SHREVEPORT, LA- The Mudbugs on Friday Night this weekend took down the IceRays 6-0, but on Saturday night it was a much tighter affair between the two teams.
The 1st Period saw the IceRays jump out to an early lead when Oliver Czaja scored short-handed while the Bugs were on the Scott Powerline PowerPlay. Czaja then extended his teams’ lead in the Second when this time he scored on the IceRays PowerPlay at 08:09. The Bugs then found new life as Anthony Brereton cut the deficit to 1 at 03:10 with his second goal of the season. From there the Bugs put up two unanswered goals in the third period from Jonah Jasser at 11:57 and William-Alexis Tremblay at 08:54 to give the Bugs the go-ahead lead and the final scoreline of 3-2. Kristers Plepis once again stood between the pipes and stopped 25 of 27 shots on goal.
The Bugs next week will be on the road across Texas as they play a three-game slate with Friday and Saturday being against the Lone Star Brahmas at 7:30 PM inside the Nytex Sports Centre and Sunday afternoon will see the Bugs head to the Permian Basin to take on the Odessa Jackalopes at 2 PM. All three games will be available to watch on NATV and to listen in to on the audio-only feed through the Mudbugs Audio Network on YouTube. Duncan Welker will have the call and the Landers Dodge Pregame Warmup show will hit the airwaves at 7:15 PM.
