Elmira Jackals News Release
Elmira Jackals rookie center Justin Donati ended Wednesday night's 2010 ECHL All-Star Game presented by Reebok and brought to you by Toyota and the City of Ontario with a goal in the shootout to give the American Conference a 10-9 victory. Jackals rookie winger Maxime Gratchev had two assists in the contest as well.
With the American Conference trailing late at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, Calif., Gratchev garnered his second assist of the game on Johnstown Chiefs forward Connor Shields' goal at 17:24 of the third period to even the score 9-9.
