A highlight reel goal in double overtime by Steven Elliott was the large exclamation point on a Trenton Golden Hawks 3-2 come-from-behind victory over the North York Rangers Friday night.
The G-Hawks were down 2-0 heading into the third period, but Peter Falivena and Ethan Cardwell managed to pull them even with tallies, setting the stage for Elliott’s winner.
The veteran forward took the puck from the corner, spun off two checkers, deked out Rangers goaltender Jett Alexander and roofed a shot to send the Trenton fans home happy.
Anand Oberoi was the winning netminder with 32 saves, while the Bloomfield-born Alexander shielded away 26 pucks in the loss.
Trenton hosts the Brampton Admirals Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Dunc.
