Anchorage Wolverines News Release
The game started and ended in the Ice Dogs' favor, but in the middle frame, the Wolverines briefly took control.
After falling behind 2-0 within the first five minutes, Luc Bydal put the Wolverines on the board. He carried the puck to the edge of the circle, spun, and fired a shot that deflected off two Fairbanks players before finding the back of the net.
Seven and a half minutes into the second period, while playing shorthanded, Sam Evert and Landon Greenough worked a give-and-go through the Ice Dogs' zone. Greenough fed Evert, who one-timed the puck to the far side to even the score at 2-2.
Before the second period ended, Chase Trompeter sent a long shot from the point. The puck traveled through traffic, struck the netminder, and slowly trickled across the line to give the Wolverines a 3-2 lead.
The Ice Dogs tied the game in the third period, forcing overtime. Just 26 seconds into the extra frame, Fairbanks found the winner to take the game 4-3.
The two teams will wrap up their series tomorrow in Fairbanks with puck drop set for 7:30 p.m.
