Defensive hockey was the order of the day for a pair of NEHL (Northeast Houseleague Hockey League games in Garson Sunday night.

Stephanie Legault scored on a goal-mouth scramble with just 1:31 to play, pushing the Sudbury Midget "AA" Lady Wolves to a 3-2 win over the Nickel Centre Jets.

Jenna Gough and Karli Shell also tallied for the girls, with Robbie Skiffington and Ryan Quinlan answering in a losing cause.

Laurentian Voyageurs' goaltending prospect Emily Toffoli-Henderson turned aside 27 of the 29 shots she faced, while Tyler Brady came through with 22 saves of his own at the other end of the rink.

The goalies were also in the spotlight in the earlier bantam game as call-up Dylan Dokis (Nickel Centre Rocks) and Amy Vincent (Sudbury Rage) combined to make 56 saves in a 1-1 tie.

Dokis, on loan to the Rocks with players away for the holiday season, made plenty of new friends, not only backstopping his team to a tie but also drawing an assist on the only Nickel Centre goal.

Defenseman Carter Rollins rifled a long wrap-around to the neutral zone, where Justin Gibeault did the rest, dancing into Rage territory and fooling Vincent with a well-place wrist shot early in the third.

But Sudbury would draw even with just 5:14 to play as Zacharie Ouellette blasted a shot home from just inside the blue-line with his team on the power-play as the Rocks and Rage settled for a draw.
