Game Summary: January 28, 2005- RoughRiders 5 Indiana 4
<P>Ray Eichenlaub scored the power play game winner at 13:07 of the third period as the host RoughRiders came from behind to defeat the Indiana Ice 5-4 Friday night.</P>
<P>Eichenlaub’s was the Riders third unanswered third period goal as Cedar Rapids battled back to erase a 4-2 deficit. Eichenlaub pounced on a loose puck in the right wing circle and blasted it under the cross bar for his second goal of the game.</P>
<P>Goals from Justin Abdelkader (his second of the night) and Brandon Svendsen earlier in the third wiped out the Ice’s two goal lead.</P>
<P>The Riders were on the power play when Abdelakder crashed the net and jammed the puck home to cut the Indiana lead to 4-3 at 6:12.</P>
<P>The Riders evened the scored when Svendsen barreled into the goalmouth and knocked the puck in from point blank range at 9:48.</P>
<P>Indiana was able to enter the third with a seemingly comfortable two goal cushion after Eddie Del Grosso scored with just 1:40 left in the second period. Del Grosso worked a give-and-go with Tomas Klempa (who assisted on all four Ice goals) and snapped the puck past Rider starting goaltender Dan Tormey from the right wing circle.</P>
<P>Tormey would be replaced by Alex Stalock at the start of the third period after giving up four goals on 14 Ice shots.</P>
<P>Del Grosso’s goal stalled the Riders’ momentum after Cedar Rapids controlled play for much of the second period. The Riders were able to turn that second period pressure into a goal at 13:18 when Abdelkader scored his first of the evening. Abdelkader crashed the net and swept the rebound under Indiana goaltender James Kohout after Kohout stopped Greg Collins’ initial bid.</P>
<P>Abdlelakder’s goal trimmed the deficit to 3-2 after Brian Gifford had given the Ice its first two goal lead of the night with power play goal early in the second period. Gifford buried the rebound at the 1:53 mark after Tormey stopped a Del Grosso blue line blast.</P>
<P>Gifford’s goal was Indiana’s third in a row. Ryan Peckskamp struck twice in the first period to enable the Ice to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. </P>
<P>Peckskamp first found the net at 13:32 of the first when he snapped a wrist shot from the top of the right wing circle over Tormey’s right shoulder. At 16:11 Peckskamp fired a bad angle shot home on the short side to give the Ice its first lead of the game.</P>
<P>Eichenlaub had opened the scoring 3:04 into the game with first of his two power play goals. The Rider defenseman charged in from the blue line to turn in a Ted Purcell centering pass from the edge of the crease. Eichenlaub’s second goal would prove easily the more memorable of the two.</P>
