Scarecrows Rally, But Fall Short 4-3

Topeka Scarecrows News Release


The Scarecrows entered Saturday night on their first losing streak in history and were looking for an opportunity to come out stronger after a 3-0 loss on Friday night in their first matchup with the Prowlers.

Topeka found the board early tonight as just 4:43 into the game with Brett Lockhart and Austin Fetterly in the box giving the Scarecrows a 5 on 3 power play a puck jumped out in front of the net and Avery Smith leaped into the air to knock it down and shovel it into the net. Though at first it took a review the referees confirmed it touched Avery's stick and gave Topeka the 1-0 lead. With less than a minute to go in the period and once again on a 5 on 3 power play Topeka lit the lamp again as Elijah Wilson took a big wind up and slapped one past Reid Cooper for the 2-0 lead.

The Prowlers came out in the period of the long change and kept attacking. Their head coach/gm/player Matt Graham found a way to beat Daniil Bryzgalov after two other shots left a rebound sitting there for Graham and cut the deficit to 2-1 12:01 into period two. Five minutes later at 17:17 Arttu Heikkila found a chance of his own on a rush play to beat Bryzgalov bar down to tie up the game 2-2 and just 25 seconds later Graham chipped in his second of the night to give Port Huron a 3-2 lead.

It took over half a period but the Scarecrows found the game typing goal 12:37 into the third as Connor Lind jumped into the rush and buried one past Cooper to tie the game at three goals a piece. However the game was decided on a late power 5 on 3 power play as Austin Fetterly beat Bryzgalov for the 4-3 victory.

Topeka returns home next Friday October 31st against the Indiana Sentinels. Get your tickets on Ticketmaster or at the Cable Dahmer Box Office.
