Roseau rallies from 2-0 deficit to beat Proctor 4-3 in overtime

Roseau staged a comeback from a 2-0 hole to claim a 4-3 overtime victory over Proctor, a finish that reshapes late-season momentum for both programs, according to game accounts and local reporting. The game was tied 3-3 after regulation and decided in sudden death overtime.

“Roseau rallied from a 2-0 first period deficit to take down the Rails 4-3 in overtime on Friday night,” WDIO reported. A Roseau game recap likewise said, “Proctor (Rails) and Roseau (Rams) played to a 3–3 tie in regulation on Friday, Feb. 6; Roseau won in overtime, 4-3. Proctor led 2–0 in the first before Roseau replied; Proctor went up 3-2 after two periods. Roseau's Anton Klint tied the game in the third peri” (excerpt).

Proctor opened the game with pressure. WDIO credited Owen Baker with the opening goal and said Jax Hardy redirected a tip out front to extend the Rails’ lead to 2-0 in the first period. Roseau cut the margin late in the opening frame when Anton Klint struck on a five-on-three power play, “cutting their deficit in half heading into the intermission,” WDIO said.

In the second period Roseau continued to press. WDIO reported that Tyler George “would get past Proctor’s Wes Paulson and fire a shot over William Pocrnich’s shoulder, tying the game at two.” Proctor answered when Wynn Giswold “won a footrace to the puck, charging towards the cage and tucking it behind the Rams’ netminder and giving Proctor a 3-2 lead,” WDIO wrote. The game remained tight into the third before Roseau evened the score to force overtime; the original recap identifies Anton Klint as a key third-period scorer.

The outcome reported by WDIO and the Roseau recap conflicts with a separate text feed. The Rink Live textbot published an account under the headline “Proctor/Hermantown Mirage beat Roseau Rams in overtime” that says, “The game went into overtime and Proctor/Hermantown prevailed. The final score was 4-3,” and names Morgan Lavalley as the overtime game-winner at 7:30 of overtime. That feed supplies a different period-by-period sequence and a roster that includes several players not mentioned in the WDIO/recap coverage. The two narratives cannot both be accurate for the same varsity boys contest; the Rink Live account may describe a different game or a reporting error, and verification is pending.

On the standings front, WDIO reported that Proctor sits at 11-11-1 and will visit Duluth Denfeld (7-13-1) on Tuesday, February 10. WDIO also noted this was Proctor’s final game of a six-game homestand, “a stretch in which they went 1-4 prior to the matchup against Roseau.”

For local fans and families, the result matters for momentum and travel plans as both programs approach the final stretch of the season. Roseau’s late rally underlines the Rams’ resilience in tight games, while Proctor’s narrow defeat leaves questions about closing out homestands and converting scoring chances. Verification of the game sheet and official box score remains the next step to reconcile conflicting reports and confirm goal-by-goal credits and the overtime scorer.
