Growlers Rally to Beat the Royals 5-4
December 3, 2019 - ECHL (ECHL)
Newfoundland Growlers News Release
The Newfoundland Growlers returned to Mile One Centre with a 5-4 come from behind victory over the Reading Royals Tuesday night.
The Royals were buzzing out of the gate, quickly putting 2 goals behind Growlers goaltender Angus Redmond while outshooting the Growlers 17-1 after 13 minutes of play. Justin Brazeau got the Growlers on the board with a powerplay tally with 4 minutes left in the period.
Reading added a goal from Ralph Cuddemi in the second period and Trevor Yates added another to start the third to give the Royals a comfortable 4-1 lead 6:19 into the third period.
Todd Skirving started the scoring rush for the Growlers after he banged in a rebound on Railers goalie Krill Ustimenko. Marcus Power and Dylan Vander Esch quickly added to the Growlers goal tally, forcing three-on-three overtime.
A back-and-forth overtime period ensued but the Growlers kept their momentum going as Joseph Duszak blasted the puck over the Railers netminder, finishing off an odd-man rush to complete the 4 goal comeback.
Quick Hits
