El Paso Rhinos News Release
Rhinos welcome the Odessa Jackalopes this weekend as we start a 2-game series. Odessa starts out strong tonight taking the early game momentum by scoring the first goal of the night, courtesy of Cameron Dunn. Odessa continues their aggression with a second goal with just 5 minutes left in the period as we head into intermission leading 2-0 over the Rhinos. Just as quickly as the puck hits the ice for the second period, Rhinos player Camden Bajzer manages to score at a mere 24 seconds, cutting the Jackalopes' lead in half. The score would sit at 2-1 for the next twelve minutes until Noah Marino regains the 2-point lead for the Jackalopes by snagging another goal. Fortunately the Rhinos would clap back with one more goal of their own too end the period at 3-1, Odessa leading. Once more Camden Bajzer gives us an early period goal to tie the game at 3-3 at the start of the third. With the game now kicked into high gear both teams take every opportunity they can get, ending in one more goal for each team; William Marshall for the Jackalopes and Tyler Green for the Rhinos respectively. As the score game to a 4-4 tie at the end of regulation time we would be sent into overtime, and eventually a shootout after no scores in extra time. Odessa's John Perdion took first point in the shootout, followed by 5 consecutive whiffs. As Perdion was the only player to make a shot in shootout, the Jackalopes would take the victory 5-4 over the Rhinos.
