Augusta Lynx News Release


The Augusta Lynx outplayed the Gwinnett Gladiators on Tuesday night in Gwinnett, but just couldn't get the breaks as they fell in a shootout, 3-2. From the start of the game, the Lynx kept pace with the Glads and goaltender #35 JP Levasseur was outstanding in goal. However, Gwinnett was propelled by the first four power plays of the game and finally broke through with a goal from Mike Vigalante to take a 1-0 lead. However, the Lynx responded nicely as #18 Igor Pohanka collected a rebound in front and beat goaltender Dan Turple to tie the game at 1-1. #21 Bobby Bolt kept the play alive deep in the Glads zone and got the puck to the point to #15 Eric Lundberg, who's shot was stopped, but picked up by Pohanka for the goal.

Once the Lynx got on their first power play in the 3rd period, they made the Glads pay with another goal from Pohanka, who tapped home a backdoor pass from #20 Matt Auffrey and another assist from Bolt. The lead would not last however thanks to another power play goal from Vigalante to make it 2-2. The Lynx, who outshot Gwinnett 44-37 for the game, had a chance in overtime to win with a 4 on 3 power play, but couldn't convert as the Gladiators won the game on their 6th shooter of the night in the shootout.
