Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies News Release
Trenton, NJ â Rick Kowalsky tallied the game-winning goal at 4:05 of the overtime period with a one-time blast from the left-wing circle to complete the comeback as Trenton tallied four unanswered goals to defeat the Atlantic City Boardwalk Bullies 4-3 before 7048 at Sovereign Bank Arena in ECHL action Saturday. Atlantic City is now winless in their last six road games.
Atlantic City (22-11-6) opened the scoring at 9:16 of the first period with a power play goal from Brett Nowak. Nowak tipped Notermann's rebound sitting on the end-line past Trenton goalie Andrew Allen to give the Bullies a 1-0 lead. Nowak gave the Bullies a 2-0 advantage when he stripped Matt Libby of the puck at the blue line on a Trenton power play, broke in alone on Allen, and beat him above the right shoulder at 14:20 of the period shorthanded. Atlantic City made it 3-0 with their second power play goal of the game. Paul Caponigri set up a streaking Ian Walterson at the right-wing circle and Walterson ripped a shot past Allen at 18:28 on the power play for the tally. Trenton (20-11-5) would counter 1:07 after the Walterson goal to break onto the scoreboard. Paul Brown played the puck across to the left-wing circle to an open Matt Libby and Libby beat Bullies goaltender Jake Moreland to the near side post at 19:35 to cut the Titans deficit to 3-1 heading into the first intermission.
Trenton would pull even with a pair of goals in the second frame. On the power play, Connor Dunlop's pass across the slot deflected off Ian Walterson's skate and into the net at 5:13 to bring the Titans back to within one at 3-2. Leon Hayward netted the equalizer at 9:50 of the period, tipping the loose puck in front of Moreland past the Bullies net-minder to tie the game 3-3.
Trenton out-shot Atlantic City 30-21. Moreland made 27 saves in falling to 20-7-5 on the season. The Bullies went 2-7 on the power play.
