Indiana Ice News Release
EXTENDED ENGAGEMENT: Extra innings wasn't enough to settle Saturday's contest with the Youngstown Phantoms as Indy rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the second period to fall to Youngstown 4-3 in an eight-round shootout. Vince Pedrie, Timothy Shoup and Scott Conway all recorded goals in the contest while Samu Perhonen and Jason Pawloski split time in net.
HOMECOMING: Indy's roster featured a pair of Carmel, IN natives on Saturday as Michael Preston and Joe Chitwood both suited up against the Youngstown Phantoms. Preston started his career with the Indianapolis Racers program before moving on to Culver Academy in Northern Indiana. Chitwood captained the 2013 NAPHL Indiana Jr. Ice U18 program last season.
PICKING RIGHT UP: Patrick Newell has picked up exactly where he left off last year as the Thousand Oaks, CA-native is riding a four-game point streak and a three-game assist streak.
