Gargoyles Add Point in Third Straight OT Finish, Admirals Win 3-2

GREENSBORO, NC – The Greensboro Gargoyles have picked up points in three consecutive games after Friday’s contest against the Norfolk Admirals went the distance. The Admirals opened the three-game weekend series with a 3-2 overtime win at Norfolk Scope Arena.

Justin Young opened the scoring for Norfolk, giving the Admirals a 1-0 lead 5:22 into the first period.

Greensboro answered with back-to-back goals just 1:54 apart to take the lead in the second period. Markus Oden scored his first ECHL goal at 7:36 of the middle frame, assisted by Parker Lindauer and Chase Lefebvre. Thomas Freel followed with his second goal in as many games at 9:30, giving the Gargoyles a 2-1 lead with assists from Artyom Borshyov and Tristan De Jong.

Lindauer has recorded three assists over his last two games, while Borshyov and De Jong each picked up their first points of the season.

Michael Citara responded for the Admirals, tying the game 6:03 into the third period. Norfolk took four penalties in the final frame, giving the Gargoyles consecutive 5-on-3 opportunities midway through the period, but Greensboro was unable to capitalize.

In overtime, Brandon Osmundson scored the game-winner 2:36 into the extra frame to secure the 3-2 victory for Norfolk.

The Gargoyles finished 0-for-6 on the power play while going a perfect 2-for-2 on the penalty kill.

Greensboro and Norfolk meet again at Norfolk Scope Arena on Saturday night before returning to the Gate City to conclude the weekend at First Horizon Coliseum on Sunday at 3 PM. Tickets for Sunday Funday, presented by Lakeside Dental, are available at gargoyleshockey.com.
