Thunder Strike in Overtime to Complete Three-Goal Comeback Against Knight Monsters

Thunder Strike in Overtime to Complete Three-Goal Comeback Against Knight Monsters

STATELINE, NV – The Tahoe Knight Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights, were defeated by the Wichita Thunder on Sunday afternoon by a score of 4-3 in overtime.   

 

Wichita got the scoring started courtesy of Jordan Biro in the opening two minutes of the first period to make it 1-0 Thunder. Just over three minutes later, Tahoe forward Cam Hausinger scored his first goal of the season on a wraparound shot to tie the game at 1. Late in the period, on a power play, rookie forward Kooper Gizowski scored his second goal of the weekend to give Tahoe a 2-1 lead, and their first power-play goal of the season. 

 

In the second period, the Knight Monsters extended their lead thanks to the second goal of the afternoon from Hausinger after a lengthy review to make it 3-1 Knight Monsters. However, Wichita would storm back with a power-play goal from TJ Lloyd at the 11:16 mark to make it a one-goal game, and then Michal Stinil scored in the closing moments to tie the score headed into the final 20. 

 

Both goaltenders shut down the game in the third period as Pavel Moysevich for the Knight Monsters and Yaroslav Korostelev from the Thunder both stopped every shot they faced, and the two teams both earned a point as they headed to overtime. 

 

In OT, after the Knight Monsters took a penalty, Wichita capitalized thanks to a deflection goal by Ethan Scardina, and the Thunder completed the comeback and earned a two-game sweep over Tahoe to open the season.
