Admirals Pull off Comeback, Sink Nailers, 4-3

February 10, 2023 - ECHL (ECHL)
Norfolk Admirals News Release

Taking only seven seconds to get the scoring started, Norfolk got on the board quickly on a goal by Stepan Timofeyev. Wheeling was able to take control of the game, scoring twice within 90 seconds to take a one-goal advantage with 10:27 left in the first period. Timofeyev found the back of the net again with 13:42 remaining in the middle frame to tie the game at two apiece. While on the penalty kill, Wheeling had an odd-man rush and was able to score a short-handed goal to take the lead again with 9:39 to play in the second period. With time winding down in the game, Danny Katic was able to even the game once more on a power play goal with just 2:02 remaining, sending the game to overtime while gridlocked at three. With 3:11 remaining in overtime, Wheeling's Brooklyn Kalmikov was called for a slashing penalty sending the Admirals to a four-on-three power play. Exactly one minute into the power play, Timofeyev found Griffin Lund in front of the goal, and Lunn moved the puck to his forehand, then buried it home for the game-winning goal.
