December 16, 2007 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Fargo-Moorhead Jets News Release
(Alexandria, MN) I great stocking stuffer for all as Dakota Collins (Gilbert, AZ) notches his first goal and the Jets end slump 5-3 over the Blizzard.
The Jets jumped out to a comanding 3-0 lead thanks in part to a Alexandria turnover in the slot and Andrew Kuechler (Lomira, WI) made they pay. Michael Schumacher (Duluth, MN) would net the second goal with a little help from his friend in Jordy Trottier (Bozeman, MT) putting the Blizzard down 2-0. Collins would put away his first ever goal for the Jets that sent Alexandria goalie Brenden Desjardins to showers with an early exit. The Jets were out shot 14-10 but not out scored 3-1 after one.
Marc Harrie (Fargo, ND) would eventually get the game winner and Trottier would tag on another assist making 4-1 but the Blizzard would battle back. The teams would go back and forth with scoring chances left and right and Elliot Okland (Fargo, ND) keeping the Jets on top after two periods 4-1.
Jens Nilsson (Sweden) and Mikael Lickteig (Little Falls) each buried a goal putting it at a one goal game late in the third and once again Okland came up huge sliding left and right making 42 saves in all. Schumacher would add a late empty netter with Trottier finishing the night with a hat trick of assists. The Jets end up winners 5-3 for the first time since November 9th and head into the holiday layover on a much higher note.
Fans can join the Jets on the road for the 28th, 29th and 31st in Bismarck at the end of the month. Until then have a safe holiday season!
