SAN DIEGO - Glenn Gawdin's hat trick propelled the San Diego Gulls to a 6-1 win over the Grand Rapids Griffins at Pechanga Arena on Saturday.
Pontus Andreasson scored the lone goal of the contest for Grand Rapids as well as the fifth power-play tally of the weekend for the Griffins. Andreasson has lit the lamp in back-to-back games and has seven points (4-3-7) in his last six fixtures. With the loss, Grand Rapids split the season series against San Diego with a 2-2-0-0 record.
At 4:47 in the first, Kyle Criscuolo won a faceoff at the right circle and passed to Andreasson in the slot. The Swede fired a wrister past Lukas Dostal for a power-play tally and an early lead. Gawdin responded for San Diego, scoring with a backhand shot in the crease at 9:00 to tie the game. With 4:21 to go in the first, Brayden Tracy rifled the puck into the top shelf to take a 2-1 edge on a power play.
Just 1:42 into the second, Gawdin scored his second of the night from behind the left circle to increase the Gulls' lead to two. Givani Smith nearly cut the deficit to one near the crease, but Dostal made an impressive glove save at 14:27 to hold onto their 3-1 advantage.
Drew Helleson tacked on another for the Gulls at 7:32 in the final stanza by shooting the puck between the pads of Victor Brattstrom. The Griffins had a chance to cut into the 4-1 deficit at 9:50 with a 5-on-3 power-play opportunity, but San Diego killed the two-man advantage. The Gulls capped off the night with Gawdin securing a hat trick on an empty net at 12:36 and Dmitry Osipov firing a shot into the top left of the cage with 5:28 to go for a 6-1 victory to end the weekend series.
