Rapid City Rush News Release
(Laredo, TX) - Friday night, the Rapid City Rush fell to the Laredo Bucks by a 5-2 score. Bucks veteran forward Jeff Bes collected his 1,000th career point with an assist in the second period. The two teams faceoff again tomorrow night at 6:30pm MST.
The Rush found themselves in a hole early as the Bucks found the back of the net twice, including a goal just 1:20 into the contest. Scoring the game's first goal was Chris Korchinski who followed his own shot for a rebound that was backhanded past the blocker of Rush goaltender Jimmy Spratt. The Bucks then converted on their first powerplay of the game at the 9:47 mark on a centering attempt than deflected off of a skate and in that was credited to Addison DeBoer.
Laredo would keep the pressure coming in the second period, burying a pair of goals to double the lead. Neil Trimm collected the second powerplay goal of the night for the Bucks on a rebound from the right side of the crease. Daniel Koger would then get his league-leading eighth goal of the season at 10:38 of the period to extend the lead to 4-0. Korchinski assisted on the play as well as nineteen-year veteran Jeff Bes who collected his 1,000th career point.
The Rush would stop the bleeding in the third period while on the powerplay. Scott Kalinchuk fired a shot that was deflected by Derek LeBlanc past Bucks goaltender Torrie Jung to make it a 4-1 game 5:02 into the 3rd. However the Bucks would regain the four-goal lead with another powerplay goal from DeBoer, this one coming at the 13:53 mark of the final stanza. Finally, with three seconds left in the game, Colt King slammed home his third goal of the season to make it a 5-2 final.
The Rush ended the night 2-for-5 on the powerplay while the Bucks finished an impressive 3-for-4 on the man-advantage. Laredo's Torrie Jung made 36 saves to collect his 3rd win of the season for the Bucks while Jimmy Spratt was dealt his second loss.
