Elmira Jackals News Release
Score eight goals and walk out with two points. That's just what the doctor ordered for the Elmira Jackals as they breezed past the Port Huron Beacons Saturday night 8-1 at the First Arena. The offensive explosion was the second highest goal total for Elmira this season; they scored a 9-4 win at Port Huron in November.
The Jackals blew out of the gates and took a 4-0 lead after the first period. Trevor Segstro, Don Smith (shorthanded), Eddy Lowe and Mike Thompson all lit the lamp as this game was over before the midway point.
After a scoreless second period, Port Huron ended Ryan McIntosh's hopes for a shutout when Barry McKinlay scored 58 second into the third. But Elmira would answer emphatically with four straight goals, cruising to victory. Randy Murphy scored his 14th of the year, Thompson got his second of the night, and then J.F. Boutin finished the evening with two straight goals to cap off a great night in Elmira.
McIntosh stopped 39 shots for the win, while Kory Cooper and Stu Dunn split the punishment, turning away a combined 30 of 38 shots from the Jackals.
Elmira looks to take 5 points out of the home triple-header Sunday afternoon with a 4pm matinee against the Adirondack IceHawks.
