Four first-period goals gave the Soo Greyhounds a commanding start, and they kept the Mississauga Steelheads at a distance through a late push to earn a 6-3 win. Travis Hayes scored twice, while the Greyhounds also got goals from Kazinski, Jeremy Martin, Noah Lowes and Trevor Daley Jr. The Steelheads found the net three times, including a power-play goal and a late score with 25 seconds remaining.
How the Game Played Out
The Greyhounds struck first when Hayes stole the puck and beat Amayarvi, turning pressure in Brampton territory into a 1-0 lead. Soo doubled its advantage on a cross-ice sequence: Winkelhoffer carried the puck into the zone, Charron sent a centering pass, and Kazinski went to the net to finish. The Steelheads were pinned along the boards before the Greyhounds recovered possession and extended their early control.
Jeremy Martin made it 3-0 at 17:55, redirecting a shot in front of the net. Cross Cree and Fitzgerald collected the assists. Lowes then took the puck in the neutral zone, raced in and scored with a quick wrist shot. That fourth goal completed the first-period burst, leaving Soo with a 4-0 lead.
The Steelheads answered on a power play when Nathan Amadovsky beat Landon Miller with a quick wrist shot, cutting the margin to three. The Greyhounds responded with a power-play goal of their own: Martin dropped the puck to Daly, who moved it across to Charron. After a shot was blocked, Daley Jr. put away the rebound to make it 5-1. Later, a Steelheads shot took a deflection in front and ended up in the net, with Patton credited on the play.
Hayes scored his second goal after a strong individual effort from Kazinski, who got past two Brampton defenders and put a shot on goal. Hayes was in front to finish and restore the Greyhounds’ three-goal cushion. In the closing seconds, Green’s shot from the point slipped past Miller, making it 6-3 with 25 seconds left. Miller had believed he had the puck trapped under his arm, but it came loose before Green’s shot reached the net. The Greyhounds held on to the final whistle.
What the Result Means
The 6-3 result gives Soo a home win after a performance built around an explosive first period and timely responses whenever the Steelheads began to close the gap. The four-goal opening established the advantage; Soo’s power-play finish and Hayes’s second goal helped keep the comeback from gathering enough momentum to change the outcome.
The Steelheads did make the score closer, with Amadovsky’s power-play strike and two later goals, but the early deficit proved too much to overcome. The available game details do not include standings or either club’s record, so the result offers no specific standings update. For the Greyhounds, the next challenge is carrying the finishing touch and early pressure from this win into their next OHL game.
