Niagara IceDogs News Release


The Niagara IceDogs were edged 4-1 by the Erie Otters Wednesday night in their first of three games taking place this weekend.

Ryan Strome continued to showcase his elite skill as he made an exceptional individual effort to pick up his 29th goal of the season at the 8:38 mark of the first period to make it 1-0 IceDogs.

Anthony Luciani tied the game up just 1:35 into the second period as he continued to find success while playing against the 'Dogs.

The game would remain tied until the 1:22 mark of the third period as San Jose Sharks draft pick Phil Varone notched his 20th of the season, before Brett Thompson followed up at the 15:18 mark to give the Otters three unanswered goals.

Niagara would attempt to pull Mark Visentin during the final minutes in efforts to tie the game, but Greg McKegg capitalized on the empty net to give the Otters a 4-1 victory in front of their home crowd.

The IceDogs will get right back at it tomorrow night as they host the Sudbury Wolves at 7 p.m.

Tickets for this game as well as Saturday's home game against the Sarnia Sting are still available and can be purchased at any IceDogs ticketing location.
