ROCHESTER — The Packers had a late answer as they beat Rochester John Marshall (3-11 overall, 2-5 Big Nine) 3-2 in a boys hockey game in Rochester Saturday.

Ethan Larson scored the game-winner for the Packers (5-7 overall, 2-4 Big Nine) on a powerplay with 43 seconds left in the game, just two minutes after the Rockets had tied things up at 2-2 on a goal by Alec McGinn.
