AHL Quick Hits

Published on November 25, 2002 under American Hockey League (AHL) News Release


Rickard Wallin recorded two goals and two assists to lead Houston to an 8-3 victory in Cleveland on Friday night. Travis Roche, Jean-Guy Trudel, Mark Cullen and Jeremy Stevenson each registered two points as 14 different Aeros hit the scoresheet, and Derek Gustafson made 26 saves to improve his record to 8-1-0 on the season.

Peter White netted his first hat trick in nearly six years, capping the effort at 2:28 of overtime to give Philadelphia a 6-5 win over Milwaukee on Friday. Mark Greig assisted on all three of White's goals, and White returned the favor by setting up Greig's second-period tally. Reid Simpson scored twice and Greg Classen had a goal and two assists for the Admirals.

Dave Hymovitz scored twice and rookie Ray Emery made 33 saves for his second shutout in as many nights, as Binghamton rolled over Hamilton on Saturday, 8-0. Jeff Ulmer, Josh Langfeld, Alexandre Giroux and Steve Martins all picked up a goal and an assist for the Senators, while Brad Smyth and Josef Boumedienne added two assists each. The two shutouts by Emery were the first of his pro career.

Pavel Rosa scored twice and added an assist as Manchester shelled Lowell for the second time in five days, winning on Sunday by a count of 7-1. The Monarchs scored four times on eight shots in the first period, and Steve Kelly and Yanick Lehoux made it 6-0 by the five-minute mark of the second. Cristobal Huet finished with 23 saves, and fell 37 seconds shy of his first AHL shutout.

LOOKING AHEAD:

Norfolk tries to end a two-game skid in Cleveland tonight (7:05 ET). The Admirals still sit atop the South Division, but their lead is down to just six points over the Bears, who have three games in hand. Mike Peluso is still tied for the AHL scoring lead with 26 points, although his 10-game scoring streak was snapped on Friday night. Jonathan Cheechoo had a goal and an assist in two weekend games, his first with the Barons this season after spending six weeks in San Jose.

Saint John and St. John's, two teams trying to get back in the win column, meet in Newfoundland for a two-game series, beginning Tuesday night (7:35 NT, 7:05 AT). The Flames are finishing up a nine-game road trip that began with three wins but has since seen four losses; the Maple Leafs are kicking off an eight-game homestand looking to turn around their current 1-9-2-0 slide. Rookie Matt Lombardi recorded a point on all six Saint John goals in a pair of losses at Manitoba over the weekend.
