Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies News Release


Atlantic City, NJ – Jason Notermann re-directed Luke Curtin's point shot at 3:54 of overtime for the game-winning goal to lead the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies to a 3-2 come-from-behind overtime victory over the Trenton Titans before a season-high 4862 at Historic Boardwalk Hall in ECHL action Friday.

Trenton (19-11-5) opened the scoring at 12:15 of the first period when Matt Zultek re-directed Scott Bertoli's cross-ice pass past Bullies goaltender Jake Moreland for a 1-0 lead.

That score would hold through to 57 seconds of the third period when off a turnover, Nick Deschenes broke free in on Moreland shorthanded and tipped the puck past the Bullies net-minder for a 2-0 advantage and the Titans first shorthanded goal of the season. Atlantic City (22-11-5) would counter with a pair of Dave Reid goals to tie the game at 2-2. Reid got the Bullies on the board when he collected Luke Curtin's rebound at the right point and beat Trenton goalie Andrew Allen along the ice at 4:45 on the power play to cut the deficit to 2-1. Reid then netted the equalizer at 11:26 of the period when off face-off win by Derek Edwardson, he slapped the puck through a screened Allen to tie the score at 2-2 and set up Notermann's overtime dramatics.

Trenton out-shot Atlantic City 41-30. Moreland stopped 39 shots to improve to 20-7-4 on the season. The Bullies went 1-7 on the power play. Atlantic City and Trenton combined for an ECHL season-high 42 penalties for 162 minutes.
