Pensacola Ice Pilots News Release
AUGUSTA, GA - Bobby Goepfert made 29 saves as the Augusta Lynx shut out the Ice Pilots 3-0 at James Brown Arena on Friday night.
Augusta went ahead in the first period as a face-off win allowed defenseman Will Bodine to fire a shot up high beating Mike Brodeur to give the Lynx a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes of play. Brodeur made 16 saves on 17 shots in the opening frame, including some huge stops on an Augusta 5 on 3.
The Ice Pilots were not able to capitalize on a four minute double minor given to Augusta for high sticking and shortly after, Louis Goulet snuck past the Ice Pilots defense and Shane Hynes found the back of the net with the loose puck on the doorstep to make it 2-0 Lynx.
In the third period, Augusta netted another goal as Chase Watson got credit for it after it went off an Ice Pilots player in front. The Lynx led at this point 3-0 and would go on for the victory. Goepfert stopped all 29 Ice Pilots shots for the victory.
The Pilots conclude the road trip back in Columbia on Saturday night against the Inferno. It will be the final meeting between the two clubs at the Carolina Coliseum as the Inferno will not play next season. They club is awaiting a new facility in a Columbia suburb.
