The Port Hope Predators doubled up the Lindsay Muskies 6-3 in the third game of their East Division quarter-final series on Monday night.
 
The win gave the Preds a 2-1 series lead.
 
Chad Dunlop and Tyler Miller continued to blow holes through the Lindsay defence, notching four and three points respectively. Jeremy McCarty also got on the board with three assists, while Jessie Chidwick overcame a scoring slump by notching two goals in the third period to put the game in the bag for the home side.
 
"I got a gorilla off my back," said Chidwick after the game. "We'd been getting a lot of opportunities. Just holding the stick too tight, couldn't get it in the back of the net."

The line of Chidwick, Andrew Taylor and Garrett Noiles has come alive at just the right time for the Preds, giving the team another bonafide scoring threat alongside the Dunlop/Miller/McCarty line.
 
The Predators can advance to the East Division semi-finals with a win on Wednesday in Minden, where the Muskies are playing their home games as a result of a municipal workers' strike in Lindsay.
