Elmira Jackals News Release
Elmira, NY - Lead by the play of Greg Koehler, Trevor Burgess and Greg Hewitt the Jackals stayed on top of the East Division with a 3-1 win over Motor City Saturday night at the First Arena.
Koehler, the UHL's leading scorer got things going in the first period as he scored at 13:09 from Tom Clayton to make it a 1-0 Jackals led.
In the second frame Ryan Baker equalized with his first goal for the Mechanics at 6:55, assisted by Chad Peck and Brad Cruikshank. But the level scoreline would not last for long. On the power play, captain Trevor Burgess ripped a shot from the blue line that hit goalie Mike Fountain but somehow found its way into the net, the eventual game-winning goal, assisted by George Pujacs and Jeff Antonovich. With just 64 seconds remaining in the period, Koehler scored his 14th goal of the season, beating Fountain in highlight-reel fashion, for a 3-1 score.
At the buzzer of the third period, a scrum broke out near the Motor City bench, leading to 9 penalties combining for 58 minutes at the 20:00 mark.
Hewitt shined in net, making 32 saves on 33 Motor City shots to record his League Leading 8th win of the season. Fountain went to 0-2-0 against Elmira this season, stopping 34-of-37 in the loss.
The Jackals finish off the week against the second place Danbury Trashers Sunday afternoon in Connecticut. They will return home next Thursday, November 18th for a 10 am morning game against Adirondack.
