BRAMPTON, Ont. - Matt MacLeod scored three times and set up one more as the Brampton Battalion downed the visiting Barrie Colts 5-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.
Patrik Machac had a goal and three assists for the Battalion (33-25-9), who have won three games in a row, and rookie Blake Clarke chipped in with three assists.
"Awesome job from the guys today," said MacLeod. "That’s the way we need to play in order to be successful in the playoffs."
Barclay Goodrow added a single goal to round out Brampton's offence.
Steven Beyers, Ryan O'Connor and Aaron Ekblad scored for the Colts (43-20-4), who had their seven-game win streak snapped, and Mitchell Theoret had two assists.
