Canton, NY – Stephen Johnson scored twice and Mitchell Herlihey finished with a goal and two assists as the No. 2 nationally-ranked Oswego State men's hockey team skated to a 6-0 victory against SUNY Canton on Saturday in the Roos House.

With six minutes remaining in the 5-on-4 Johnson lit the lamp off the setup from Kenny Neil and Alex Botten. Oswego State extended the lead to 3-0 on an unassisted marker from Joey Davies at 6:30.

The Lakers added three third period goals from Sean Federow, Andrew Barton and Johnson for the 6-0 final.

David Jacobson stopped all 24 shots he faced in the shutout, while Josh Erickson and Austin Washkurak combined to make 25 saves in the loss for the Roos (7-16-2).

The Lakers went 2-for-4 on the power play, while Canton was 0-for-3 with the skater advantage.
