Booed relentlessly every time he touched the puck, Sudbury Wolves forward Akim Aliu put on a clinic against the Windsor Spitfires Thursday, scoring one goal and three assists.
The Wolves beat the Spitfires 6-2, improving their road record to 9-5-1.
Aliu returned to Windsor for the first time since being
traded from the team last season after a hazing incident with
former teammate Steve Downey, currently playing for the
Peterborough Petes.
Patrik Lusnak scored a pair for the Wolves while Matt Dias,
Nick Foligno, Kevin Baker and Aliu added singles. Kevin Beech
stood on his head in the crease, stopping 47 of 49 shots.
Greater Sudbury native Cory McGillis had no points and was a
minus-1 for the Spitfires.
The Wolves improved their record to 15-12-2-2 and will travel
south of the border to Michigan Friday (Dec. 8) to take on the
Plymouth Whalers, who are going for their sixth consecutive
win.
