Kalamazoo Wings News Release
Kalamazoo, MI- Commencing a season-long seven-game home stand, the Kalamazoo Wings proved there is no place like home, as the K-Wings defeated the Elmira Jackals 6-3.
Justin Taylor (15th) put the K-Wings on the scoreboard 8:18 into the opening period with a power-play tally. Taylor's goal marked the first time in the last 11 games that Kalamazoo scored the first goal of a game.
Kalamazoo extended their lead 2:17 into the second period, when Trent Daavettila (12th) knocked in a Darryl Lloyd rebound. Both players extended their respective point streaks to five games with the marker.
Storming back, Elmira answered back with three unanswered tallies. A.J. Perry (13th) earned the Jackals first goal of the game on the power-play 3:50 into the second period.
Elmira pulled even later in the period, with Josh Brittain's second goal of the season.
Yannick Tifu (13th) gave the Jackals the lead midway in the stanza with a quick wrister from just beneath the right circle.
Answering back minutes later, Aaron Clarke (8th) recorded the equalizer off a cross-rink pass from Mitch Versteeg.
It was all Kalamazoo in the third period, as AJ Thelen netted his third goal of the season and the eventual game-winner, off of a wrister that beat Elmira goalie Dan Machesney over his extended trapper-glove.
Just past the half-way point of the period, Andrew Fournier (21st) extended both the K-Wings lead, and his goal streak with a snap-shot that snuck past the Elmira goalkeeper. The goal continued his goal streak that sits now at K-Wings season high five games.
Patrick Asselin added the final goal of the game, his 14th of the season at the 11:30 mark to cap off his impressive four-point performance during the matinee.
