BILOXI, MS - Radek Smolenak scored with four seconds remaining in the third period to tie the game at five and then scored the deciding goal in the shootout as the Mississippi Sea Wolves downed the Augusta Lynx 6-5 in a shootout at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum on Friday night.
The Sea Wolves got on the board first when Pat Oliveto fired a wrist shot from the right point through traffic at the 1:02 mark of the first period. Augusta answered just two minutes later when Louis Goulet banged home a rebound of a shot from Adrian Veideman past Sea Wolves goaltender Ryan Munce at 3:08 of the first. Mississippi took a 2-1 lead into the locker room after Gio Flamminio's wrist shot beat Marsters through traffic at 16:21.
