Men's Hockey falls at Canisius, 4-1

BUFFALO, N.Y. – RIT junior forward Elijah Gonsalves scored a third-period power-play goal, but it was Canisius earning a 4-1 victory, Saturday night, in Atlantic Hockey play.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • Canisius scored a short-handed goal to break a scoreless tie with 12:25 left in the second period.
  • The Golden Griffins kicked off a three-goal, third-period run with a power play with 9:36 on the clock and notched an even-strength goal 1:26 later.
  • Canisius took a 4-0 lead with 1:49 left in regulation, before Gonsalves broke the shutout with 22.5 seconds left in the game. 
GAME NOTES
  • Gonsalves notched his second-straight game with a power play goal after also tallying a goal to go along with an assist in Friday night's 5-2 setback with the host Golden Griffins.
  • After only scoring one power play goal in its first eight games, RIT has scored at least one in its last four games, including two in Friday's night's game.
  • RIT junior goaltender Kolby Matthews was credited with 29 saves as Canisius out-shot RIT, 33-29.
