Kalamazoo Loses Overtime Thriller on Home Ice

February 11, 2012 - North American Hockey League (NAHL)
Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- Drew Graves notched his 100th career junior point, but it wouldn't be enough as the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings dropped their contest to the Port Huron Fighting Falcons by an overtime score of 3-2 on Saturday afternoon.

In a quick-moving first period, it was Port Huron who found the score sheet first. Joseph Pizza scored his second of the season at the 6:58 mark of the first period when he beat Kalamazoo goaltender, Ken MacLean through the five-hole.

While working with their first power play of the game, Kalamazoo drew even on the 13th of the season from Brandon Flood.

Early in the third, with the score tied at one apiece, Drew Graves broke the stalemate with his 21st of the season. The goal for Graves was his 100th career point in the North American Hockey League.

Port Huron struck right back, however, as Brett DeAndrea (12th) scored his third goal in his last two games to force overtime.

With 11 seconds remaining and working on the power play in overtime, Port Huron designed a backdoor play off the faceoff that saw Kody Polin (20th) bury the game winner.

The Jr. K-Wings will return to the Borgess Health Rink at Wings West again on Sunday, February 12th against the Jamestown Ironmen.
