Alaska Aces News Release
ANCHORAGE, AK -Offense was plentiful for the second night in a row for the Alaska Aces as they held off the Idaho Steelheads 5-4 Saturday night at the Sullivan Arena.
Tomasso Traversa scored twice, including the game winner with 5:12 to go in the game as Alaska finished their first home series with consecutive wins.
Liam Stewart gave the Aces a 1-0 lead with his first goal at 12:03 of the first period.
In the second, Landon Oslanski scored on a one-time bomb on a 5-3 power play, followed at 14:19 by a Justin Breton snipe. Idaho's Andrew Carroll answered quickly at 14:45, and the Aces took a 3-1 lead into the third period.
Jefferson Dahl cut Alaska's lead to 3-2 at 4:22, but Traversa netted a power play goal at 6:17 to restore the two-goal cushion. Emil Molin was quick to cut that to one again with his curl and wrister at 7:13.
A Taylor Peters goal at 13:38 tied the game at four before Traversa's GWG from Gleason Fournier.
Alaska goaltender Steven Summerhays earned his first win with 26 saves. The Aces managed 40 shots for the second night in a row, with Steelheads goalie Eric Hartzell stopping 35 of them.
