Flint, MI– Special teams proved to the be the difference Friday night in Flint, as the Generals went 2 for 8 on the power-play, while Kalamazoo struggled going 0 for 5 in a 2-1 loss.
Travel problems due to bad weather caused a 15-minute delay to the opening face-off. While Flint out shot Kalamazoo 10-8 in the first, neither team benefited from the delay, as the teams finished the period scoreless.
Registering on the scoreboard first, John Miller (3rd) gave Kalamazoo a 1-0 lead, scoring on a slap shot from the slot 8:05 into the second period.
Four minutes later, Flint knotted the contest at 1-1, as Jordan Fox (21st) capitalized on a 5-on-3 power-play marker.
The league’s top power-play unit struck again moments later; this time it was Jason Cirone (17th) lighting the lamp on the man-advantage to give the Generals a 2-1 lead.
Just like the opening period, neither team was able to score in the third peirod giving Flint a 2-1 victory.
