Caps 3rd Period Push Falls Short, Settle for Split with Lumberjacks
February 12, 2022 - United States Hockey League (USHL)
Madison Capitols News Release
The Madison Capitols were one goal away from pulling even with the Muskegon Lumberjacks but couldn't quite net the equalizer and fall 4-3 in tonight's series finale.
Trying to dig themselves out of a three goal deficit entering the 3rd period, Madison would go on to net the only goals of the frame.
Jake Dunlap cut the Lumberjack lead to 4-2 when he went coast-to-coast and fired home his 15th goal of the season, 2:45 into the 3rd period. Dunlap is tied for the team lead in goals with Luke Mittelstadt and Kyle Kukkonen. With 5:00 to play in regulation, Matthew McGroarty buried the Caps third goal of the game off a gorgeous passing play from Brendan Lamb and Michael Quinn.
The Capitols threw 41 shots on net this evening, a good chunk of those came on the power play. Madison went 1-for-5 with the man advantage this evening.
The Caps return to action Thursday, February 17th when they open up their first of three games next weekend.
