Colorado’s Rally Falls Short in 5-4 Loss to Ontario
May 1, 2021
LOVELAND, CO. - Colorado forward Alex Newhook netted a pair of goals, while defenseman Justin Barron earned the first two points of his pro career, but it would not be enough as the Eagles fell to the Ontario Reign, 5-4 on Saturday. Eagles forwards Sampo Ranta and Ryan Wagner also lit the lamp in the loss, while goaltender Jonas Johansson suffered the defeat in his Eagles debut, allowing five goals on 25 shots.
Ontario would jump out to an early lead when a 3-on-2 rush set up forward Boko Imama to light the lamp with a shot from between the circles to give Ontario the 1-0 edge just 5:33 into the contest.
