The Toledo Walleye are known for their sellout crowds: but on Wednesday they enforced crowd control as panic swept the United States and widely affected all levels of sports.
The Toledo Walleye published a recap of the game to their website. The Fish bounced back from an early two-goal deficit, scoring three goals in a 1:52 second-period span en route to a 5-3 victory over the Central Division-leading Cincinnati Cyclones at the Huntington Center.
More from the Toledo Walleye website:
“After falling behind 2-0 in the opening period, Josh Winquist, Kevin Spinozzi and Brenden Kotyk lit the lamp in quick succession to give the Walleye a 3-2 lead by the three-minute mark of the second stanza. Josh Kestner netted what proved to be the game-winning tally with 7:45 to go in regulation, before Kotyk banked his second goal of the night off the glass and into an empty net with 35.8 seconds on the clock.
Kotyk was one of four Walleye (37-17-4-1) skaters to show multiple points, as Winquist and Kestner each recorded a goal and an assist, while Shane Berschbach dished out a pair of helpers. At the other end, Billy Christopoulos turned away 26-of-29 shots to pick up his eighth consecutive victory and improve to 24-3-3 on the season.
The Walleye, who improved to 7-3 over Cincinnati (38-17-7-1) in the regular-season series, now sit five points behind their intrastate rivals with four games in hand.”
