Kearney, NE - Jacob Bryson recorded two assists and Brian Williams scored the eventual game-winning goal as the Omaha Lancers came from behind to pick up a 3-1 road victory against the Tri-City Storm on Saturday night inside the Viaero Event Center.
After no scoring in the opening period it took a video review by the officiating crew to confirm a 1-0 lead for the Tri-City Storm. Dan Labosky moved down the right side and took a shot from the bottom of the right wing circle that appeared go to hit a bar and stay out of the net. After further review, it was deemed that the puck went off the inside cross bar and back out. The goal was credited to Dan Labosky for his second goal of the year and Carson Meyer picked up the only assist.
The Lancers responded late in the second period to even the score on a great effort by Jacob Bryson. After taking the puck at the top of the left wing circle, Bryson moved around the defense and in below the goal line to the right of Tri-City's net. Mitch Perrault waited in front of the net, took the pass from Bryson, and sent a wrist shot by goaltender Jake Kielly for tie the game 1-1. The goal was Perrault's second of the year with the lone assist to Bryson at 18:05 of the second frame.
Omaha took their only lead of the night midway through the third period. Jacob Bryson sent a cross-ice pass at the blue line to Michael Joyaux on the right point position. Joyaux fired a shot through traffic that was denied by Jake Kielly but the rebound popped out in front of him. Brian Williams sent the rebound through the legs of Kielly for a 2-1 lead on his first goal of the season. Assists on the goal came from Bryson and Joyaux at the 9:16 mark. The assist was Bryson's second of the game.
With the Storm net empty, Nathan Krusko sealed the game scoring an empty-net goal with under one second remaining in the game. The goal was Krusko's third of the year and second against the Tri-City Storm with the only assist to Matt Meier. Lancers' goaltender Kris Oldham recorded his third win of the season with a 26-save performance.
The Omaha Lancers are back home Friday night as they host the Tri-City Storm at 7:05pm for Guns N Hoses Night. The puck drops at 7:05 p.m. inside the Viaero Event Center and fans can listen live beginning at 6:50 p.m. with the Valpak Pregame Show on "The Mighty" 1290 KOIL, Mighty 1290 KOIL Mobile APP, www.mighty1290koil.com, and FASTHockey.com.
