K-Wings Clip Cyclones In Shootout

October 24, 2010 - ECHL (ECHL)
Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- For the second straight night, the Kalamazoo Wings and Cincinnati Cyclones needed overtime to settle their differences and for the second straight game, it was the K-Wings that left victorious, this time with a 4-3 shootout win.

Flying out of the gate, the K-Wings outshot the Cyclones 12-3 in the opening period. Kalamazoo generated a majority of those opportunities on three power-plays. Capitalizing on the middle man-advantage, Kory Karlander found Trent Daavettila (3rd), who deflected the puck past Cincinnati goaltender Marc Cheverie. The goal extended Daavettila's goal and point streak to three games, it also extended Karlander's point streak to three games.

A role reversal from the first period, as the Cyclones received all four power-play chances in the second, but unlike the opening period, the Cyclones couldn't benefit from the man-advantage. However, Cincinnati's Sam D'Agostino (1st) did tie the game with an even-strength goal early in the period by jamming in a Brock Sheehan rebound. Also earning an assist on the tally was Dylan Hunter, who lengthens his point-streak to four games.

Kalamazoo answered back midway in the period, moving from the point to the left corner, AJ Thelen, started to move behind the net; however, using his vision, Thelen sent a perfect pass to Karlander, who knocked in his third goal of the season and in the process extended his goal streak to three games.

Early in the third, Kalamazoo extended their lead to two goals with a tally from Wes O'Neill (1st); however, Cincinnati would not be outdone, ring up back-to-back goals from D'Agostino (2nd) and Brett Robinson (1st) two minutes apart to tie the game at 3-3.

The teams remained deadlocked until Steven Tarasuk recorded the sole strike in an extended six-man shootout.
