Fort Worth Brahmas News Release
The Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs broke open a scoreless game with three unanswered goals in the second period of play and they went on to defeat the Fort Worth Brahmas 4-0 Friday night at the Century-Tel Center.
After a scoreless first period, the Mudbugs got the first goal of the game
when forward Ryan Manitowich shoveled a rebound past Brahmas goaltender
Tyler Nilsson at the 4:43 mark of the second. The 'Bugs then extended
their lead to 2-0 when center Jason Campbell capitalized on a two on one
break when he lifted a glove side shot past Nilsson at the 10:10 mark of
the period. Bossier-Shreveport made it 3-0 when forward Chad Spurr scored
a shorthanded goal into the Brahmas net after Nilsson had fallen down
attempting to play the puck late in the period.
Fort Worth was unable to rally in the third period of play, as the 'Bugs
went up 4-0 ten seconds into the period on d-man Craig Minard's blast from
the left point. The Brahmas averted a shutout when left wing Chad
Woollard scored on a shorthanded breakaway at the 17:40 mark of the
third.
Nilsson was excellent in defeat for the Brahmas, as he stopped 42 of the
46 shots that the Mudbugs sent his way. Bossier-Shreveport goaltender Ken
Carroll turned away 24 of the 25 Brahmas shots he faced to get the
win.
Fort Worth will return home to the Fort Worth Convention Center for two
games this weekend.
