Lakers Undefeated thru four

Freshman Josh Sim scored his first collegiate goal to help Lake Superior State salvage a 1-1 tie in Game 2 of its Central Collegiate Hockey Association series. The Lakers (1-0-3 overall, 0-0-2 CCHA) failed to capitalize on eight power-play opportunities, but got a big performance from junior goaltender Jeff Jakaitis, who totaled 21 saves. He made several key stops throughout what was his best game so far this season. Ferris State scored first, taking a 1-0 lead on a goal by Adam Miller at 16:03 of the second period. Sim answered at 18:16 of the middle stanza as Barnabas Birkeland and Jeff Rainville drew assists. FSU goaltender Mitch O'Keefe also totaled 21 saves. The Bulldogs (1-1-2 overall, 0-0-2 CCHA) finished 0-for-3 on the power play. LSSU and FSU also skated to a 4-4 tie on Friday. LSSU plays a home-and-home series on Oct. 28-29 against Northern Michigan. The Lakers travel to NMU on Friday and play host to the Wildcats at 7:05 p.m. on Saturday.
