Here are the three takeaways from Saturday’s 2-0 victory

Andre Lee strikes again

It was the night of the annual teddy bear toss, and nobody scored a goal through 40 minutes. The Reign and Condors were engaged in another tight-checking game. For those who don’t know, the annual teddy bear toss happens every year for the Ontario Reign and other teams around the AHL. The way it works is when the home team scores their first goal, all the fans in attendance who brought teddy bears to the game throw them onto the ice. Those teddy bears/stuffed animals go to charity for a good cause.

At the 2:27 mark of the third period, Andre Lee beat Condors netminder Olivier Rodrigue for his second goal in three games, unleashing the teddy bears/stuffed animals on the ice. The goal by Lee would be the game-winner as Samuel Fagemo added an empty-net goal as insurance. Lee has played well the last couple of weeks and it’s good to see him get rewarded.
