Week In Review

Tuesday, December 20 - Augusta 4 vs. Gwinnett 3

Avenging a 7-1 drubbing last time the two teams faced a week prior, the Lynx rallied for a 4-3 regulation win against arch-nemesis Gwinnett. Anthony Battaglia set up the game tying goal off the stick of Ken Scuderi, his first as a pro, to begin the third period. Battaglia then fought his way through the Gwinnett defense just minutes later, flipping a backhand past Adam Berkhoel for the game-winning goal. The Lynx fell behind 2-0 in the first period before rallying to tie the game at 2-2 on goals by Joel Stepp and Brian Passmore by the end of the first period. Jason Wolfe stopped 33 shots for the win.

Thursday, December 22nd - Augusta 2 @ Charlotte 3

In Augusta's first visit to the Charlotte Bobcats Arena, the club fell behind 3-0 by the 3:13 mark of the second period, but narrowed the gap to 3-2 on goals by BJ Gaustad and Dan Sullivan after 40 minutes of play. Despite pressing a late man-advantage and pulling goaltender Jason Wolfe (18 saves) for an extra attacker late, the Lynx could not tie the game.

'Atta Boy, Langer!

Lynx captain Ryan Lang received a one-game recall to the American Hockey League's Portland Pirates on Friday, appearing in a game that night against the Manchester Monarchs. Lang did not record any points or PIMs in the contest and registered an even rating. Manchester won the game 3-2 in a shootout.
