Colorado Eagles News Release


CALGARY, AB. - Calgary struck three times on the power play to wipe away a 2-0 deficit and defeat the Colorado Eagles 3-2 in overtime on Thursday. Wranglers forward Dryden Hunt led the way with a goal and two assists, while fellow forwards Martin Frk and William Stromgren also found the back of the net. Eagles forwards Nikita Prishchepov and Tye Felhaber each netted a goal, as Isak Posch suffered the overtime loss, making 30 saves on 33 shots.

Colorado would kick off the scoring when Prishchepov snagged a pass at the side of the crease and snapped it past goalie Owen Say. The tally was Prishchepov's first goal of the season and gave the Eagles a 1-0 edge at the 13:20 mark of the first period.

Felhaber would then strike just 1:59 later when he fielded a pass from behind the net and lit the lamp from the low slot, doubling Colorado's advantage to 2-0.

A Calgary power play would swing the momentum, as Stromgren buried a wrister from between the circles, trimming the deficit to 2-1 with 2:56 remaining in the opening frame. The Eagles would go on to outshoot the Wranglers 11-10 and carried their 2-1 lead into the first intermission.

Calgary would take advantage of a four-minute, double-minor power play, as Frk sent a shot from the left-wing circle into the back of the net, tying the game at 2-2 with 12:44 left to play in the second period.

Still deadlocked at 2-2 as the puck dropped on the third period, the Wranglers would outshoot Colorado 7-6 in the final frame, but neither side would find a go-ahead goal and the game would shift to sudden-death overtime.

After earning their sixth opportunity on the man-advantage, the Wranglers would generate the game-winner, as Hunt collected a rebound at the side of the crease and stuffed it home, giving Calgary the 3-2 win just 1:16 into the extra session.

The Eagles finished the afternoon going 0-for-4 on the power play and 3-for-6 on the penalty kill. Say earned the win in net, stopping 23 of the 25 shots he faced.

The Eagles will be back in action when they travel to take on the Henderson Silver Knights on Saturday, January 3rd at 7:00pm MT at Lee's Family Forum in Henderson, Nevada.
