ATHENS - A goal off the stick of captain Tanner Casselman almost 12 minutes into overtime lifted the Brockville Tikis to a 3-2 win over the Athens Aeros before 300 fans at Centre 76 Tuesday.
Casselman scored off a pass from Travis Downie to give Brockville its second OT victory of the Rideau-St. Lawrence Jr. B Hockey League quarter-final playoff series. The win sent Brockville into a commanding 3-0 series lead over Athens.
Before the extra period, all the scoring was squeezed into a 4:38 span early in the second period.
Brockville's Ryan Harper started the four-goal onslaught at 2:16 and Tanner Benton of the Tikis finished the flurry with a goal at 6:54. Both were unassisted.
The goals sandwiched a pair from Athens by Parker Grant at 3:26 and Liam Widdowfield at 5:29. Both goals were set up by J.P. Augustine.
Chad Melbourne stopped 24 shots to get the victory and Alex Daley took the loss while facing 30 shots.
Game four of the best-of-seven series will be played in Athens Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
