Jamestown Ironmen News Release


The Jamestown Ironmen traveled to Kalamazoo, Michigan this past weekend and split a pair of games with the Jr. K-Wings in North American Hockey League action.

Jamestown (26-10-3) took the first contest on Saturday, with a 3-2 shootout victory.

It didn't look like the game was destined for overtime when the Ironmen got off to a quick start with a pair of goals in the first period. Defensemen, Dylan Zink scored unassisted while forward, Evan Ritt beat the Kalamazoo goaltender with assists from Tyler Minx and Ryan Urso.

Jamestown was shutout the next two periods while the Jr. K-Wings notched a couple of goals to tie the score at 2-2 and send the game into overtime. After a scoreless 4-on-4 overtime period, a shootout ensued where goals were hard to come by. Ironmen defensemen, Tyler Minx netted the only goal of the shootout to lift his team to victory.

Tim Shaughnessy made 40 saves between the pipes for Jamestown en route to his ninth win of the season. Jamestown outshot the opponent 47-42.

Sunday's game went the other way, as Kalamazoo (24-13-4) grabbed a 2-0 win over the Ironmen.

The contest was scoreless until Kalamazoo found the net with 7:27 remaining in the third period. The Jr. K-Wings added an empty net goal later in the third to seal the victory.

Jamestown was outshot, 38-21 on the afternoon, but Shaughnessy had another solid performance in goal for the Ironmen, making 36 saves.

"Shaughnessy played great. He gave us an opportunity to win, and in the end we just couldn't score," said Ironmen Head Coach Dan Daikawa in reference to Sunday's loss. "We are happy with the weekend. It is very tough to win on the road, and we are working through some injuries right now. Both games were tight and could have went either way."

Jamestown earned two points on the weekend and is once again tied with the Soo Eagles for first place in the NAHL North Division. The Ironmen will travel to Springfield for a pair of games with the Jr. Blues this Friday and Saturday and will return home to host the Soo Eagles at 11am on Thursday, January 31 for the Annual School Day Game.
