Two shorthanded goals in a 23-second span early in the third period sparked a five- goal explosion as the Elmira Jackals rallied for a 6-3 road win at Gwinnett Tuesday night to complete a 4-1 southern road trip.
Defenseman Tomas Kudelka was sent off for high-sticking 4:03 into the final period and his Jackals teammates down 3-1.
But Luke Fulghum finished off a 3-on-2 break with his sixth of the season pull Elmira to within 3-2 and 23 seconds later, Brett Pilkington scored his second of the game to tie the score at three.
The momentum was fully in Elmiras corner and they took the lead for good at 8:28 when Kudelkas low drive found the bac of the net for a 4-3 advantage.
Bobby Robins and Pierre-Luc Faubert tacked on insurance markers to clinch the win and give Elmira sole possession of second place in the North Division with 19 points.
The Jackals are next in action Friday night against the Trenton Devils at 7:35 p.m. at First Arena.
