Battalion and IceDogs even at one win apiece

Christian Propp has the North Bay Battalion all even in their Ontario Hockey League playoff series against the favoured Niagara IceDogs.

Propp stopped 43-of-45 shots on Saturday as North Bay beat Niagara 5-2 in Game 2 of its best-of-seven Eastern Conference first-round matchup.

The 19-year-old also nearly stole the series opener for the seventh-seeded Battalion, making 50 saves in a 2-0 loss against the No. 2 IceDogs.

Mitchell Russell, Daniel Walker, Justin Brazeau, Mason Primeau and Brad Chenier supplied the offence for North Bay in Saturday’s win.

The Battalion host Game 3 on Tuesday.
