IHL 2 Kalamazoo Wings

K-Wings' Jason Tapp Stops 45 Shots in 5-0 Shutout

Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI - The reigning Southern Sports Supply Goaltender of the Week didn't look like he wanted to relinquish the honor anytime soon, as Jason Tapp turned aside a season-high 45 saves to guide the Kalamazoo Wings to a 5-0 victory over the Bloomington PrairieThunder at Wings Stadium.

In the first period, if the net was a crime scene, Tapp would have been arrested for robbery. Despite allowing a season-high 23 shots on net and shooting a season-low three shots on net, it was the K-Wings that led the PrairieThunder 2-0 after 20 minutes.

John Miller (1st) put the K-Wings on the board at the 6:02 mark of the first period with his first goal of the season. Miller took a pass from Rob Jarvis and skated into the PrairieThunder zone, blasting a slap shot from just outside the right circle that fooled PrairieThunder goalie Scott Frankhouser.

Over one-minute later, on just their second shot of the period the K-Wings scored their second goal of the night on a Glenn Detulleo (7th) shot that skirted past the right pad of Frankhouser. With the goal, Detulleo has earned a point in four straight games as well as in 11 of his last 12 contests.

Lucas Drake (8th) added the K-Wings third goal of the night at 1:08. The goal extended Drake's current point streak to four games.

Jarvis (2nd) and Tommy Lange (5th) closed out the scoring for Kalamazoo by each lighting the lamp in the third period.

Besides stellar goaltending by Kalamazoo, the top penalty killing team in the IHL flexed their muscles denying all 10 of Bloomington's power-play chances.
