BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - The Sound Tigers five-game winning streak came to a halt as they fell to the Springfield Falcons 5-3 on Sunday afternoon at Webster Bank Arena.
Kael Mouillierat tied the game 3-3 with 4:22 left in the third period but the Falcons notched two power play goals, including one with an empty net, for a 5-3 victory.
Chis Langkow tallied the first goal of the game as he buried the puck off the rebound from Scooter Vaughan's shot - Vaughan and Brett Gallant picked up helpers on the play. Springfield defenseman Thomas Larkin tied the game 1-1 with a power play wrist shot that found the back of the Sound Tigers net at 10:03 of the opening period.
The Falcons took a 2-1 lead at 11:53 of the second frame with another power play goal from Lukas Sedlak. They extended their lead to 3-1 with a goal from left-winger Dana Tyrell. Kevin Poulin had the initial block on a shot from Springfield defenseman Mike Cornell but left-winger Dana Tyrell was there to redirect the deflected shot.
Down 3-1 at the start of the third frame Ryan Pulock scored a power play goal 35 seconds into the period to make the score 3-2. Mouillierat's third period goal tied that game 3-3 - Alan Quine and Colin McDonald tallied assists on the tying goal.
With 1:36 left in the final period, Johan Sundstrom and Colton Gillies received minor penalties putting the Sound Tigers on a five-on-three penalty kill where Kerby Rychel scored to put the Falcons up 4-3.
Poulin skated off the ice with 58.8 seconds left in the game to give Bridgeport five skaters on the ice but a Sound Tigers turnover in the neutral zone led to an empty net goal from Tyrell.
The teams accumulated a combined 206 penalties as the final minute was fight filled, including a line brawl that broke out with 15 seconds remaining in the game.
