Jacksonville Icemen News Release


JACKSONVILLE, FL - Lincoln Griffin scored the game-tying goal with 1:50 remaining to force overtime, 2- 1 before falling in overtime to Savannah in front of an announced crowd of 10,027 at Vystar Veterans Memorial Arena. Despite the loss, the Icemen pick up a big point in the standings.

The Ghost Pirates stuck first in the opening period, on a 5-on-3 power play. Reece Vitelli managed to beat Icemen netminder Cameron Rowe with a clean shot that gave Savannah a 1-0 lead.

This score would hold all the way until the final minutes of regulation when the Icemen pulled the goaltender to allow for the extra attacker. Newcomer Lincoln Griffin delivered a shot that tied the game at one with 1:50 remaining in regulation to force overtime.

However, in the extra session, the Ghost Pirates' Tristan Amonte would tip a shot in front and redirect it past Rowe to seal the game for Savannah in the final minute of overtime by a 2-1 final.

The Icemen reached the 40-shot mark for the second time in as many nights, but Savannah goaltender Noah Giesbrecht was stellar making 39 saves. Savannah's third ranked penalty also played a big part in the win, killing off a lengthy 5-on-3 by the Icemen and a 4-on-3 situation in overtime.

The Icemen do rally to earn a point in the standings. The Icemen play at North Charleston tomorrow afternoon against the Stingrays at 3:00 p.m.
