Disallowed Goals Cost Sea Wolves, 4-2

by Jon Kliment

A day after arriving and dropping the season series to the Prowlers the Sea Wolves look to finally put up a win against their cross division foe. Port Huron gave up a goal early last night but found another gear in the final 25 minutes of the game scoring 5 unanswered. 


In similar fashion to Friday night the Sea Wolves scored first as Ross Bartlett chased down the puck staying out to continue chasing, Bartlett sent a pass to the slot and found Philip Wong who snapped the puck behind Yoshihiro Kuroiwa for a 1-0 lead at 1:01 of the first. 3:41 later Jamie Bucell finished off an overwhelming attack against Mississippi finding a way to put the puck behind Sam Best to tie the game at a goal a piece.

For the second night in a row Port Huron got the best of the second period as Austin Fetterly was able to beat Best on a one timer from Tucker Scantlebury to give the Prowlers a lead heading into the third period of play, 2-1.

In the third period after some confusion and the Sea Wolves scoring a goal that was blown dead and saw Mississippi put down 5 on 3 for Unsportsmanlike Conduct Matt Graham netted a power play goal at 17:23 to give Port Huron a 3-1 lead before the Sea Wolves had a power play of their own and pulled Best for an extra attacker and Graham shot from 150 feet away to make it 4-1.

Best stopped 32 of 35 in the loss.

The Sea Wolves return to the Mississippi Coast Coliseum next week for a three game set against the Defending Commissioner's Cup Champions, the Binghamton Black Bears. Join us and get your tickets on Ticketmaster or from the Coliseum Box Office!
