Victory at last.

It had been a tough three weeks for the Nashua High School South-Pelham boys hockey team, but the Kings finally ruled, topping Portsmouth-Newmarket 5-1 on Monday night behind two goals and an assist by Andrew Byrne, and single goals by Gavin Asimakopulos, Broden Landsteiner and Brian Keefe.

Ryan Arnesen had two assists, while Landsteiner, Brendon Doughty and Andrew Croteau also picked up assists for the Kings, who led 3-0 after one period and never looked back. Meanwhile, Ethan Robinson had 17 saves in net.

The win snapped a seven game Kings losing streak, and has them now at 2-9 and headed to play at Pinkerton on Wednesday.
