Elmira Jackals News Release
Elmira, NY - The Elmira Jackals scored their highest goal tally of the season Saturday night as they annihilated the Richmond Riverdogs 9-2 at the First Arena.
Richmond actually had the lead twice in this game, although both times it didn't last long. First J.J. Wrobel stole a clearing attempt by Greg Hewitt and scored before the goaltender could recover for a 1-0 lead. Greg Koehler scored his 20th goal of the season to draw the game level at 8:40. Kyle Sheen made it 2-1 at 11:28, but the Jackals responded again from Eddy Lowe tie it at two. Jason Sessa scored on the power play at 19:05 to make it 3-2 Elmira after one.
The Jackals then unloaded for four goals in the second period. Carl Drakensjo scored at 8:35 and then three power play goals were added by Elmira. Twice scoring was Corey Foster, his first two goals as a member of the Jackals, and Eddy Lowe scored his second in the period to make it 7-2 Jackals after 40 minutes.
The Jackals were on cruise control in the final frame, but still managed to add two more goals to their total. Koehler scored his second at 10:50 from Derek Campbell and Drakensjo. Sessa finished off the scoring with another power play goal at 13:28 from Koehler and Foster for a 9-2 final score.
Greg Hewitt got his 10th win of the season stopping 20-of-22 in the game; Kevin Kurk replaced Hewitt for the last 10 minutes of the contest and stopped the only shot that was goal bound. Jeff Sanger got the loss after making 19 saves on 26 shots through two periods; Ryan McIntosh stopped 11-of-13 in the third period for Richmond.
The Jackals are back in action Sunday afternoon for the back end of the home-and-home series with the Riverdogs; game time is at 5:05 pm live from the Richmond Coliseum.
