Roanoke Rail Yard Dawgs News Release


PENSACOLA, FL. - The Rail Yard Dawgs put up a strong defensive effort tonight, but were held off the scoreboard in a 3-0 shutout loss to the Pensacola Ice Flyers on Saturday night. Mac Berglove made 20-of-22 saves for Roanoke, while Seth Kuhn had a 35-save shutout for Pensacola.

The first period was controlled by the Dawgs for the first 12 or so minutes, holding an 8-2 shots on goal advantage and earning the game's first power play. A turnover in the neutral zone sprung a 2-on-1 shorthanded chance for the hosts, and Brennan Blasczak scored on a one-timer to make it 1-0 Pensacola at the 12:40 mark. That score held into the first intermission.

The second period was once again dictated by Roanoke, who outshot the Ice Flyers 14-7 during the middle frame. The Dawgs had two back-to-back power plays after consecutive penalties by Brandon Tucker, but failed to capitalize on the chances. Roanoke still trailed 1-0 entering the third period.

The Dawgs had plenty of chances for an equalizing goal in the final period, once again outpacing Pensacola in shots by a 12-5 margin. A score by Marcus Russell with 5:15 remaining made it 2-0 Ice Flyers, and the Dawgs went to an empty net with 2:27 to go. An empty net score by Blaszczak with 1:20 remaining made it 3-0, and led to a very chippy end to the game. Four Dawgs ended the game in the locker room early for 10-minute misconduct penalties, while two Ice Flyers received that fate. Roanoke went 0-for-3 on the power play, while Pensacola went 0-for-2 in a 3-0 win that completed a two-game sweep over the Dawgs.

The Rail Yard Dawgs will take on the Fayetteville Marksmen on Thursday at 10 a.m. EST at Crown Coliseum.
