San Antonio Rampage News Release


SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Rampage (35-20-5-1) topped the Lake Erie Monsters (27-25-5-3) 5-2 in front of 7,862 fans and dogs at the AT&T Center on Pucks & Paws Night Saturday. Four different players recorded multi-point games, led by Dany Heatley's two goals.

Wade Megan scored a shorthanded goal midway through the first period to get the Rampage on the board. Megan got ahead of the defense and wristed the puck through the five hole of Calvin Pickard for the tally.

Heatley converted off a pass from Connor Brickley to put the Rampage up 2-0 late in the frame, and Blake Parlett scored a wraparound goal on the power play to give San Antonio a 3-0 lead heading into the first intermission.

Garrett Wilson extended San Antonio's lead to four when his shot off the faceoff beat Pickard, but the Monsters answered with a goal from Andrew Agozzino just 44 seconds later to make it 4-1 at the end of the second frame.

Heatley buried an empty-netter at 14:50 of the final period, and Michael Schumacher punched in a rebound to account for the final 5-2 score.

San Antonio held the Monsters scoreless on eight power-play opportunities while scoring one power-play goal on five chances with the man advantage. Michael Houser made 21 saves on 23 shots.

KEY STAT

Heatley's first-period goal marked his 800th professional point, 791 of which have come in his 869 NHL games.

The Rampage held the Monsters to just one shot on goal in the first period, which sets a new franchise record for fewest shots against in a period.

LINEUP NOTES

There were significant shifts to the Rampage lineup after Friday's 4-0 loss to the Monsters. Mark Mancari played on the top line with Garrett Wilson and Brett Olson while Bobby Butler, who has been linemates with Wilson all season, skated on the second line with John McFarland and Megan.

Rocco Grimaldi returned to the lineup after missing three games with an upper-body injury and centered a line with Connor Brickley and Heatley. Logan Shaw and Corban Knight were healthy scratches.

UP NEXT

The Rampage will host the Charlotte Checkers on Tuesday, March 17 at 7 p.m. at the AT&T Center. The team will wear special St. Patrick's Day-themed jerseys that will be auctioned off following Saturday night's game against the Hamilton Bulldogs. Individual and season tickets can be purchased by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.
