IceRays Drop Third Straight in 4-1 Loss to Lone Star

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX - The Corpus Christi IceRays (6-9-1) dropped their third straight game in a 4-1 loss to the Lone Star Brahmas (12-1-3) on Friday night at the Nytex Sports Centre. It marks their second three-game losing streak of the season. The IceRays mustered just 17 shots in the contest.

"We didn't generate enough sustained pressure tonight," said IceRays Head Coach Kevin St. Jacques. "Lone Star is a disciplined team, and when you give them momentum early, they make you pay. We need to be sharper, especially in the offensive zone, and find a way to bounce back tomorrow."

The opening segment flew by as both teams skated well while searching for the first goal. The Brahmas hoped to break through on the night's first power play, but the IceRays successfully killed off Jack MacKenzie's tripping minor. However, just two seconds after his release from the penalty box, Brahmas defenseman Denver Damphousse opened the scoring to make it 1-0 Brfahmas. The lead was short-lived as Corpus Christi responded 37 seconds later with Easton Swift's third goal of the season through traffic.

With the game tied, the South Division's top offense struck twice more in just over a minute. Goals from Vincenzo Capano and Christian Venticinque gave Lone Star a 3-1 lead heading into the first intermission.

The second period was quiet offensively, with both teams combining for only nine shots. Even so, the Brahmas extended their lead in the opening minute when Anthony Capello one-timed a pass from Camden Prier off the post and in, making it 4-1. That would be the period's only goal, and both teams failed to convert on their lone power-play opportunities.

The NAHL's stingiest defensive team shut down the IceRays in the final frame, allowing just four shots. IceRays goaltender Vlad Bryzgalov faced a period-high 12 shots, turning them all aside and finishing with 22 saves in the loss. At the other end, Nick Rempel stopped 16 shots to secure his sixth consecutive win as the Brahmas took the series opener, 4-1.
