Riley Brace scored a pair of short-handed goals Friday to lead the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors to a 5-3 victory over the Owen Sound Attack in a rematch of last year's Ontario Hockey League final.

With five short-handed goals in four games, Brace is almost halfway to tying the OHL record in a season.

Keith Osborne of the Niagara Falls Thunder holds the record with 12 short-handed goals in the 1988-89 season.

Brace leads the league with eight goals and is second in points with nine. He trails only Barrie Colts forwards Tanner Pearson and Colin Behenna, who are tied for the points lead with 10.
