Bridgeport, CT -- Greg Moore scored the game winning goal 2:10 into overtime and Scott Munroe made 28 saves as the Bridgeport Sound Tigers defeated the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, 2-1, Saturday night at the Arena at Harbor Yard. The win snapped the Sound Tigers four game losing streak, improving their record to 5-4-0-0 on the year.
The Penguins grabbed an early lead on Mark Letestu's second goal of the year with 6:29 left in the first period. Tim Wallace skated into the offensive zone and slid the puck cross-ice to Letestu who fired a wrist shot from the left face-off circle that found its way past Munroe.
Wilkes-Barre's 1-0 lead held into the third period when Romano finally put the Sound Tigers on the scoreboard for the first time in three games at the 7:04 mark. Trevor Smith created a turnover at the Penguins blue-line and sent a pass to Romano in the slot. Romano moved in and snapped a shot high over Brad Theissen for his first goal as a Sound Tiger. The marker ended a streak of 173:44 without a goal for Bridgeport.
Moore's game-winner came with the Sound Tigers on a 4-on-3 power-play in the extra session. Mark Katic gave Moore a pass on the left side and Moore moved in and backhanded the puck into the top of the net to give the Sound Tigers the victory.
The Sound Tigers are back in action Sunday afternoon when they host the Albany River Rats at 4:00 pm. The Sound Tigers will be celebrating an early Halloween and fans are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes to the game.
