exploded for six goals in the second period—four in the first three minutes—to break open a tight game, then kept a scrappy Revere team at bay on the way an 11-5 win at Revere Wednesday night. The win elevated the Blue to 8-7-3 and bolstered their position for a spot in post-season tourney play.
Captain Gino Cresta and Matt Videtta each scored hat tricks and each added three assists to power the Blue offense. Cresta triggered a Swampscott eruption just over a minute into the second period to give Swampscott a 3-1 lead. Then, like lightening striking in the next two minutes, Chris Carman, Videtta, and Chris Dandreo tallied and the score was 6-1 before the new ice was even scraped. Revere answered with a goal by Drew Lauria, but the Blue added two more to make it 8-3 after the second period.
