Flint, MI- Special teams proved to the be the difference Friday night in Flint, as the Generals went 2 for 8 on the power-play, while Kalamazoo struggled going 0 for 5 in a 2-1 lost.

Travel problems caused due to bad weather caused a 15 minute delay to the opening face-off. While Flint out shot Kalamazoo 10-8 in the first, neither team benefited from the delay, as the team's finished the period scoreless.

Registering on the scoreboard first, John Miller (3rd) gave Kalamazoo a 1-0 lead, scoring on a slap shot for the slot 8:05 into the second period.

Four minutes later, Flint knotted the contest at 1-1, as Jordan Fox (21st) capitalized on a 5-on-3 power-play marker.

The league's top power-play unit struck again moments later, this time it was Jason Cirone (17th) lighting the lamp on the man-advantage to give the Generals a 2-1 lead.

Just like the opening period, neither team could solve the others netminder and Flint hung on to a 2-1 victory.
