PHILADELPHIA, PA – A second breakout game from Athan Iannucci and great play from Wings (5-7) starting goaltender Brandon Miller propelled Philadelphia to a 17-13 victory over the Colorado Mammoth (6-6).  Iannucci had four goals and three assists while Miller stopped 37 shots and scored a goal of his own.  The win kept the team’s playoff hopes alive as they are still only a half game out of the final spot in the East Division.

 “We put it all together tonight against a very toughColorado team,” said Head Coach Dave Huntley.

The Wings came out strong scoring just 33 seconds into the contest.  The teams traded goals and the score was tied 4-4 after the first.  Miller had his busiest quarter, stopping 12 of 16 to keep the Wings from going down early as they did in their previous home contest.  Iannucci scored his first of the game in the second quarter and triggered a four goal run by Philadelphia which gave them an 8-5 lead going into the half.

Both teams scored three third quarter goals as the Wings maintained their three goal advantage.  Iannucci would add two to his total, along with a goal from Geoff Snider who was returning from tracheal tear that he suffered four weeks prior in Edmonton. 

The fourth quarter was an offensive show from both teams with 11 total goals scored in the period.  Iannucci scored his fourth and added two assists, Snider scored his second goal of the game shorthanded, and Miller even got into the act scoring on the Mammoth empty net with two and half minutes to play.
