Otters Offence Too Much for IceDogs
October 22, 2014 - Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
Niagara IceDogs News Release
The Erie Otters high-powered offence was too much for the Niagara IceDogs to handle as they fell 8-4 Wednesday night at the First Niagara Centre in Buffalo.
The first period featured a flurry of goals from both teams. Jordan Maletta and Cody Payne scored for the IceDogs, while Alex DeBrincat and Kurtis MacDermid each scored a pair for the Otters to give Erie a 4-2 lead after one.
The Otters struck twice more in the second thanks to goals from Patrick Murphy and Troy Donnay. After Murphy's goal at the 12:51 mark, IceDogs goaltender Brent Moran made way for Buffalo native Stephen Dhillon. Moran made 19 saves before being pulled.
Graham Knott made it 6-3 when he finished off a beautiful passing play early in the third period, but Connor McDavid answered right back for the Otters at 4:32 to make it 7-3. Shaun Bily and Maletta exchanged goals for good measure, but the IceDogs couldn't mount the comeback.
They're back in action tomorrow night as they host the Kingston Frontenacs at the Meridian Centre.
