Silvertips Again Beat Americans In A Shootout
Gendur with two goals; Beach with game winner
Everett Silvertips Press Release
Everett, Wash. - The Everett Silvertips knocked off the Tri-City Americans 3-2 in a shootout on Wednesday night, January 9th, at Comcast Arena at the Everett Events Center. It was the second consecutive game between the two teams with both going beyond regulation and the standard overtime period. Also for the second game in a row, Kyle Beach scored the shootout winner as Everett's record this season against Tri-City climbs to 5-3 and overall to 23-19-0-2 (48 pts); they remain third place in the U.S. Division and fifth in the Western Conference.
Dan Gendur's two goal performance got things going in the opening period. On his first, following a cross ice pass from Zach Hamill in the Silvertips zone, Gendur carried the puck down the rightwing boards and into the Americans end. Fighting the whole way, Gendur muscled off a shot while engaged with his defender that went through Tri-City goaltender Chet Pickard at the 7:35 mark. He would follow that up at 14:55 on the power play with a shot from the top of the zone that Pickard never saw. However, Jason Reese scored for the Americans at 16:05 to get the visitors on the board.
The game went without scoring until Tri-City tied things up early in the third on a Colton Yellow Horn 5-on-3 goal at 2:05. Neither team could convert again including Everett despite a lengthy two man advantage of their own late in the 20-minutes. That gave reason for the overtime period and the shootout.
The Silvertips out shot the Americans 3-1 in the 5-minute OT with the lone Tri-City shot resulting in a huge Leland Irving glove save. Irving remained solid for the shootout by stopping all three shooters he faced. It was Kyle Beach as Everett's second shooter who won the game with a shot over Pickard's right shoulder.
The Silvertips will remain at home for their next game against the Seattle Thunderbirds this Friday night. Game time at Comcast Arena at the Everett Events Center is scheduled for 7:35 p.m. It will then be a rare Saturday off for the team before traveling to Portland to face-off against the Winter Hawks at Memorial Coliseum on Sunday. Game time is set for 5:00 p.m.
