Powered by two-goal nights from Kyle McCullough and Eric Frank, the Brooklyn Aces defeated the cellar-dwelling Hudson Valley Bears 6-2 last night.
The Aces offense continued right where it left on Thursday, scoring three goals through the first 4:16 of the first period, getting a goal from Frank and a pair from McCullough. Hudson Valley answered back just 11 seconds later however on a Lynn Beedle tally that cut the Brooklyn lead to 3-1 going into the second period.
The next 20 minutes of action were quiet offensively, as the only note on the scoresheet was a C.J. Tozzo goal, his 26th of the season at 17:15, that gave Brooklyn their three-goal lead back at 4-1.
The Aces started the third period off on the wrong foot, as Chase Decker scored for the Bears and made it interesting at 4-2. The game stayed that way until the final minute, when Frank and Ian McLoughlin scored 35 seconds apart to put the game away at 6-2.
With the win and New Jersey’s win over Danbury, the Aces maintain their 13-point lead in first place with only ten games left to play.
Notes-
Aces goaltender Miro Recicar made 24 saves on 26 shots.
Aces defenseman Andrew Scampoli led all players with nine shots on goal.
In addition to his goal in the second, Tozzo also had three assists and was a +4.
Attendance for the game was 268.
