November 26, 2016 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Rockford IceHogs News Release
Rockford, Ill. - Tyler Barnes found the back of the net twice on Friday, but it was not enough as the Rockford IceHogs (7-9-1-1) fell in a shootout, 3-2, to the Milwaukee Admirals (12-2-1-1) at the BMO Harris Bank Center. The Admirals rallied for a two-goal comeback in the third period to earn the win.
Milwaukee scored its two goals in a 2:04 span to force overtime. Frederick Gaudreau netted a power-play goal at 15:13 in the third on the 30th Admirals shot of the game. Vladislav Kamenev tied it up 2-2 with 2:43 left in regulation.
Kevin Fiala then notched the only shootout goal as Milwaukee goalie Marek Mazanec stopped Barnes, Martin Lundberg and Erik Gustafsson.
After going 0-for-6 with the man advantage on Wednesday night, the IceHogs capitalized on their first power-play opportunity Friday night. Cameron Schilling finessed a wrister from the right blueline that Barnes was able to tip past Mazanec to give Rockford an early 1-0 lead at 5:55 into the first period.
The IceHogs extended their lead to 2-0 at 17:51 in the middle frame. Chris DeSousa fed Tanner Kero a pass right on the tape to exit the Rockford zone and start the odd-man rush. Kero skated into the offensive end where he sent a perfectly placed pass to Barnes who beat Mazanec stick side for his second goal of the season.
Mac Carruth made 35 saves on 37 shots. Rockford was 1-for-3 on the power play and the Admirals were 1-for-4.
Next Home Game: Wednesday, Nov. 30 vs. Manitoba Moose at 7 p.m. Face-off is set for 7 p.m. The IceHogs host the Moose for the first of eight meetings between the two teams of the 2016-17 season.
