STREAK SNAPPED

K-Wings Five-Game Winning Streak Ends with 3-2 Loss against Lumberjacks

December 27, 2008

Muskegon, MI – The Kalamazoo Wings battle for 60 minutes, but hot goaltending and a timely power-play goal for the Muskegon Lumberjacks proved to be the difference in the ‘Jacks 3-2 victory.

Fresh out of the penalty box, rookie defenseman Alex Lamontagne found the loose puck in the neutral zone, advanced it into the attack zone and unleashed a right circle slap shot to record his first goal as a professional.

Midway in the opening period, it was a K-Wings rookie, Bryan Jurynec that was in the right place at the right time. Jurynec (2nd) put Kalamazoo on the scoreboard with a rebound marker from a Mark Nebus slap shot. The assist from Nebus gives the forward a three-game point streak and points in six of his last seven games.

The Lumberjacks regained the lead 16:57 into the first period, when Billy Collins won a face-off back to Chad Woollard. The veteran one-timed the face-off win past goaltender Jason Tapp to give the Jacks a 2-1 lead.

Muskegon added to their lead in the second stanza, as Todd Robinson found Woollard (12th) in front of the K-Wings crease for a power-play tally to extend their lead to two-goals.

Answering back less than two minutes later at 8:14, Anthony Battaglia (9th) deflected a Ryan Kindret shot past Isaac Reichmuth to cut the Jacks lead to 3-2.

Despite out shooting Muskegon 12-10 in the third, Kalamazoo was unable to find the equalizer. Muskegon’s Reichmuth was a difference maker in the contest, stopping 36 shots for the victory, including all 12 he faced in the final 20 minutes. .
