ELMIRA, N.Y. — Pat Galivan and Michael Forney scored in a shootout, as the Gwinnett Gladiators snapped a six-game home winning streak for the Elmira Jackals 2-1 Saturday night at First Arena.
A day before Elmira (29-24-8) had ended Gwinnett’s (29-26-7) six-game winning streak by an identical 2-1 score in regulation. The win boosts the Glads into a tie for seventh in the Eastern Conference at 65 points with the Wheeling Nailers. The Jackals got on the board first courtesy of a Justin Donati shorthanded breakaway goal at 9:39 of the first off an outlet feed from AJ Perry. Gwinnett answered at 15:37 on the powerplay, as Michael Forney blasted a slapshot past a screened Marco Cousineau to pull the Glads even. Matt Duffy and Pat Galivan picked up the assists on Forney’s 16th of the season. Gwinnett has a powerplay goal in eight straight games, and the score was tied at one after 20 minutes. The score stayed at 1-1 all the way through regulation and overtime, giving both teams a point but putting a crucial second point on the table. In the shootout Galivan and Forney beat Cousineau, while Chris Carrozzi stopped all four Jackals he faced to cement a big 2-1 Gwinnett win. Both goaltenders were sensational. Carrozzi turning away 31 of 32 shots and all four Jackals in the shootout. Cousineau stopped 36 of 37 shots for Elmira.More like this story
