JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Savannah Ghost Pirates, proud ECHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers, defeated the Jacksonville Icemen 3-2 on Friday evening to snap their losing streak.
Savannah opened the scoring just 1:53 into the game when Ryan Sullivan one-timed a shot from the slot on the power play to make it 1-0. Cristophe Tellier and Eamon Powell recorded the assists on the goal.
The Ghost Pirates extended their lead with 7:20 remaining in the first period when Reece Vitelli tipped in a pass from Nicholas Zabaneh with the extra attacker on to make it 2-0. Noah Carroll earned the secondary assist.
Jacksonville got on the board with 1:17 remaining in the second period as Craig Martin fired a shot from the right side to cut the deficit to 2-1. Peter Tischke and Garrett Van Wyhe assisted on the goal, which stood as the lone tally of the period.
Savannah regained its two-goal cushion just 1:02 into the third period on another power-play goal, as Bryce Brodzinski ripped a shot from the slot into the top-right corner to make it 3-1.
The Icemen pulled within one after a fortunate bounce off the end boards kicked the puck to the center of the ice, where Nathan Dunkley capitalized to make it 3-2.
