Nailers Fall to Monstrous Missiaen, Greenville, 3-0
January 18, 2014 - ECHL (ECHL)
Wheeling Nailers News Release
GREENVILLE, SC- Jason Missiaen spent the first part of the 2013-14 season in the AHL with the Hartford Wolf Pack. On Saturday night, he played in his first ECHL game of the campaign, and turned in a perfect effort for the Greenville Road Warriors. The 6-foot-8 backstop turned away all 40 shots he faced, blanking the Wheeling Nailers, 3-0 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena.
After a scoreless opening period, the Road Warriors started the scoring at the 5:19 mark of the second, while playing on the man advantage. Mike Marcou teed up a shot from the right point, which got blocked in the slot. Todd Hosmer found the loose puck in skates, shifted it to his left, and slid a shot into the left side of the goal. Later in the period, Greenville received a glorious opportunity to extend the lead, as Dustin Stevenson received a major penalty and a game misconduct for boarding. However, Mike Condon stood on his head, making a pile of ten-bell saves, keeping the score 1-0 after two.
Early in the third period, the Road Warriors grabbed an insurance goal. Once again, Marcou began the play, letting a shot go from the right point. Condon made a kick save, but the rebound was bounced into the net by Andrew Rowe, who was crashing into the slot. With 11:36 remaining, Greenville upped its lead to three, when Marc-Olivier Vallerand redirected Sam Klassen's shot from the left point. The Nailers had a pair of power plays in the third, but couldn't dent the twine, as the game finished 3-0.
Jason Missiaen was perfect on 40 shots for the Road Warriors in his first ECHL game of the season, earning the win. Mike Condon stopped 38 of the 41 shots he faced for Wheeling, but suffered the tough luck loss.
The Nailers will continue their six-game road trip on Monday afternoon at 12:30 against the Gwinnett Gladiators. Wheeling's next home game takes place on January 26th, when they host the Cincinnati Cyclones at 3:00.
