Victoria Salmon Kings News Release


Game #3 of a 3-game series vs Fresno Falcons

Sunday, November 12, 2006 - 1:05 p.m. (PT)

LAST GAME:

The Fresno Falcons came back with a vengeance after they suffered a 6-3 loss in game one of the series, and sunk the Salmon Kings 5-2 in game two. The Salmon Kings outscored the Falcons in the third period, however the deficit was too deep to dig out of and Fresno earned their seventh win of the season.

Three straight powerplay goals was the difference-scored by Brady Leisenring, Tyler Kindle, and John Wroblewski-as Fresno had a 4-0 lead with under nine minutes left in the game.

David Wrigley and Adam Taylor scored on Goaltender Ryan MacDonald, who replaced an injured Scott Stirling halfway through the third. MacDonald had made 17 saves before leaving the game. An empty-netter by Luke Curtin solidified the victory.

5-2 Falcons.
