Pohanka's late goal gives Lynx a 3-2 win over Columbia

January 4, 2008 - ECHL (ECHL)
Augusta Lynx News Release


With two come-from-behind goals in the 3rd period, the Augusta Lynx kicked off 2008 on the right note with a 3-2 win over the visiting Columbia Inferno on Friday night. The Lynx quickly got on the board first as defenseman #5 Ken Scuderi got a pass from #20 Matt Auffrey and raced down the left wing. As he crossed the blueline, Scuderi who hadn't played in the last three games because of an injury, cranked a 55-foot bomb past Jeff Jakaitis for a 1-0 Lynx lead.

However, the lead would not last thanks to some good cycling by the Inferno as Steve McJannet smashed home his 4th goal of the season in front of Lynx goalie #30 Bobby Goepfert to tie the game.

In the 2nd period, new Lynx defenseman #11 Brian Yandle hit the first of what was to be three posts on the night for the Lynx, and Liam Huculak made the Lynx pay with a breakaway goal to make it 2-1 Inferno after two periods. But, the Lynx didn't roll over. An early 3rd period goal by captain #9 Louis Goulet on some great passing by Yandle and #25 Adrian Veideman tied the game at 2-2.

Then with under two minutes remaining in the game, some nice forechecking by #24 Ryan Petz and #21 Bobby Bolt got the puck in the middle of the slot to #18 Igor Pohanka, who sent a wrister right over the left glove of Jakaitis for the game-winning goal.
