Hockey: Revere, Lynn fit to be tied

The Lynn Jets boys? hockey team will have to wait at least three more days for its chance to break into the win column after settling for a 1-1 tie against host Revere on Wednesday evening at Cronin Rink.
A solo effort from Lynn’s Owen Sedille knotted the score early in the third period before Patriots goaltender, Maxx Anderson (35 saves), made sure that the deadlock held up, stopping Jets forward Kyle Morrill on a penalty shot with 3:00 remaining.
?Both goalies played strong games tonight and gave their teams a chance to win,” said Lynn coach Joe Conlon, of Anderson and Jets goalie Jack Stafford, who finished with 19 stops.
?It’s never easy going into Revere and earning a point, never mind a win. This was a hard-fought game from start to finish but there’s still plenty of room for improvement.”
Patriots coach Joe Ciccarello shared similar views.
?Lynn is strong up front so Maxx knew that he had to be at his best tonight,” Ciccarello said. “Both he and Stafford stood on their heads. It’s always an absolute battle when these two teams get together.”
Following a scoreless first period, Joe Ristino gave Revere the lead 2:38 into the second session, finishing an individual effort.
Lynn (0-1-1) hosts Somerville on Saturday (8:30) while the Patriots head to Bourne to play Holliston in the opening round of the Canalmen Tournament on Friday (6).
