Phantoms dropshootout at Dayton
DAYTON -- The Youngstown Phantoms dropped a 4-3 decision to the Dayton Gems in an overtime shootout at Hobart Arena Saturday night.
Youngstown (8-1-4) received one point in the standings for the regulation tie. The 3-3 tie came about when Phantoms' center Carson Strang scored with 19 seconds remaining in the third period after coach Bob Mainhardt pulled goaltender John Murray in favor of an extra attacker.
Neither team scored during the five-minute overtime and the game went to a shootout.
Dayton (5-6-1) earned the victory by finding the net against Murray on three of its four shots, while Youngstown scored on only one of its four attempts.
Youngstown got second-period goals from left winger Aaron Rhyner and defenseman Charley Fetzer, but entered the third period trailing, 3-2. The goal by Strang was his team-leading ninth of the season.
Murray made 26 saves as the Phantoms out-shot the Gems, 41-29. Anthony Canzoneri was the only Youngstown player to score during the shootout.
