Whalers nip Otters in a shootout
PLYMOUTH, MI. - Chris Terry scored the only goal of the shootout to lift the Plymouth Whalers to a come-from-behind 7-6 win over the Erie Otters in an Ontario Hockey League game played tonight at the Compuware Sports Arena. James Neal scored two goals for the Whalers while Dan Collins had a goal and two assists. Kaine Geldart, Jared Boll and Terry rounded out the Whalers scoring. Evan Brophey collected five assists. Andrew Hotham paced the Otters attack with a pair of goals. Sean O'Connor added a goal and two assists while Josh Vatri, Derrick Bagshaw and Mitch Gaulton also scored. Justin Hodgman supplied three assists and Kelly Geoffrey and Nick Palmieri added two helpers each. The Otters dropped to 1-0-0-1 on the season. The Whalers are 1-1. The two teams were tied at 2-2 after one. Erie led 5-4 after two. The Otters grabbed a 6-4 lead midway through the third on Gaulton's first career goal. But the Whalers answered with two goals in the final six minutes to force overtime. Ryan Ludzik took the shootout loss allowing six goals on 31 shots and one on two shots in the shootout. Jeremy Smith posted the win for the Whalers with 22 saves and three more in the shootout as O'Connor, Hodgman and Hotham all failed to score. The three stars of the game were 1. Brophey, 2. Hodgman and 3. Neal.
