Pensacola Ice Pilots News Release


COLUMBIA, SC - The Pensacola Ice Pilots look to make it back-to-back wins tonight when they battle the Columbia Inferno for a second straight time at the Carolina Coliseum at 6:05 pm central, 7:05 pm eastern.

David Wrigley scored the game winning goal 38 seconds into overtime on the power play that propelled the Ice Pilots past the Inferno 5-4. It was the first road win for the Ice Pilots in 2007 and second in three tries in Columbia.

However, Saturday's victory did not come without a heavy price as forward Dallas Steward has been lost to the team for an undisclosed amount of time with a broken left wrist sustained in the first period of last night's game. Steward fell awkwardly into the boards about midway through the first stanza.

Sergei Ogorodnikov and Mike Wirll each had two goals for the Ice Pilots in Friday's victory. Goaltender Michael Mole stopped 46 of 50 shots he faced, and kept his team in the game especially in the second period when he stopped all 15 shots.

Tonight's game will be joined in progress on both Classic Country AM1620 and www.icepilots.com at approximately 6:15 pm immediately following UWF Basketball. Denis J. Puska will bring you all of the exciting action of the Ice Pilots. The game will also be available on the B2 Networks and high speed internet is required in order to view it.
