Greyhounds win exhibition opener

The Soo Greyhounds opened up their Ontario Hockey League exhibition schedule on Friday night in Sudbury.

The Greyhounds skated to a 6-1 win over the Wolves at Sudbury Arena in their exhibition opener, a game that saw them dress six 16-year-olds.

The Greyhounds jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the opening period and cruised to the win in a game that saw them outshoot the Wolves 51-33.

19-year-old rookie forward Gabe Guertler, who was signed during the summer after spending last winter with the University of Minnesota, scored a pair of goals for the Greyhounds in the win.

David Miller, Blake Speers, Zach Senyshyn and Hayden Verbeek also scored for the Greyhounds in the win.

Wolves forward Nathan Pancel scored the lone Sudbury goal in the loss.

The Greyhounds played the game with nine veterans out of the lineup and rookie Joseph Raaymakers tending goal. Raaymakers finished the night stopping 32 shots in the win.

Troy Timpano got the start for the Wolves and stopped 45 shots.

The two teams are back in action on Saturday night as the home-and-home exhibition series shifts to the Essar Centre for a 7:07 p.m. puck drop.
