Troy Kaczynski and the Richmond Sockeyes just keep on rolling.
The 20-year-old Richmond Minor product had a five point night, including a pair of goals, as the Sockeyes made it six wins in seven games out of the gate with a 6-1 triumph over the Port Moody Panthers in a rare Monday encounter at Minoru Arenas.
Kaczynski, who resumed his full-time status in the Pacific Junior Hockey League this season, has at least one goal in every game. He leads the circuit with 22 points, including a whopping 13 goals — five more than his nearest rival.
The winless Panthers, who now have former Sockeyes head coach Ron Johnson behind the bench, scored in the early stages of the second period to cut the Richmond lead in half before surrendering three unanswered goals to close out the frame.
Ontario native Mac Colasimone also had a big night for the hosts with a goal and two assists. Daniel Oakley, Tyler Patrerson and Charles Young also scored.
Two nights earlier, the Sockeyes rolled to a 6-2 road win over the Mission City Outlaws. Matthew Bissett scored twice, while Oakley chipped in with a goal and two helpers.
Richmond (6-1-0-0) returns to action Thursday when the North Vancouver Wolf Pack (4-1-0-2) visit Minoru at 7 p.m.
Nathan Alalouf made 20 saves in his Sockeyes’ regular season debut after re-joining the team from the Western Hockey League’s Tri-City Americans
