The Aspen High School hockey team put together one of its more impressive wins of the season on Friday night, winning 5-0 over visiting Glenwood Springs at Lewis Ice Arena.<\/p>\n
The Skiers scored twice in the first period, a goal each coming from Henry Morrison and Connor Chesner, both power play goals. Jack Pevny tacked on an even-strength goal late in the second period to make it 3-0 and then added another early in the third period, this one short-handed, to make it 4-0. Dominic Lanese scored the final goal barely a minute later.<\/p>\n
Logan Soderberg had 27 saves in net. It was Aspen’s second shutout win of the season, the other coming in its Dec. 21 win over Steamboat Springs, 4-0.<\/p>\n
The win is the fourth straight for the Skiers, who are now 5-3-2 overall. They have beaten both Steamboat and Glenwood twice over this stretch. AHS played Glenwood as recently as Jan. 4, narrowly winning that one, 3-2.<\/p>\n
Glenwood, playing varsity hockey for the first time this season, fell to 3-6 overall.<\/p>\n
Next up, the Skiers will host No. 6 Fort Collins (6-3-2) at 4 p.m. today at Lewis Ice Arena. The Lambkins beat Glenwood 11-2 on Dec. 7 in their second game of the season. On Friday night, Fort Collins knocked off No. 3 Cherry Creek, 5-3. The Bruins had led 3-0 after a period before letting the game slip away.<\/p>\n
