Surging Aces Pound Fresno
Sergei Tkachenko stopped 34 of 35 shots
and 6 different Aces scored goals as the Anchorage Aces
pounded the Fresno Falcons 8-1 Tuesday at the Selland
Arena in Fresno, California. Fresno scored the first
goal, but the Aces scored 8 unanswered goals after that
to blow out the South Division leaders.
The win improved the Aces to 14-6-0, and
they move ahead of Colorado for second place in the North
Division. The Aces have won 8 of their last 9, and are
6-1-0 on this 10 game road trip. The loss dropped the
Falcons to 13-6-2, and they remain in first place in the
South Division.
It was the second meeting between the
two teams this road trip. The Aces won the first contest
8-4 and outscored the South Division leading Falcons 16-5
in the two games. The teams play again in Fresno on
Sunday.
Fresno scored their lone goal early in
the first period, it was Rushforth from Mathers at 2:08.
Rowe scored on the power play at 6:28 and Wilcox scored
his seventh of the year at 16:56, and the Aces had a 2-1
lead at the conclusion of the period, despite being
outshot 16-11.
The Aces special teams was once again
spectacular, stopping all 4 Fresno power plays, and
scoring on 2 out of 6 power play chances. On the road
trip, the Aces power play is 13 for 40, and is currently
ranked #1 in the league. The Aces penalty kill has
stopped 39 out of 44 power plays.
It took 18 minutes and 11 seconds for
anyone to score a goal in the second period, but the Aces
finally did. It was Yvan Corbin's 13th of the year at
18:11. Just 46 seconds later, Paul Williams extended the
Aces lead to 3 goals assisted by Keith Street and Corbin.
Fresno appeared to give in during the
third period, and didn't play super hard. This allowed
the Aces to blow it open. Evgeny Kourlin scored his
fourth and fifth goals of the season at 12:15 and 16:15.
Corbin scored his second of the night and fourteenth of
the year at 17:30, and Matt Ruchty scored the Aces final
goal, his third goal as an Ace, on the power play at
19:31. Aces defenseman Wade Brookbank assisted on that
play, and he became the last Ace on the team to score a
point this season.
The Aces travel an hour and a half North
by bus to take on the Bakersfield Condors for the first
time this season Friday and Saturday, before they round
out their road trip Sunday with another meeting with
Fresno.
