Watertown Wolves News Release
Watertown, NY - For the fourth time this season, the Wolves hosted the HC Venom in the Watertown Municipal Arena. Watertown, having one 2 of the first 3 games, would look to add another win in the season battle.
It would only take to the 1:03 mark of the first period for the Wolves newest goal scoring threat, Steven Klinck to get his first Wolves goal, wristing a shot over the blocker of John Moriarty, giving the Wolves the early edge. Trevor Neumann and Tate Leeson get the helpers on the goal.
At 18:55 of the frame, Trevor Lord picked up a short handed goal, catching Moriarty out of position and extending the Wolves lead to 2-0. Andrew Whalen and Bryce Dirscherl got the assists on the goal.
Watertown held on to take the 2-0 lead to the room despite being outshot by the Venom 20-9 in the first.
The second period found both teams taking some ill advised penalties, but neither team could take advantage with the extra skater, and the second twenty minutes was a scoreless affair. Watertown outshot the Venom 21-9 in the second, making the shot total 30-29 in favor of Watertown.
:37 into the third, Marian Pazitka puts the Venom on the board beating Eloi Bouchard off a feed from Lester Brown and Dustin Jesseau, making it 2-1 early in the period.
At the 3:06 mark, Kyle Powell ignited the home crowd as he made his homecoming a little more exciting as he scored his first of the season, assisted by Trevor Lord.
Trevor Grasby would lengthen the Wolves lead at the 11:25 Mark assisted by Lord and Davide Gaeta making the score 4-1.
The Wolves hold on to win by that score while just outshooting the Venom 41-40 for the game.
The teams will square off again on Saturday evening with the puck drop slated for 7:00, again in Watertown.
