The road trip continued for the Soo Greyhounds on Sunday afternoon with a win in front of a large crowd for the hometown Ottawa 67's.

After giving up a 2-0 lead in the third period, the Hounds rebounded with two late goals to beat the 67's 4-2 in Ontario Hockey League action in front of 7,844 fans at the Ottawa Civic Centre.

Colt King scored the game winner for the Greyhounds with 5:30 remaining in the third period. Following the goal, King was assessed a gross misconduct and tossed from the game.

Jakub Cech had an outstanding game in net for the Hounds and was named the game's first star after stopping 36 of 38 shots.

Hounds defenseman Mike Looby may also have a meeting with the commissioners office after being assessed a major penalty and a game misconduct for charging in the second period.
