DULUTH, GA – The Evansville IceMen jumped out to a 2-0 first period lead Saturday at Infinite Energy Arena, then saw that lead evaporate. Facing adversity in the third period, the IceMen rallied from a 3-2 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Gladiators 4-3 to in Evansville’s second straight win to start a six-game road trip.
The IceMen killed off two first period penalties and Christoffer Bengtsberg stopped all 15 Atlanta shots. Evansville took the lead with 4:54 left in the frame when aVincent Dunn forecheck forced a Gladiators turnover allowing Nathan Moon to rip a shot past Atlanta goalie Matt Ginn. The IceMen made it 2-0, when Sebastian Strandberg beat Ginn on a breakaway with 1:38 left in the period.
Everything went Atlanta’s way in the second period, as Derek Nesbitt padded his league lead with his 21st and 22nd goals of the season to tie the game 2-2. On the first goal, Nesbitt tipped a shot from Matt Register past Bengtsberg 1:44 into the frame. Then on one the Gladiators three power plays in the period, Nesbitt finished off a centering pass from Thomas Frazee to even the score.
1:03 after the game-tying goal, Tyler Murovich gave Atlanta the lead when he banked in a shot off of Bengtsberg from beneath the goal line. The Gladiators outshot the IceMen 19-12 in the period, and held a 34-20 advantage through 40 minutes.
Cue the comeback. Evansville outshot Atlanta 13-3 in the final stanza and broke through when Jordan Sims fired a rebound past Ginn to tie the game at 3-3. Less than a minute later, Jonathan Carlsson snuck a wrist shot from the right wing wall through a screen and over Ginn’s glove for his first ECHL goal since March 2010. The goal stood as the game-winner, as the IceMen blocked several shots in the final minute to preserve the 4-3 win.
The IceMen next travel to Independence, MO for a Tuesday night showdown with the Missouri Mavericks at 7:05pm. Evansville then travels to Wichita Wednesday for a 7:05pm tilt with the Thunder. After a brief stop home for a day off, the IceMen finish off the nine-day road trip with two games next weekend against the Indy Fuel.
