Swiss goaltender Claude Lotscher held off the Mattawa Voyageurs all night, leading the Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks to a 6-4 win at the Sturgeon Falls Arena Saturday night.

The Jacks jumped out to a 2-0 lead, only to see the Voyageurs battle back to tie it 2-2 after two periods. The teams traded goals throughout a furious third period, with the Jacks scoring an empty net goal to secure the 6-4 win.

The win improves the Jacks record to 14-3-0, good for second in the Greater Metro Jr. A. Hockey League standings behind the Temiscaming Titans.
