Guggenberger Sets CHL Mark in Win Over Bees
February 18, 2012 - Central Hockey League (CHL)
Fort Worth Brahmas News Release
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas - Mark Guggenberger held the Bees scoreless for the first 23:15 of the Brahmas' 3-1 win Friday night, setting a Central Hockey League record for consecutive scoreless minutes with 238:31.
The Richfield, Minnesota native exceeded John DeCaro's mark of 222:41, set back in 2008-09 for the Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs. Guggenberger made 19 saves on 20 shots, lowering his league-leading goals against average to 1.88 and raising his CHL-best save percentage to .929.
Phil Fox got the Brahmas on the board early, just 1:59 into the first period. Fox's 17th goal of the season was assisted by Thomas Galiani, who recorded the first point of his professional career on the play.
After Bees' forward Tomas Klempa scored at the 3:15 mark of the second period, the teams headed into the third period all knotted up at one goal apiece. Chad Woollard's goal, his 20th of the season, with 5:17 remaining in regulation gave the Brahmas a lead they would not relinquish. For Woollard, the score pulls him within one of tying Chris Richards (376) for 10th on the CHL all-time goal-scoring list.
Brahmas' captain Adam Hogg added an empty-netter with 13 seconds to go in the third period to make the final tally 3-1 in favor of Texas.
The Brahmas (26-17-8) have now won six straight games, and will hit the ice again on Tuesday, February 21 when they take on the Americans at the Allen Event Center. After a Friday night tilt on the road versus Tulsa on February 24, the Brahmas will host the Oilers on Saturday, February 25 at 7:45pm and on Sunday, February 26 at 5:30pm at the NYTEX Sports Centre.
