January 19, 2011 - ECHL (ECHL)
Alaska Aces News Release
Joe Fallon made 20 saves on as many shots, becoming the first goaltender to shut out the Alaska Aces in a 4-0 Las Vegas Wranglers win at the Orleans Arena on Tuesday night. The Aces fell to 21-14-2 on the year, and their winless five-game road trip came to a close. The Aces will now head back to Alaska where they prepare to host the Victoria Salmon Kings on Friday and Saturday night. Fans can visit the Aces at their Facebook page for more information, or call the Aces at 907.258.ACES.
Playing with a shortened bench due to injuries, the Aces again found themselves in an early hole. Greg Collins scored the first of two first period goals on the Wranglers first shot 1:09 into the hockey game. He added a power play goal at 10:45 to give Las Vegas a 2-0 lead after one period.
Las Vegas extended their lead to 3-0 when Jonathan Milhousecame away from the left corner with the puck and cut through the low slot, beating Adam Courchaine at 7:39 of
the second period. Blake Gallagher capped the scoring in the third after he scored from the slot, following an Aces misplay on the puck behind their net.
Adam Courchaine (5-5-1) made 19 saves on 23 shots, taking the loss. Joe Fallon (12-7-1) earned the win, and his second shutout of the year, making 20 saves on 20 shots. The Aces power play went 0-5, while the Wranglers went 1-4. The Aces were outshot by the Wranglers 23-20 in the game.
The Aces begin a five-game home stand when they host the Victoria Salmon Kings on Friday and Saturday night at 7:15pm. Tickets are available for both games. Fans can visit the Aces at their Facebook page for more information, or call the Aces at 907.258.ACES.
