Adirondack Frostbite News Release

Friday, February 3 vs. Roanoke FROSTBITE 6 Vipers 4 After a wild first period which saw the two teams score three times a piece, Roanoke took a 4-3 lead 5:47 into the second period on a David Beauregard goal. Adirondack tied the game late in the period on Scott Drevitch's second goal of the night. Drevitch completed the hat trick, and put the Frostbite ahead for good, with his ninth of the season 8:20 into the final period. Mike Berry provided some insurance with his 17th at 17:55 to set the final.

Saturday, February 4 vs. Danbury FROSTBITE 3 Trashers 2 The Frostbite picked up their third straight win over the Trashers with an exciting 3-2 victory in front of a season-high crowd of 4,070 fans.

Danbury got on the board 6:25 into the third with a 5-on-3 power-play goal from Jean-Michel Daoust. Berry restored the Frostbite's two goal advantage two-and-a-half minutes later, and that turned out to be a big goal after Ryan Barnes netted a shorthanded goal with 2:31 left in the third period. Kris Tebbs was able to hold off a furious Trasher rally in the closing seconds to preserve the win. Tebbs made 32 saves on the night in his first appearance since January 7, and recorded his first win since December 3.
