(Prescott Valley, AZ) - Sebastien Thinel whistled a shot past Marco Emond in round four of the shootout, and Jeremy Symington tuned away Joel Irving in round five to propel the Jackalopes to a 5-4 win over Arizona on Friday night. The win snapped a six-game winning streak for Arizona.

The Jackalopes held a 4-1 advantage after the first period, but Arizona chipped away in the other two periods to force overtime. Irving tied the game with the third period's only goal at 9:28. It was his second of the game as he also opened up the scoring :30 into the game.

Juha Toivonen started the game for Odessa but left at 2:21 into the second period after Peter Cartwright was tripped on a breakaway and collided into the Jacks goalie. His status will be determined later this week.

Nine different members of the Jacks recorded points in the game, including Mike Ramsay and Kory Karlander who each had a goal and an assist.

The Odessa Jackalopes are the Central Hockey League affiliate for the NHL's New York Islanders and the AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers. The team is currently in its 12th season. Season tickets, mini-plans, and single game tickets are available by calling (432) 552-PUCK or visiting jackalopes.org.
