It’s not often a shorthanded goal is scored in any game, let alone one where it it’s the game winner. That’s what happened on Sean Dolan‘s goal off Patrick Gaul‘s dump in. Dolan did not give up on the play; he shook off Konrad Abeltshauser‘s defense to score the final goal of a 4-3 win for the Stingrays over the Allen Americans. Game 2 will be 8:05 ET at the Allen Event Center.
The Americans opened the scoring in the first minute on a zero-angle shot by Tyler Ludwig. That would be the only goal Jeff Jakaitis allowed for almost 25 minutes on his way to a 21 save performance.
