Five Ottawa players score first of the season in 8 4 victory over Kingston Hocke

Five different Ottawa 67's players scored their first goals of the season Friday night.

Thomas Kiriakou, Kyle Jukosky, Cody Lindsay, Joe Pleckaitis and Elgin Reid all notched their first of the season as the Ottawa 67's defeated the Kingston Frontenacs 8-4 in Ontario Hockey League action Friday.

``It bodes well for us,'' 67's coach and general manager Brian Kilrea said of the five first-time scorers.

``Our kid line gave us some great shifts and the Jukosky kid that we picked up, he just worked and I think he stimulated a few other guys.''

Elsewhere in OHL action Friday, it was: Plymouth 6, Brampton 3; Guelph 4, Mississauga 1; Toronto 6, Kitchener 3; Owen Sound 5, London 2; Sault Ste. Marie 4, Belleville 2; Sudbury 5, Peterborough 2; Erie 6, Oshawa 5 (SO); and Sarnia 5, Saginaw 2.

At Ottawa, Jamie McGinn scored twice and Jakub Vojta once for the 67's (4-5-0-0). Reid also had two assists as did Jesse Biduke.

Bobby Hughes, Michael Kolarz, Peder Skinner and Bobby Nyholm replied for the Frontenacs (3-6-0-1), who were outshot 43-29 including 13-5 in the second period when the 67's outscored them 4-0.

Jason Guy was making his first start in goal for the Frontenacs after being acquired in a trade with the Guelph Storm earlier in the week.

Jukosky was making his first start for the 67's after being claimed off waivers from the Belleville Bulls, also earlier in the week.
