Ontario Reign: Three Stars of the Week 11/24 – 11/30

The Ontario Reign played two games during the week and went 1-1-0-0.

Ontario’s first game of the week came against the Henderson Silver Knights in a Black Friday showdown. Henderson dominated possession and the pace of play, but Ontario took a 2-0 lead with two power-play goals. The lead didn’t last long as Hnederson broke through with two goals in less than four minutes to tie the game.

Henderson took the lead with 5:11 left in regulation, but two late goals, 58 seconds apart, propelled the Reign to victory. In a game that wasn’t their best, they stole a big two points.

Ontario wrapped up the week with an out-of-division matchup against the AHL’s Western Conference runner-up from last year, the Texas Stars. Ontario’s mistakes proved costly in this matchup as Texas pounced on three Reign miscues, leading to a 4-1 victory for the Stars.

With the recap of the week over, let’s see who made this week’s three stars for the Reign!

Third star

Angus Booth

Stat line: Two games played, one goal, zero assists, one point, +1 rating, four shots on goal

Angus Booth has played seven games since returning from injury and scored his first goal of the season to tie the game at three late in the third period in Ontario’s 4-3 victory over Henderson.

It’s been a rough start for the second-year pro, dealing with an injury that put him on the mend for about a month. Now, healthier than he was to start, Booth is starting to look like the player we saw in his rookie year as a steady, confident defenseman.
