Winston-Salem Polar Twins News Release


[WINSTON-SALEM, N.C.] – John Gurskis had a goal and two assists to lead the Macon Trax to a 5-2 win over the Winston-Salem Polar Twins Friday night at Joel Coliseum Annex in Southern Professional Hockey League action.

Edan Welch got the Trax on the board at the 8:26 mark of the first period. The Polar Twins batted around a loose puck in their own zone but could not gain control, allowing Welch to wrist home a shot past Jomar Cruz for the 1-0 Macon lead.

The score would stay that way until 8:58 of the second when Steve Zoryk made it 2-0 Macon. Winston-Salem left the Trax's leading scorer alone on the left post where John Gurskis connected with Zoryk for the one-timer and Zoryk's 26th goal of the season.

David Deeves gave Macon the three goal lead at 10:02 of the second with his 22nd goal of the season. Alone in the high slot, Deeves drilled a shot through a screen to beat Cruz for a 3-0 game.

Craig Miller would add one more for the Trax before the end of the period to give Macon a solid 4-0 lead heading into the third period.

Trevor Jobe pulled the Twins within three with his fifth goal of the season at 6:07 of the third but Macon got the goal back just 19 seconds later, Guskis' 20th goal of the season, for a 5-1 game.

Shaun Aebig would add one more for the Polar Twins but the score would stand at 5-2 for the sixth straight loss by the Twins.

The Polar Twins finish out their four-game home stand tomorrow night when the Fayetteville FireAntz make their final visit to LJVM Annex this season. The game is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m.
