Elmira Jackals News Release


The Jackals artillery absolutely bombarded the net of Maxime Gingras for 60 minutes of intense hockey action at the First Arena Friday night, but despite 42 shots on goal, Elmira could only muster two goals.

The Jackals took the lead 20 seconds into the second period as LW J.F. Boutin charged past the defense and finished past a sprawling Gingras. Seven minutes later David Brosseau equalized, the first of two goals for the Richmond forward. Brosseau scored his second at the fourteen minute mark to put the Riverdogs ahead for the first time in the contest, but the lead would not hold. Rookie Trevor Segstro, scoring his sixth of the season, tipped Anthony Cappelletti's shot from the point past Gingras to tie the game at two.

An intense third period from the Jackals where Elmira out shot Richmond 12-6 failed to produce the game winner and this contest was forced into a shootout. In the extra session Richmond grabbed a 2-0 advantage, but Don Smith roofed his 4th round attempt over a fallen Gingras to keep Elmira alive, but it was not to be; the Jackals feel 3-2 (2-1 in the shootout).

Ryan McIntosh was equally stellar in net for the Jackals, stopping 19 of 21, which Gingras had 40 saves for his 23rd win of the year.

Elmira's weekend triple-header at the First Arena continues Saturday night against Port Huron, face-off at 7 pm.
