Lumberjacks come from behind to beat Madison on the road, 5-3

Jake Richard scored two goals for the Jacks, who nailed down the win with three goals in the third period

Muskegon Lumberjacks coach Mike Hamilton said this week that he wanted his team to start winning more on the road, and apparently the message sank in.

The Jacks erased a two-goal deficit on Friday, fell behind by a goal again, then exploded for three goals in the third period to skate off with a 5-3 road victory over the Madison Capitols.

Jake Richard led the way with two goals for Muskegon. Tyler Dunbar had two assists.

The Jacks are now 5-4-0 on the season while Madison fell to 4-4-0. Muskegon is now in fourth place in the USHL's Eastern Conference with 10 points, two points ahead of Madison.

Madison grabbed a quick 2-0 lead after one period on goals by Miko Matikka at 10:39 and Matt McGroarty at 15:08.

The Lumberjacks tied the game with a pair of second-period goals. Justin Solovey scored his second of the season at the 13-minute mark and Richard scored his fourth at 13:49.

Madison took a 3-2 lead when Quinn Finley found the net with under four minutes left in the second period.

The Jacks took the lead for good down the stretch, getting quick third-period goals from Richard at 3:01 and David Hymovitch (his third of the season) at 3:37.

Rookie Sacha Boisvert scored his fourth goal of the season at the 16:29 mark to put a cherry on the win.

Lumberjacks goalie Conor Callaghan stopped 32 of 35 shots to win his fourth straight start.

The two teams will play again in Madison on Saturday night.
