Mississippi Sea Wolves News Release


JOHNSTOWN, PA - Peter Pohl's three points led the Johnstown Chiefs to a 3-1 win over the Mississippi Sea Wolves at the Cambria County War Memorial in Johnstown, Pa. on Wednesday night.

Pohl scored his first goal of the game 3:44 into the first period when Todd Griffith broke down the left wing and fed the puck to Pohl, who was waiting on the back doorstep for an easy tap-in.

Just past the midway point of the first frame, Pohl and Griffith broke down the ice two-on-one and Pohl laid a pass on the tape of Griffith, who shot top corner to beat Sea Wolves goalie Ryan Munce at 10:002 of the first.

Mississippi got on the board with a five-on-three power play goal at 15:28 of the second when Peto's blast from the point eluded Johnstown's Kris Mayotte.

Pohl iced the game for the Chiefs when he stripped Peto of the puck with the Mississippi net empty and made a wraparound to give Johnstown a 3-1 lead at 19:07 of the third period.

Ryan Munce made 28 saves to take the loss, and the Sea Wolves power play was 1-for-4.
