kingston Frontenacs 8-4 in Ontario Hockey League action
Friday.
``It bodes well for us,'' 67's coach and general manager Brian
Kilrea said of the five first-time scorers.
``Our kid line gave us some great shifts and the Jukosky kid that
we picked up, he just worked and I think he stimulated a few other
guys.''
Elsewhere in OHL action Friday, it was: Plymouth 6, Brampton 3;
Guelph 4, Mississauga 1; Toronto 6, Kitchener 3; Owen Sound 5,
London 2; Sault Ste. Marie 4, Belleville 2; Sudbury 5, Peterborough
2; Erie 6, Oshawa 5 (SO); and Sarnia 5, Saginaw 2.

67's (4-5-0-0). Reid also had two assists as did Jesse Biduke.
Bobby Hughes, Michael Kolarz, Peder Skinner and Bobby Nyholm
replied for the Frontenacs (3-6-0-1), who were outshot 43-29
including 13-5 in the second period when the 67's outscored them
4-0.
