Pensacola Ice Pilots News Release
PENSACOLA, FL - Erik Fabian and Luke Erickson scored third period goals to rally the Ice Pilots from a two goal deficit and earn a point in a 3-2 shoot out loss to Gwinnett at the Pensacola Civic Center.
Tomas Pospisil, Lou Dickenson and Jeff Campbell scored the shoot out goals to give Gwinnett their fifth shoot out win this season. It was the first shoot out to take place at the Hangar this year.
Gwinnett rode the strength of their number one power play as Matt Anderson and Mike Hamilton each scored special teams goals to give the Gladiators a 2-0 lead after two periods.
It was Fabian who lit the spark for the Pilots as he scored his sixth goal of the season and his fifth in the last nine games to cut the lead to 2-1. Then, a loose puck on the doorstep was hammered in by Erickson to even the score at two. The Pilots had two power plays down the stretch including a full two minutes in over time but Gwinnett goaltender Dan Turple stopped 37 shots and helped the Gladiators to a win and extend their unbeaten streak to five games. Cam Ellsworth kept the Pilots in the game and made 30 saves. Mike Sgroi and Myles Stoesz fought in the third period.
