Shreveport Mudbugs News Release


The Shreveport Mudbugs (9-5) got a welcomed sight in Nikola Goich returning in net and doubled up the Amarillo Wranglers, 4-2 to complete a series sweep at the Amarillo Civic Center Saturday night.

The Bugs got off to a roaring start to the game as Gleb Akimov tallied his fifth goal of the season at 7:33 to give SHV the early 1-0 edge. Kyan Haldenby set up the play and picked up the assist to extend his scoring streak to seven games. The visiting team would extend their lead at 13:09 as Andrej Paricka pelted in his second goal of the campaign to make it 2-0. David Erhard and Liam Doyle earned the helpers.

Amarillo would come back with goals at 17:56 of the first and 2:00 of the second to quickly even the score, 2-2. The streaking Aiden Puley would put a stop to that and power in his sixth goal of the year at 6:38 of the middle frame to give his team a 3-2 advantage. Haldenby and Doyle were behind the score and picked up the assists. SHV would grab another two-goal lead at 12:43 as Noah Ribeiro would nail in his second to make it 4-2. Bryce Boucher picked up the only assist on the play.

There would be no scoring in the third period as Nikola Goich made his first start in net in a month and earned the win making 28 saves on the night.

The Bugs will be back on the road to take on the Oklahoma Warriors for a two-game series beginning next Friday night from the Blazers Ice Centre. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m.
