Arizona Sundogs News Release
The Arizona Sundogs traveled to Broomfield, Colorado this past weekend to face fellow expansion club the Rocky Mountain Rage for a two-game series. The Rage would tally eight goals in the first night's contest despite being outshot in the contest 35-32 to end their nine game losing streak and grab their first win against the Sundogs this season 8-4. Rocky Mountain 's Dominic Noel scored four goals on the night matching his season total.
In the second game of the weekend series the Rage would
skate past the Sundogs 3-0. In an effort to rebound from Saturday night's loss the Sundogs would come out firing outshooting the Rage 15-10 in the first period but would be unable to match the goaltending of Rage goaltender David Guerrera.
The Sundogs' Ryan Steeves would score what would seem to be the game's first goal batting it out of mid air past Rage netminder David Guerrera at the 6:36 mark. The goal however would be waived off by Referee Kris Schoech for a high stick. At 18:36 of the period the Rocky Mountain Rage would take the first lead of the game on an unassisted goal by Matic Kralj. Arizona would outshoot Rocky Mountain 15-10 in the period.
Trevor Weisgerber would push the puck past Arizona netminder Kevin Couture at the 4:08 mark to take a 2-0 lead. At the 14:14 mark, Adam Stefishen would be tagged with a 10-minute game misconduct and a 10-minute attempt to injure penalty but the Sundogs would be unable to convert on the extended man advantage.
The Rage's third goal would come at the 19:26 mark as Dominic Noel would find an empty net. The goal would be his fifth in two days against the Sundogs.
