Maroons Make Comeback To Top Nationals In Game 4

The Chatham Maroons made a late-game comeback to defeat the London Nationals 6-3 in Game 4 on Tuesday.

Bryce Yetman kicked off the game by scoring for Chatham early in the first period, but London added two goals of their own to take a 2-1 lead heading into the second.

The Nationals brought their lead to 3-1 with a goal just under halfway through the second frame, but Yetman scored his second of the night to bring with Maroons within one.

London was able to hold off Chatham for the majority of the third period, but Josh King scored twice and Alixe Saliba and Steven Fowler each added a goal in the final four minutes of the game to put the Maroons in the lead for the win.

"Everyone is grouping up and everyone's doing their own jobs and taking the responsibilities," says Saliba. "We can't go without one guy in that room, and once we're rolling lines, everything seems to go our way."
