Stewart, of Wellington and a Lockview High alum, stopped all 16 shots he faced in the game.
Meanwhile, East Hants fired 35 pucks at Elks goalie Cole Echlin who was big in net for his squad.
The game was rather tame between the rivals with just six penalty minutes called, four to the Elks.
East Hants doesn’t have a home game this Friday night as they hit the road for a 2 p.m. game on Sunday Nov. 2 against Eskasoni Eagles at the Dan K. Stevens Memorial Arena in Eskasoni.
The Pens return home Nov. 7 at the Keith Miller Arena to host the Glace Bay Miners in a 7:30 p.m. puck drop.
