Re: Alaska Nanooks 2013-14 Season Thread - On the Road to Perdition...
The Nooks held on for a hard fought 4-2 win last night against the MSU Mavericks, in part to a strong performance by goaltender Davis Jones. Play was pretty even in the first, but then the Nooks seemed to reserve a room in the sin bin for much of the second and MSU took over puck control and SOGs. Play in the third was fairly even until MSU made their final push to try and tie things up. But Kunyk was able to get an empty netter to seal the deal.
Early on both teams were skating well and had chances…
Kunyk, Beck, Basara were strong all night and gave the Nooks their chances…
T. Morley put the Nooks on the board about half way through the first with this tip in off a shot by Nolan Huysmans…
Beck, Kunyk, and T. Morley all had three points on the night…
Things got a little congested in the crease in the second, and Atkinson ended up with a 5 minute major for facemasking and a game misconduct…
Matt Lietner for MSU picked up a bouncing puck and ties the score at one all with about three minutes left in the second…
Kunyk had a beautiful feed to T. Morley who buried this one past Huggins for his second goal of the night and a 2-1 Nook lead early in the third…
MSU put on pressure in the third, but hard work by Kuynk and Basara results in this wide open net goal by Beck to put the Nooks up 3-1 with five minutes left in the game…
MSU pulled their goalie at the four minute mark and McInnis quickly scored and closed the gap to one with over three minutes left in the game…
But Kunyk was able to get an empty net goal with 30 seconds left to make it 4-2 and guarantee the much needed two points.
