Mallards Unable to Hold the Rush

MOLINE, IL – There was a battle for 26th place in the ECHL on Wednesday night between the Rapid City Rush and Quad City Mallards. The Mallards held the penultimate place in the standings by only one point before the match up began, and with contests against the Kalamazoo Wings and Cincinnati Cyclones this weekend, the Mallards needed to win to attempt to hold that spot.

Fireworks began shortly after the opening faceoff, as former Mallard Garrett Klotz and Travis Armstrong dropped the gloves in the Mallards’ defensive zone after the Rush player had said hello to Quentin Shore by delivering a hard check into the boards. Both combatants fell to the ice and then returned to their feet to continue the tilt, Armstrong pumping the crowd up as he skated to the sinbin afterwards. Klotz also attempted to pump the crowd by mirroring Armstrong’s raised arms gesture, but the effort was met with considerably less applause.

Ryan McGrath almost ended the shut out at 8:45 after going on a breakaway after coming out of the box. He streaked up the ice along the half-boards, cutting left to try to beat Christian Frey on the glove side. McGrath couldn’t get the puck in the air, however, Frey kicking his foot out as he lay sprawled on his stomach to make the save.

It would take another almost nine minutes for the first goal to be scored, Matt Pohlkamp putting the Mallards on the board with help from Chris Izmirlian and Alex Globke. Pohlkamp shot from the low slot, the puck hitting the inside of the crossbar over Frey’s head before bouncing back out.

The teams looked evenly matched in the first period and through much of the middle frame as well, but things turned south for the home team quickly. A bounce that appeared to go off of Tommy Muratore’s skate found the back of the net behind C.J. Motte, tying the game at one apiece. Aaron Boyd was the last Rush player to touch the puck, and therefore was credited with his first goal of the season.

The ultimate period between the two teams for the foreseeable future was all Rapid City’s game. Another bad bounce gave the visitors their first lead of the night, as the puck bounced over Motte’s left shoulder after deflecting off of Willie Raskob’s stick in front of the crease.

Klotz returned to the penalty box very briefly midway through the third period after being given a five minute major for charging Globke at center ice. As soon as Klotz sat down in the box the referee told him he was done for the night, and he was not happy about it. He yelled at the referee before being escorted off the ice, slamming a puck into the boards on his way to the door, Klotz also was given a ten minute game misconduct on top of the five minute major.

The Mallards did a poor job on the extended power play, only amassing two shots on net the entire five minutes of the man advantage. Neither team was successful on their respective power plays throughout the night, however.

The Mallards pulled Motte in an attempt to even the score and go in to over time, but as often happens there was an empty net goal scored by the leading team. Peter Sivak put the nail in the coffin, and 25 seconds later Brayden Sherbinin also added a tally from the visitor’s blue line.

Even with an ECHL club record 54 shots, the Mallards were unable to get more than one puck past Frey. Motte faced 40 shots throughout the night, stopping 37 of them.

The Mallards will take on the Kalamazoo Wings on Friday at 7:05 CDT at the TaxSlayer Center. It will be the final $2 Beer and $2 Hot Dog Night presented by 97X. The Mallards will then close their season on Saturday against the Cincinnati Cyclones.

Setting the Scene... The Sacred Heart men's ice hockey team returns from the semester break with a home-and-home series against Holy Cross. Friday night kicks off at Webster Bank Arena followed by Saturday's contest at the Hart Center to close out the 2017 calendar year for SHU.

Last Time Out... SHU closed out the fall semester & non-conference play with a 2-1 loss to Yale at Webster Bank Arena on December 9. The Pioneers opened the scoring nine seconds into the second period with  a shorthanded goal by Zach Tsekos. The Bulldogs responded with two unanswered goals courtesy of Joe Snively with the game winner coming with 4:28 to go in the third. SHU went 0-for-7 on the man advantage with plenty of chances in the final minutes. Junior Brett Magnus registered 36 saves for SHU.

Last Meeting... The Pioneers & Crusaders skated to a 2-2 overtime tie at Webster Bank Arena on January 14, 2017. SHU jumped to a two-goal lead in the first with tallies by Justin Danforth & Mitch Nylen. Holy Cross tied it up with a goal in the second by T.J. Moore and a third period goal by Tommy Muratore 1:27 into the period. The Pioneers fired seven shots in overtime looking for the series sweep with the second overtime game of the weekend after a 2-1 OT win on Friday night.

All-Time Series... Holy Cross leads the all-time series between both teams at 34-30-4.  The Crusaders hold a 5-3-2 advantage in the last 10 meetings, but the Pioneers took the lone victory last season (1-0-1) with Justin Danforth's overtime game winner on January 13, 2017.

Scouting The Crusaders... Holy Cross enters the weekend in third place in Atlantic Hockey standings with 15 points at 5-2-5 in league play and 6-6-6 overall. The Crusaders own a league best 2.33 scoring defense in conference play. Scott Pooley paces the offense with a league leading 14 goals on the year. Paul Berrafato has started all 18 games in goal, leading Atlantic Hockey with a .924 save percentage.

Second Half Reset... The Pioneers look to get off to a good start in the second half of the 2017-18 slate. In the last three seasons, SHU has averaged just over six wins in the second half (19-23-9 second half record). Juniors Liam Clare & Stephen Hladin lead returnees from a year ago with 11 & 10 points respectively in the final 16 regular season games. Hladin tied for the team lead with six goals in that stretch last season.
