NL Regiment swept in Sydney by Eagles over the weekend
The Newfoundland Regiment lost back to back games in Sydney after a 2-1 loss to the Cape Breton Eagles on Sunday afternoon at Centre 200.
After taking a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Ben Veitch and Dominic Pilote on Saturday night, the Regiment conceded four unanswered to Cape Breton as they fell 4-2 in the series opener.
On Sunday, Reece Peitzsche opened the scoring for the home side shortly before the first intermission to give them a 1-0 lead after the first period.
Dawson Sharkey replied for the Regiment on the powerplay 90 seconds into the middle frame, bringing it to a 1-1 game heading into the third.
Eliot Litalien won it for Cape Breton with just 5:27 left in regulation to seal the series sweep for the Eagles in a tight 2-1 victory.
Newfoundland now head to Moncton to take on the Wildcats on Wednesday evening at the Avenir Centre. Newfoundland finish out the calendar year on the road before opening 2026 on home ice against the Gatineau Olympiques on Jan. 3-4.
