After a disappointing six-goal loss on Saturday, this afternoon’s sport had the makings of a letdown by two intervals. Tahoe scored two shorthanded objectives and took a 3-0 lead heading into the third.
With its season within the steadiness, Fast Metropolis responded to adversity in an enormous approach within the closing interval. Holden Wale and Luke Mylymok scored simply 30 seconds aside to chop Tahoe’s result in 3-2 with quarter-hour remaining. Blake Bennett cashed in on a rebound to once more trim the deficit to 4-3. Then, with Connor Murphy on the bench within the closing 29 seconds, Billy Constantinou sniped a wrist shot from the correct circle to miraculously tie the sport.
Extra time ended with just one participant having touched the puck. Trevor Janicke received the opening faceoff ahead to himself, stepped in throughout the Knight Monsters line, then wired a wrist shot behind Jordan Papirny to win the sport simply six seconds into the interval.
In a season of dramatic video games, this one took the cake for the Rush, who returned to .500 with the win and ensured the staff wouldn’t go away Nevada empty-handed. Remarkably, It was Fast Metropolis’s first win exterior the Mountain Time Zone this yr.
Connor Murphy made 37 saves on 41 pictures to earn his ninth win of the season. Jordan Papirny, who had stopped greater than 60 consecutive Rush pictures at one level, took the loss. Tahoe outshot Fast Metropolis, 41-40.
The Rush returns to South Dakota for a six-game homestand having received 12 of the final 15 video games.
Subsequent sport: Thursday, March 13 vs. Iowa. 7:05 p.m. MDT puck drop from The Monument Ice Area.
