LINEMATES GREG JOHNSON (2 GOALS 3 ASSISTS) AND PATRICK KINCH TOOK CHARGE IN SCORING 1 POWERPLAY, 2 SHORTHANDED, AND 1 EVEN STRENGTH GOAL. COACH LANTZ COMMENTED THIS STRETCH IS THE BEST PAT HAS PLAYED IN HIS TWO YEARS AT PSUA. "PAT IS PLAYING INCREDIBLE AT BOTH ENDS OF THE ICE. HE IS LEADING BY EXAMPLE, AND HOPEFULLY THE REST OF THE TEAM CAN FEED OFF OF HIS ENERGY AND HUSTLE HE BRINGS TO THE TEAM." CHRIS RYAN WAS ONCE AGAIN A WALL IN STOPPING 40 OF 43 SHOTS AND SHUTING OUT THE ICECATS IN THE 3RD PERIOD. PROBABLY BEST SAVE OF THE NIGHT WAS A THIRD PERIOD TOE SAVE ON AN EMPTY NET THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE ICECATS THE EARLY LEAD AND MOMENTUM IN THE 3RD PERIOD.ANDREW PLATE ALSO TALLIED FOR THE LIONS.
