Friday, February 6, 2009
PHILADELPHIA, PA – The Wings AJ Shannon scores last two goals and
assists on two more in the fourth quarter to finish Philadelphia comeback over
the previously undefeated Buffalo Bandits, 13-11. With the Wings down two with ten minutes
left they scored five of the next six goals to capture their first home victory
of 2009.
“I was impressed by the consistent effort of our entire
offense tonight,” said Head Coach Dave Huntley. “Our effort in the fourth quarter
ultimately won us the game.”
Shannon, in his second season with the Wings
had five points (2G 3A), was joined by Geoff Snider who won 24 of 28 faceoffs
and Mat Giles who was the team’s leading scoring with six points (3G 3A). Goaltender Brandon Miller also added 34
saves, 10 of which were in the final quarter of play.
