Wheeling Nailers News Release
READING, PA - In a game highlighted by outstanding goaltending, the Wheeling Nailers fell to the Reading Royals 2-1 in a shootout Sunday at the Sovereign Center. Wheeling earned a single point in their fifth overtime game of the year and first away from home.
After a scoreless first period, in which the Nailers doubled the Royals' shots 12-6, Jon Snowden converted a rebound at 8:40 of the second. Jon Francisco's slapshot from just inside the blue line created a rebound in the slot that found its way onto the stick of Snowden.
For the second night in a row, the Nailers were awarded a penalty shot at 14:47 of the middle period. As Wheeling crashed the net with shot after shot on Jeff Pietrasiak the puck sat in the crease. Jason Becker picked the puck up in his hand and threw it to safety. The referee alertly signaled for a penalty shot.
With a choice of the five players on the ice to take the shot, Glenn Patrick elected Jordan Cameron. Cameron undressed Pietrasiak and tied the score at one. It was Cameron's 21st goal of the season.
Despite plenty of opportunities for both teams it remained tied through regulation and overtime.
The first two shooters missed for each team in the shootout. Jon Francisco converted the third shot for the Royals, snapping a streak of 11 straight saves by Andy Franck in shootouts. After Cameron was stopped, Shawn Collymore scored to give Reading the 2-0 advantage. Pietrasiak made the stop on Adam Edinger to end the game.
The Nailers next game is Friday, February 23 vs. Johnstown at WesBanco Arena.
Tickets are available now by calling 304-234-GOAL, by visiting the Nailers team store located at 1315 Main St. in downtown Wheeling or online at www.WheelingNailers.com.
