Stockton, Calif. - Joel Irwin scored with 26.1 seconds left in overtime to lift the Stockton Thunder to a 4-3 victory over the Phoenix RoadRunners before 5,450 at Stockton Arena in ECHL action Sunday.
The teams traded power play goals in the opening period. Phoenix (19-44-4) struck first for a third consecutive game as Jake Riddle re-directed Kevin Ulanski's shot from the right-wing circle past the stick of Stockton goaltender Jake Moreland at 6:58 to give the RoadRunners a 1-0 lead. Stockton (15-38-2) would storm right back on their first power play attempt. Ned Havern batted Aaron MacInnis' rebound out of mid-air and past RoadRunners net-minder Ryan Cyr at 10:01 to tie the contest at 1-1.
Stockton took their first lead of the game just 2:52 into the second. Havern potted his second of the night with a slap shot from the right-wing circle to give the Thunder a 2-1 advantage. But the RoadRunners would have the period's final say. Riddle fed Ulanski out in front of the net and Ulanski worked a backhand shot around Moreland at 18:14 to tie the game at 2-2.
The RoadRunners battled to regain the lead with a two-man advantage power play goal 5:55 into the third period. Ulanski from the end line played the puck off Moreland's pads and into the net for the tally and a 3-2 lead. But the Thunder would net the equalizer with under four minutes to play in regulation as Jeff Lang beat Cyr with a slap shot from the left-wing circle at 16:49.
Irwin scored at 4:34 following an 8-shot overtime period by the Thunder.
Stockton out-shot Phoenix 54-43. Cyr stopped a career-high 50 shots in the overtime defeat and fell to 0-11-1 on the season. The RoadRunners went 2-6 on the power play and held the Thunder to just a single power play goal on five chances.
