Burnevik Breaks Franchise Record, Capitols Drop Sixth Straight
February 12, 2024 - United States Hockey League (USHL)
Madison Capitols News Release
Austin Burnevik scored the lone Capitols goal on Saturday night, and it set a new franchise Tier I single-season record with his 26th of the season. He moved out of a tie with Alec Broetzman and Ryan Kirwan to take sole possession of the title.
Madison fell by a score of 4-1 for a second straight night after falling to Chicago on Friday. The loss extends the team's skid to six games, the longest of the season for the Capitols.
On the team's lone tally of the night, Jack Brandt and Diego Johnson picked up assists. The goal came on the power play where Madison was 1/4 on the night. The Capitols held the Green Bay power play scoreless in the contest as well going 4/4 on the penalty kill.
Patriks Berzins stopped 25 of 28 Gamblers shots on net in the contest while picking up his fourth loss in his last five games.
Rainers Rullers was sent to the locker room half way through the third period after being given a major for slashing and a game misconduct that came with it.
The Capitols will look to bounce back next weekend with a three-in-three, two of them at home. Friday and Saturday, the Capitols welcome in the Youngstown Phantoms for a $1 Beer Night presented by Coors Light and our annual Be The Miracle Night in support of the Bob Suter Memorial Foundation. The Capitols then travel to Chicago to wrap up the weekend on Sunday.
Tickets for the pair of home games next weekend and all Caps games can be found at tickets.madcapshockey.com.
