Cutthroats Defeat Fort Worth Brahmas, 5-3

November 2, 2012 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Denver Cutthroats News Release


DENVER - Brad Smyth scored two goals and Kyle Quincey and A.J. Gale each had a season-high three assists to lead the Denver Cutthroats to a 5-3 win over the Fort Worth Brahmas on Friday night at the Denver Coliseum.

Smyth's second goal proved to be the game-winner late in the second period after Fort Worth scored three unanswered earlier in the stanza. Smyth's two goals make it four consecutive games the Cutthroats have had a multi-goal scorer.

Troy Schwab contributed two assists for Denver and goaltender Kent Patterson, a Colorado Avalanche prospect, made 17 saves on 20 shots for his second win of the year.

For the first time this season, Denver took a 3-0 lead in a contest with two power play goals in the first period. The first came on a shot by Quincey from the point that Jean-Phillipp Chabot tipped into the net at 8:43, and the second on a rebound off the back wall that Markus Lauridsen whacked past Brahmas goaltender Larry Sterling at 10:43. The Cutthroats extended their lead to three with 4:17 left in the period when Smyth scored his first of the game on a bouncing puck in front.

Fort Worth (1-3-1) battled back in the second period, scoring three straight goals to the tie the game, but Smyth picked up his second score of the night late in the stanza to give the Fish back the lead going into the second intermission. Smyth's goal came with 2:18 remaining in the period on a rebound in front.

The Cutthroats (2-3-0) extended their lead back to two as Brett Lutes scored his first of the season at 7:53. With Lutes crashing the net from the left side, the puck slid through the Fort Worth crease and on to Lutes' stick, where he fired it into the goal.

The Cutthroats finished 2-for-5 on the power play, while the Brahmas went 0-for-4.

Denver and Fort Worth will meet again on Saturday night as the two teams will conclude their weekend series at 7:05 p.m. at the Denver Coliseum.
