other Monday night action

I got around a bit and heard about some of tonight’s other action, so here’s a look at a few games that might not get mentioned elsewhere:

at South Mountain Arena, West Essex got a great wrist shot from John Auriemma with 2:06 left to see off a valiant effort from Cranford, which had just 11 skaters dressed for the game, by a 4-3 final score. Cranford’s Joe DellaSerra had a hat trick by the midway point of the game to tie it at 3-3, but the Cougars ran out of gas and had to ice the puck most of the third period. Ben Streko made 32 saves for Cranford.

at Mennen Arena, John Bellamente struck for the “card show,” scoring all six goals in Mt. Olive‘s 6-3 win over Roxbury. Mt. Olive’s top Charette Division competitor, defending Haas Cup champion Park Regional, had to rally just to tie lowly Parsippany Hills 3-3, although the Park had a major shot advantage. Finally, Haas Division contender Pequannock beat Morristown 6-3.

at the Ice Vault, Mahwah had to rally from two goals down to tie Glen Rock 4-4 in a non-league game. The result favors Glen Rock, since Mahwah has a win over a Red Division team (Verona) on its resume.

also at South Mountain Arena, Livingston handed West Orange its first loss of the season, beating the Mountaineers 5-2; the margin of victory includes an empty-net goal as time expired.
