Elmira, NY Former Jackal Greg Koehler had 5-assists Saturday night as the Adirondack Frostbite completed a weekend sweep of the Elmira Jackals 5-1 at the First Arena.
Adirondack jumped all over Elmira in front of a sellout crowd, sinking the Jackals with a 4-goal first period. Hugo Belanger scored twice and Trevor Segstro and Bob Rapoza each added a goal of their own in the opening twenty minutes. Greg Koehler had assists on each of the 4 goals exacting his own form on revenge on the team that traded him away one week ago. Tom Clayton scored the lone goal of the first period at 8:06, his 4th of the year, from Carl Drakensjo and Corey Foster, but Elmira went into the break trailing 4-1.
After a stalemate in the second period, the Frostbite added one final goal at 14:42 of the third period when Scott Page scored from Koehler and David Vychodil for a 5-1 final score. The Jackals were out-shot 11-to-3 in the final period.
Goaltender Kris Tebbs made 31 saves on 32 shots for the win, while Kevin Kurk took the loss for Elmira, stopping 31 of 36 shots on the night.
Elmira will hit the road for a weekend doubleheader in Connecticut with the Danbury Trashers starting Friday February 25th at 7:30 pm at the Danbury Ice Arena. The Jackals next home game comes on Friday March 4th as they host the Fort Wayne Komets for a 7:30 pm face off at the First Arena.
