Albany Devils News Release
GLENS FALLS, N.Y. - Greg Moore scored the game-winning goal with 3:54 remaining in regulation to give the Adirondack Phantoms a 2-1 victory against the Albany Devils Saturday at the Glens Fall Civic Center. The game was the fourth of the Time Warner Cable Cup series, which is tied 2-2 with eight games still remaining.
Moore's goal came when a bouncing puck defected off Jeff Frazee's body and landed in the goal crease where he chipped in his second game-winning goal of the season.
The loss moves the Devils' record to 13-18-0-2, while the Phantoms improve to 9-25-2-0.
For Albany, Michael Swift extended his point streak to seven games and increased his season total to 18 points, including a team-high tying 11 goals. He now was five goals and three assists during his stretch and seven goals and four assists in the last 11 games.
The physicality of the first period set the tone for the game. There were two fights, including Dan Kelly landing a knockout blow on Marc-Andre Bourbon. Then late in the period Danny Syvret obstructed J.S. Berube into the end boards and was called for interference.
The penalty carried over into the second and Swift found the back of the net. His rebound goal from the left face-off circle was setup by Chad Wiseman and Matt Anderson and came 32 seconds into the period. The assists extended Wiseman's point streak to four games, while Anderson's goes to three games.
Adirondack responded moments later when Eric Wellwood found Michael Ryan for a back-door goal at 5:18.
Frazee, playing in his 22nd game of the season and fourth against the Phantoms, made 31 saves on 33 shots. He is now 9-10-2-2 on the season. At the other end, Brian Stewart made 18 stops on 19 tries.
The Devils will be back at it tomorrow as Syracuse comes to the Times Union Center for a 4 p.m. contest. Tickets can be purchased at the TUC box office or at any Ticketmaster outlet. Fans can also buy tickets via charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000 or by visiting Ticketmaster.com.
