After a disappointing six-goal loss on Saturday, this afternoon’s recreation had the makings of a letdown via two durations. Tahoe scored two shorthanded objectives and took a 3-0 lead heading into the third.
With its season within the stability, Speedy Metropolis responded to adversity in an enormous manner within the last 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 last 29 seconds, Billy Constantinou sniped a wrist shot from the proper circle to miraculously tie the sport.
Extra time ended with just one participant having touched the puck. Trevor Janicke gained 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 group wouldn’t depart Nevada empty-handed. Remarkably, It was Speedy 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 Speedy Metropolis, 41-40.
The Rush returns to South Dakota for a six-game homestand having gained 12 of the final 15 video games.
Subsequent recreation: Thursday, March 13 vs. Iowa. 7:05 p.m. MDT puck drop from The Monument Ice Enviornment.
