Evansville, IN - The Evansville IceMen (23-36-2-4) scored two goals late in the period to defeat the Kalamazoo Wings (32-26-4-1) 4-2 and in the process snapped the K-Wings season-high four-game winning streak.

Pressuring the K-Wings from the opening face-off, the IceMen tried to get pressure on goaltender Ryan Daniels, who was making his Kalamazoo debut. In the opening period, Evansville outshot Kalamazoo 23-6.

The IceMen's shooting barrage led to two goals in the period 35 seconds apart. Colin Reddin (1st) put Evansville ahead 1-0 with a rebound marker 14:54 into the contest. Moments later, Todd Robinson crashed the net for his seventh-goal of the season.

Cutting the lead in half midway in the second period, while on the power-play, John Armstrong sent a cross-rink pass to Alexandre Grenier for his sixth-goal of the season. The goal from Grenier extended his point streak to seven games, while Armstrong's assist pushed his point streak to an ECHL season-high 15 games.

After Evansville Donnie Harris whiffed on a one-timer, Nick Sirota raced up ice and beat Jason Reid on a breakaway for his team-leading 20th goal of the season 11:58 into the third period.

Daniel Tetrualt (11th) gave the IceMen the lead for good scoring from the point with 1:26 remaining in regulation.

Adding some insurance, Olivier Gabriel (3rd) tacked on an empty-netter to close out the scoring.

The K-Wings will return home to Wings Stadium tomorrow, Sunday, March 17th, for a 3 p.m. face-off versus the Greenville Road Warriors during the 32nd Annual "World Famous" St. Patrick's Day Green Ice Game and a Family Hockey in the 'ZOO, where all kids eat FREE and presented by Bronson Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, Consumers Credit Union, Meijer, Charter and MLive.
