Houston Aeros News Release
ABBOTSFORD, British Columbia --- The Houston Aeros earned a point in the West Division standings after falling 3-2 in a shootout against the Abbotsford Heat Tuesday night at Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre.
Greg Nemisz scored the deciding shootout goal after the Heat overcame a 2-0 deficit for the second straight night to force extra time.
For the second game in a row, the Aeros took a 2-0 lead on a pair of power play goals. Jarod Palmer staked Houston to a 1-0 lead with his second goal of the season at 8:27 of the first. Robbie Earl and Nate Prosser got the helpers as the Aeros scored first for the seventh-straight game.
The Aeros made it a 2-0 lead when Earl, with just three seconds left on Houston's fifth power play, put the puck past Heat goalie Leland Irving for his fourth of the season with 2:15 left in the second period. After not scoring power play goals in back-to-back games until Nov. 6, the Aeros now have man advantage tallies in four straight.
After stopping 23 shots in the first two periods of play, Khudobin was finally beaten by Abbotsford's Logan MacMillan 1:49 into the third. Chris Breen tied it at the 13:33 mark to send the teams to overtime for the second night in a row.
Both Khudobin and Irving made five stops in a lively overtime period, while Irving stopped 3-of-4 in the shootout and Khudobin stopped 2-of-5.
Houston is now unbeaten in regulation in six games (4-0-0-2) and is tied with Milwaukee for third place with a 6-5-1-2 record (15 points) in the West Division.
The Aeros continue their current five-game road trip with games at Peoria Saturday (7:05 p.m.) and Sunday (3:05 p.m.). Follow the action on 1070 KNTH and online at AEROS.COM.
