ELMIRA, NY -
For the third consecutive game the Jackals overcame a third period
deficit and defeated the Evansville Icemen 4-2 on the back of three
goals in the final 20 minutes.
Former
Jackal Troy Rutkowski opened the scoring at 14:57 of the first period
with a shot from the point on the power-play that went through a screen
and past Sam Marotta for his first goal of the season. Andre
Bouvet-Morrissette and Kale Kerbashian recorded the assists on
Rutkowski's tally. The Jackals climbed back in the final two minutes of
the opening period and tied the game going into the break courtesy of
Ryan Rashid's first goal of the season. Patch Alber forced the turnover
at Evansville's blueline and Rashid was able to pick up the rebound and
deposit it past Chris Driedger at 18:10 of the first period.
Marotta
stopped 17 of 19 shots faced for his second win of the season and
Driedger turned aside 27 of 31 shots faced but was handed the loss. The
Jackals went 0-for-5 on the power-play and Evansville went 2-for-5 with
the man advantage.
