Levtchi, Lyon Lead Charlotte to Lopsided Win
November 18, 2022 - American Hockey League (AHL)
Charlotte Checkers News Release
Propelled by huge nights from Anton Levtchi and Alex Lyon, the Checkers went into Bridgeport and came away with a decisive 4-1 victory over the Islanders.
Levtchi kept his hot streak going and proved to be a driving force for Charlotte, factoring into three of the visitors' four tallies. The Finnish forward combined with Lucas Carlsson to set up a breakaway opportunity for Chris Tierney to bury just 27 seconds into the game, then finished off a tic-tac-toe play that bamboozled the Bridgeport defense and extended his squad's advantage minutes later.
SCORE SHEET
The Islanders broke through midway through the first, but Levtchi pushed the Checkers back ahead by a pair in the second courtesy of a quick wrister on the rush.
That would prove to be more than enough for the Checkers, as Alex Lyon slammed the door on the other end of the ice. The Islanders pumped rubber on the Charlotte net throughout the night but Lyon was up to the task, amassing a staggering 38 saves en route to a big road win.
