Alaska Aces News Release
ANCHORAGE, Alaska â The Anchorage Aces will be attempting to break a four-game losing streak when the club visits Long Beach Wednesday night.
Anchorage lost its sixth straight home opener Friday night before 5,991 (222 short of a sellout) by a score of 6-3 as Idaho overcame two goals by Yvan Corbin and three assists from Dean Larson. The Aces fell 5-2 the next night as Larson scored both goals, the second of which briefly tied the game late in the second period. The Steelheads polished off the three-game sweep with a 4-1 win Sunday. Corbin scored the only Anchorage goal as his team was held to a season-low 16 shots. The Aces have lost all five games against Idaho this year and have been outscored 25-10 and outshot 168-99 in the process.
Larson leads the West Coast Hockey league in scoring with 10 points on five goals and five assists while Corbin sits in a tie for second with nine (5g-4a). Linemate Carl Drakensjo leads the team and is tied for fourth in the league with a +4 rating. The Aces will next appear at Sullivan Arena November 15th, when the club begins a five-games-in-six-nights stretch against San Diego (0-3-1 last week) and Long Beach (1-2), its opponent next week.
