DUBUQUE, IA - The Muskegon Lumberjacks fell behind 3-0 after one period, but earned a point in a 6-5 loss in preseason action against the Dubuque Fighting Saints at Mystique Ice Center Friday.

Dubuque scored three unanswered goals in the first, outshooting Muskegon 9-7 in the frame. Muskegon's starting goaltender Christian Stoever struggled in the period, stopping only six of the nine shots he faced. However, he would keep Muskegon in the game from there.

In the second, the Jacks clawed their way back in the game, getting an early goal from Danil Gushchin just 33 seconds into the period.

Dubuque would regain their three-goal lead 8:18 into the second when PJ Fletcher scored his first of the preseason.

Muskegon then rallied, scoring three consecutive goals in a six-minute span. Dylan Wendt, Davis Pennington, and Tanner Kelly scored for the Jacks to tie the score at four after two periods.

In the third, Dubuque took the lead at the 8:40 mark of the frame, but Muskegon immediately answered less than a minute later when Wendt scored his second of the night. Cameron Berg collected his third assist of the night on the play.

Henry Thrun lit the lamp in overtime to lift Dubuque to the 6-5 OT win.

Stoever stopped 29 of 35 Dubuque shots in the overtime loss.

Muskegon and Dubuque will rematch tomorrow night at 7:00pm EST.
