Hogberg Holds off Nailers
January 8, 2018 - ECHL (ECHL)
Wheeling Nailers News Release
WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers generated lots of opportunities on Friday night, but a large goaltender stood in their way. Marcus Hogberg made 44 saves in goal for the Brampton Beast, who got two goals from Nathan Todd and one from Brandon Marino in a 3-1 victory at WesBanco Arena. Garrett Meurs had the lone strike for the home squad.
The first three minutes of the game featured loads of excitement, starting with a fight off of the opening face-off between Jeremy Beirnes and Stefan Fournier. The Nailers fed off of that emotion, getting on the scoreboard at the 1:45 mark. Cam Brown centered a pass into the slot, where a shot was drilled into the right side of the net by Garrett Meurs. Brampton answered 29 seconds later, when Brandon MacLean feathered a pass to Nathan Todd for a redirection at the top of the crease. With 8:04 left in the stanza, the Beast went ahead. Brandon Marino slowly dangled his way into the slot, flipping a backhander into the left side of the cage.
One goal was scored in the seconds period, and it was a shorthanded strike for the visitors. Jordan Henry battled the puck away in his own zone, and ultimately sent his teammates down the ice on a 2-on-1 break. Todd kept the puck to himself on the left side, and proceeded to bury a wrist shot.
The Nailers poured 17 shots on goal in the third period to finish the game with 45, but neither team dented the twine, and the final score was 3-1 in favor of Brampton.
Marcus Hogberg turned in a 44-save performance to earn the win for the Beast, while Adam Morrison stopped 17 of the 20 shots he faced for Wheeling.
