Seawolves squander a 2-goal lead and give up a last-minute goal in a critical loss to Lake Superior State - Anchorage Daily News

Lake Superior State scored the game-winning goal with 63 seconds remaining Friday to rally past the UAA hockey team and deprive the Seawolves of some costly points in the race for a Western Collegiate Hockey Association playoff spot.

The 3-2 loss in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, was a painful one for the Seawolves, who squandered a 2-0 lead to leave points on the table.

The WCHA’s top eight teams at the end of the regular season make the playoffs, and right now UAA is in eighth place in the 10-team league with 18 points. Lake Superior State is one spot ahead of the Seawolves with 22 points and Ferris State is one spot behind them with 14. Last-place Alabama Huntsville has 8 points.

There’s nine games left in the regular season — including Saturday’s rematch — and a win in regulation or the first overtime is worth three points. A win in the second OT period or a shootout is worth two points, with one point going to the loser.

UAA (4-15-4 overall, 4-12-3 WCHA) took a 2-0 lead on first-period goals by Rylee St. Onge and Trey deGraaf, who scored while the Seawolves were short-handed. Zach Court assisted on both goals, and deGraaf earned an assist on the St. Onge goal.

The Lakers (8-19-2 overall, 6-11-2) made it a one-goal lead with a second-period power-play goal and tied it with a third-period power-play goal. They won it on Pete Viellette’s even-strength goal with time running out.

Kris Carlson made 25 saves for the Seawolves, who were outshot 28-16.
