February 28, 2020 - ECHL (ECHL)
Newfoundland Growlers News Release
The Newfoundland Growlers started a three-game trek in Florida with a 3-0 loss to the Everblades at the Hertz Arena in Estero, Flordia Friday night.
Despite the Growlers outshooting the EverBlades 11-5 in the first period, the squad from Florida found the scoreboard first when Justin Auger pinballed the puck behind Growlers goaltender Angus Redmond.
The second period still featured a well-tuned Growlers team who once again outshot the 'Blades 11-5 but couldn't claw their way onto the boxscore. The story of the period was Everblades goalie, Cam Johnson who turned away several high percentage chances to keep the 'Blades lead to one goal as both teams left the ice to prepare for the third.
Both teams battled in the third period as they generated quality scoring chances but the Everblades and namely Cam Johnson held the sparking Newfoundland offence off the scoreboard. Levko Koper scored on the Growlers empty net late in the third period to hand the Growlers a loss on their first game in Florida this weekend.
