Shreveport Mudbugs News Release


The Shreveport Mudbugs (4-4) outlasted the Oklahoma Warriors in OT, 2-1 on a game-winning goal from Cole Hutchinson just 29 seconds into the extra session in front of an energetic crowd at George's Pond in Hirsch Coliseum Saturday night.

After a scoreless opening period, the Bugs broke the ice at 14:02 of the second when Andrej Paricka deflected in his first goal of the year in front to give SHV a 1-0 edge. Liam Doyle and Jonah Jasser earned the helpers on the game's first goal. The home team led in SOG, 17-14 after two.

OKW evened the score on a 5 on 3 PP at 11:33 of the third period when Travis Bryson banged in his third goal of the year from the right wing circle to make it a 1-1 contest.

The game stayed tied 1-1 sending the game into sudden death OT. SHV would net the game-winner as Cole Hutchinson who fired a shot from the right wing circle which snuck through the Oklahoma goalie's pads and into the back of the net sending the Bugs to another dramatic 2-1 victory and their first series sweep of the season.

Aden Gariepy made 19 stops to earn his second straight win in net.

The Bugs will continue their home-stand next weekend as they'll open a two-game series against the New Mexico Ice Wolves beginning next Friday night. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:11 p.m. from George's Pond in Hirsch Coliseum.
