Captain sparks Raiders' win Captain Wade Finegan scored twice in the third period to save the Georgetown Raiders from an upset to the host Buffalo Jr. Sabres on Monday night in an OHA Provincial Jr. A Hockey League encounter. Trailing 3-2 at the start of the third period, Raiders' leading scorer Ryan Ford tied the contest on a power play at the 36-second mark before Finegan netted his 12th and 13th goals of the 2006-07 campaign to ensure a 5-3 win. The ninth-place Jr. Sabres, sporting a 5-235-0 record, struck for three power-play goals within a 2:20 span in the middle stanza to take a 3-1 advantage after Georgetown took six consecutive minor penalties. The visitors outshot Buffalo 37-29 and Marc Start earned the win in goal. Matt Carter and Greg Lever also found net for the fifth-place, 19-9-3-3 Raiders, who are in Milton Friday night and host the Burlington Cougars at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in a battle for fourth spot in the West Division at the Alcott Arena.
