Missouri River Otters News Release

Lonnie Loach scored the shootout game-winner and Brenden Cuthbert stopped all five Mallards shooters as the Missouri River Otters defeated Quad City 3-2 Saturday night at the MARK.

The Mallards struck first six minutes into the opening period when Chad Woollard rifled a deadly accurate wrister above the outstretched glove of Cuthbert. The River Otters battled back and tied the game when Jimmy Callahan took a tremendous pass from Jim Duhart and buried a shot behind Jason Tapp.

Missouri took a shot-lived second period lead when Brad MacMillan skated up the right wing and fired a low shot between Tapp's pads for his third goal of the season. Quad City tied the score two minutes later when Glenn Detulleo beat Cuthbert with a top-shelf wrister.

Neither team scored in the final period and the game went tied at two into the shootout. Cuthbert stoned all five Mallards shooters and Loach blasted a shot through Tapp's five-hole for the lone goal and the River Otters emerged victorious 3-2. Cuthbert made 30 saves in the victory while Tapp made 18 saves in defeat.

The River Otters next game is Friday, February 24 against the Elmira Jackals at the Family Arena. The puck drops at 7:00 PM CST and all the action can be heard on KSLQ 104.5 and the B2 Networks, located at www.riverotters.com.
