Rampage Drop 4-2 Decision to Monsters

March 13, 2016 - American Hockey League (AHL)
San Antonio Rampage News Release


SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Rampage (24-31-8-0) wrapped up a five-game homestand with a 4-2 loss to the Lake Erie Monsters (32-19-5-5) in front of 8,222 at the AT&T Center on Sunday. Garry Nunn tallied a goal and an assist to earn the Second Star of the Game.

The Monsters got on the board first, as Daniel Zaar's no-look pass landed on the tape of Lukas Sedlak, who beat Reto Berra to make it 1-0 at 8:56. Josh Anderson extended Lake Erie's lead to two with time winding down in the period, collecting a pass from Markus Hannikainen and wristing a shot just under the crossbar with 24 seconds remaining in the opening period.

Early in the second period, Sonny Milano sent a cross-crease pass to Oliver Bjorkstrand, who tapped the puck past Berra to make it 3-0, but the Rampage answered with Brandon Gormley's second of the season, a shorthanded tally at 7:36 to make it 3-1 in favor of the Monsters.

T.J. Tynan's marker at 12:43 of the frame gave the visiting team a 4-1 lead and prompted a change in goal, as Roman Will entered the game to replace Berra. Just over a minute later, Garry Nunn recorded his first goal of the season - and his first AHL marker - to cut San Antonio's deficit to two heading into the second intermission.

The Silver and Black came out strong in the final frame, putting 16 shots on net and outshooting the Monsters 16-7 in the period, but were unable to light the lamp, falling 4-2.

San Antonio was scoreless on four power-play opportunities while holding the Monsters scoreless on five chances with the man advantage. Will saved all 12 of the shots he faced in relief of Berra, who made 17 saves on 21 shots.

Notes

Garry Nunn, who was signed to a professional tryout contract on Tuesday, has contributed at least one point in each of his first three games in a Rampage uniform. His second-period tally marked his first AHL goal.

Lineup Notes

Joey Hishon returned to the lineup after missing two games with an injury and skated on San Antonio's second line, centering Andrew Agozzino and Reid Petryk. Reto Berra made his seventh start in net.

Up Next

The Rampage hit the road for two games against the San Diego Gulls and the Ontario Reign on Wednesday and Friday, respectively. San Antonio returns home to take on the Grand Rapids Griffins on Sunday, March 20 at 4 p.m., which will be the ninth annual Pucks & Paws game, presented by Raising Cane's.
