IceCaps Stunned by Comets in OT
February 6, 2016 - American Hockey League (AHL)
St. John's IceCaps News Release
ST. JOHN'S, NL - Brendan Gaunce scored just five seconds into overtime to deny the IceCaps two points as the Utica Comets prevailed 3-2 Saturday at Mile One Centre.
The IceCaps led 2-1 on goals by Jacob de la Rose and Gabriel Dumont but with just 1:28 to go in regulation Gaunce found the back of the net to force the extra frame, where he would waste no time ending it.
Eddie Pasquale started between the pipes for St. John's, stopping 26 shots in the loss. Dumont finished with a goal and an assist while de la Rose has now scored in back-to-back contests and led the club with six shots on the night.
The IceCaps once again paid tribute to the Royal Newfoundland Regiment Saturday by wearing special tribute jerseys and honouring those who served, and continue to serve, in the military.
St. John's continues its home stand Tuesday and Wednesday vs. the Syracuse Crunch (7:30 PM NT). Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the Mile One Centre box office and online at www.mileonecentre.com.
