Johnstown, PA - The Johnstown Chiefs fell to the Augusta Lynx by a score of 6-4 on Saturday night at the Cambria County War Memorial.

Dmitri Tarabrin opened the scoring for the Chiefs, takin a long lead pass from John Adams and breaking in on Augusta goaltender Nathan Marsters, making a nifty move to beat him to the stick side at 4:53.

Augusta jumped right back into the game, getting power-play goals from Weston Tardy at 6:35 of the first and Ken Scuderi at 13:06. Garrett Bembridge fired a wrist shot past Chiefs goaltender Morgan Cey at 8:47 of the second period to give Augusta a 3-1 lead, and then Jamie Johnson scored shorthanded at 13:53.

Brandon Elliott scored on the power play at 19:07 of the second, picking up the rebound of a shot by Dmitri Tarabrin. Elliott would score his second of the game at 3:18 of the third, and Stanislav Lascek drew the Chiefs even with Augusta at four-apiece, scoring on the power-play at the 7:00 mark.

Augusta would regain the lead when Louis Goulet broke in shorthanded with Ryan Lang, burying a give-and-go to give Augusta a 5-4 lead at 11:46 of the third. The Lynx would add an insurance goal on a two-man advantage at 17:46, when the Chiefs had been assessed a pair of bench minors, with Sean Blanchard firing a wrist shot from the top of the slot past Chiefs goalie Gerald Coleman, who replaced Cey at the start of the third period.
