LONG BEACH, Calif. â The Long Beach Ice Dogs (15-8-3) won their third straight game by a score of 3-2, sweeping the Idaho Steelheads (14-11-1) in the two game series in front of 4,111 at the Long Beach Arena. The win extends the Ice Dogs unbeaten streak to seven games (6-0-1) and moves them to within three points of the West Division leading Bakersfield Condors.
Idaho got the scoring started when Jonathon Zion scored on the power play 7:43 into the first period. But with 34 second remaining in the period, Yuri Moscevsky scored on a breakaway for his second goal of the season. Paul Dunphy and Paul Spadafora were each credited with an assist on the play as the period ended in a 1-1 tie.
At 2:37 of the second period, Evan Cheverie put the Ice Dogs on top, 2-1, with a power play goal assisted by Matt Shasby. Just 21 second later, Chris Kenady scored to make it 3-1 as Shasby and Cheverie both got assists. The score remained 3-1 Long Beach until Bobby Russell of the Steelheads scored in the final 5 seconds of the game. However, there wasn't enough time for them to drive the puck into the Ice Dogs zone after the face-off and the game ended, 3-2.
Chris Madden played in his third straight game, making 25 saves to improve his record to 11-1-0 on the season. Idaho goaltender, Frank Doyle, was credited with the loss, stopping 17 Long Beach shots. Both teams finished 1-7 on the power play.
