The Niagara IceDogs were in Erie tonight to close out their 3-game road trip, and begin a quick 3 in 3 week ahead of this upcoming rare weekend without games. Tonight's game marked the first time the IceDogs faced the Otters this season, including the first game for Ivan Lodnia against his former team. Last season, the IceDogs captured 11 of 12 points, with the sole loss coming in overtime against the Otters.

Ivan Lodnia (200 games) and Bradey Johnson (100 games) dressed for a milestone game tonight in Erie.

The Otters scored three early goals in the 1st period to carry a 3-0 lead into the first intermission. The second period was stronger for the IceDogs, making more effective plays in front of Colton Incze and getting better offensive opportunities in the Otters' zone. They put more shots on net, but they couldn't beat the Erie goalie. The IceDogs continued to push hard and were finally rewarded! Akil Thomas broke the Otters' shutout with his 4th of the season. Then, Matthew Philip made it a two-goal game, with his 4th of the season. Things got interesting when Colton Incze was pulled for the extra attacker. Niagara drew its first penalty of the game. Kirill Maksimov scored his league leading fifth powerplay goal of the season to cut the Otters' lead to one. In the final minute of the game, the 'Dogs did all they could to score the equalizer but just couldn't get this one done.

Erie took the game by a score of 4-3.
