LATE GOAL PROPELS WALLEYE PAST K-WINGS

Toledo Defeats Kalamazoo 3-2

Kalamazoo, MI- A late goal from Phil Rauch (1^st) was enough to move the Toledo Walleye (11-7-0-1) into first place in the North Division with a 3-2 victory over the Kalamazoo Wings (9-9-0-0) Sunday afternoon at Wings Stadium.

In a game featuring the two least penalized teams in the ECHL, it was ironic that first goal of the game occurred on a power-play. Working the puck from behind the net, John Armstrong sent a crisp pass to the tape of Kory Karlander (4^th), who rifled a wrister 7:56 into the contest. Armstrong and Karlander each extended their point streaks to four games, while Mitch Versteeg, who earned a secondary assist, pushed his point streak to three games.

Crashing the net early in the second period, Toledo evened the game at 2-2 with a rebound tally from Phil Oreskovic (1^st). Racing in from the left point, Oreskovic was able to lift his stick on the initial shot from Terry Broadhurst 5:11 into the period.

With a slap shot from the left circle, Max Campbell (5^th) gave the Walleye their first lead of the game 2:22 into the third period.

Bouncing back two and half minutes later, John Negrin (1^st) netted the equalizer from a behind the net feed from Karlander.

After a K-Wings scoring chance ended with a broken stick from Elgin Reid, Rauch split the defense to record the game-winner.
