Elmira River Sharks News Release
In an Intradivisional matchup the Prowlers squeaked out the one goal win on Friday night as Elmira looked for a rebound effort to stop the losing skid at 2.
Port Huron wasted no time getting to work on the Sharks as Mitch Jones crept in just 16 seconds in and scored his third of the weekend past Sammy Bernard. The River Sharks responded just before the six-minute mark as Bret Parker broke in on a breakaway and blazed one past Tucker Tynan for the tying goal. Elmira received a power play on a Mitch Jones slash that led to him being ejected and a five-minute major penalty, however it was the Prowlers who found the back of the net as Sam Marit took advantage of a two on one on the penalty kill to make it 2-1.
Neither team found the back of the net in the second, but much like the night before Port Huron went back on the attack in the third period. In almost a Deja vu moment Alex Johnson gave the Prowlers a two-goal lead just 1:59 into the final period of regulation. That is where the similarities stopped as 92 seconds later Evan Foley was able to beat Bernard to make it 4-1 and Dalton Jay sniped Bernard at 14:15 of the period to finish off the onslaught.
Bernard stopped 29 of 34 in the losing effort.
The River Sharks head out on the road for the next four games on the road beginning in Binghamton tomorrow night at 7:00pm. Follow along on Youtube and Mixlr for all the action. #FeartheFin
