EDMONTON – Time was running out on the Griffins in the third period on Saturday when Jack took matters into her own hands.

The Griffins had mustered just 14 shots on goal in five periods of play during a weekend series at Saskatchewan without a goal to show for it when Jack opened the floodgates with just 5:47 left in the third. Her centring pass found Allee Isley’s stick and went past the goaltender to tie the game 1-1. 

Then, just 1:16 later, Jack scored the go-ahead goal, potting a rebound off Kali MacDonald’s point shot. She played a driving role in the Griffins scoring three times in less than two minutes to stun the Huskies 3-2.

Jack also finished the weekend series (which also included Friday’s 2-0 loss) with five shots and a +1 rating.

For the season, she is leading the Griffins in scoring with two goals and five points in 16 games. 

MacEwan is enjoying a bye week before they return to action for their final weekend of the first semester Dec. 5-6 vs. Alberta.
