Erie Otters News Release


The Erie Otters (9-14-1-0) couldn't find much against the Oshawa Generals, who dominated from start to finish as they grabbed a 10-3 decision over Erie Friday night at General Motors Centre.

The Generals took control of the game early as Alain Berger scored 2:13 into the contest. Christian Thomas, who missed the first meeting between the two teams on October 30, scored shorthanded at 6:53 and Lucas Lessio added the third tally of the period at 11:54 that chased Ramis Sadikov out of the net for Chris Festarini. Oshawa outshot Erie, 13-7, in the first 20 minutes.

The second period was much of the same, as Oshawa tacked on four throughout the middle frame that included a pair of power play goals and another shorthanded marker. Anthony Luciani scored the only goal for the Otters in the period at 11:55 after the conclusion of a power play as he roofed it under the crossbar for his fifth of the season.

The Otters made things a little interesting in the third period as Greg McKegg ripped a shot off the post for his team-leading 14th goal of the season at 6:12 and Luciani added his second tally on the power play at 11:21 to make it a 7-3 contest, but the Generals rallied for three more goals as Thomas completed his hat trick.

The ten goals were the most given up by Erie since they lost 10-5 in Niagara on March 2, 2008. The seven-goal losing margin was the most since Erie fell to London, 8-1, on December 14, 2007. Thomas was sensational for the Generals, with a six point night.

The Otters complete their road trip Saturday night in Barrie as they faceoff against the Colts at 7:30 p.m.. Fans can listen to the game live on Fox Sports Radio AM 1330 The Fan or online at ottershockey.com (courtesy of the James H. Cross Company).
