Walleye Shut Out K-Wings 8-0 at Wings Stadium

November 13, 2010 - ECHL (ECHL)
Kalamazoo Wings News Release


Kalamazoo, MI- Winless in their last five visits to Wings Stadium, which dates back to last season, the Toledo Walleye took their frustrations out against the Kalamazoo Wings by shutting out the K-Wings 8-0.

Scoring a league-low 19 goals on the season entering the game, the Walleye made amends by striking three times in the first period.

Kyle Page (1st) put Toledo on the board 3:37 into the period with a wrist shot from the blue line. The Walleye extended their lead later in the period with a wrap-around tally from Zack Torquato.

Three minutes after the Walleye's second goal, they added to their total. After receiving a pass, Andy Bohmbach (3rd) split the K-Wings defense and lifted the puck past Ryan Nie.

Toledo's scoring frenzy continued in the second period. With a two-on-one odd man rush, Peter Leblanc's (3rd) initial shot was stopped by Nie, but Leblanc was in perfect position to push in his rebound for his team-leading ninth point of the season.

On a penalty kill in the third period, Nie went behind his net to play the puck, the goaltender sent his pass off of Adam Keefe, who quickly gave it to Bohmbach for his second on the night.

Later in the period, Evan Rankin continued his strangle hold on Kalamazoo. The Portage, Michigan native scored on a deflection.

Sebastien Piche added to the Walleye's lead by tacking on Toledo's seventh goal on the night with a blue line wrister.

With less than a minute remaining, Rankin closed out the scoring with his team-leading fifth goal of the season, all of which have come against Kalamazoo.

Despite a furious scoring effort, the Walleye's top performer was Scott Campbell, who was stellar between the pipes stopping 34 shots to record his first professional shutout to improve his record to 3-2-1-1.
