Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- For the second straight night, the Greenville Road Warriors came into Wings Stadium and defeated the Kalamazoo Wings, this time 6-2, on Salvation Army Kettle Kick-Off Night.

After surrendering the first goal of the game in the first two nights of a four-game road swing, Greenville struck first 2:57 into the opening period on Friday with a goal from Jimmy Kilpatrick (3rd).

The key phrase of the first period was response and for the K-Wings they answered back less than two minutes later with a breakaway tally from Andrew Fournier (6th), which extended his point streak to five games.

Ten seconds after T.J. Reynolds went into the penalty box, Kory Karlander found Jordan Fulton (5th) to the right of the net for the go ahead marker.

Falling behind 2-1, it was Greenville's opportunity to respond. The Road Warriors lived up to their nickname, needing only 28 seconds to record the equalizer from Mark Voakes (6th).

In the second period, Brendan Connolly continued to rack up points. Connolly extended his point streak to 10 games and his assist streak to six games with a cross-rink feed to Igor Gongalsky (1st) midway in the stanza.

Capitalizing on a four-on-three power-play, Julien Brouillette's slap shot from between the circles pushed the Warriors ahead 4-2. The goal was Brouillette's eighth of the season, the most of any defensemen in the ECHL.

Greenville extended their lead to three goals late in the period with Gongalsky's (2nd) second on the night.

Putting the game out of reach, Kilpatrick (4th) recorded his second tally of the night on a power-play midway through the period.

While there wasn't much scoring, the third period did feature plenty of penalties. The game featured four fighting majors in the final 7:05 of the game. The K-Wings were whistled for 50 of their 56 minutes in the final period, while Greenville received 46 minutes of penalties in the third period for a game total of 52 PIMS for the night.

The K-Wings will go on a brief one game road trip tomorrow, Saturday, November 27th against the Wheeling Nailers. Face-off between the division rivals is slated for 7:35 p.m.
