In the PJHL playoffs the 73's eliminated Dresden last night with a 5-1 win to take that semi-final series in six games.
It was one nothing Essex after a period, and three nothing heading into the third.
Adam Gaiarin scored twice to lead the 73's, while Anthony Cristofaro, Sylvano Valente, and Dawson Winchester added the singles.
The Winchester goal was an empty-netter with just under five minutes remaining.
The 73's now wait for the winner of the Lakeshore/Flags series which resumes with game four tonight in Mooretown.
The Canadiens were 5-1 winners last night, and now own a commanding (3-0) series advantage.
