Goals and assists
Tyler Hinam showed why Manchester Storm gave him a two-year contract
extension earlier in the week with a double to help Manchester Storm
past Nottingham Panthers
Storm thought they'd gone ahead with 51
seconds played through Cam Critchlow, but the goal was immediately
washed out for a kicking motion. The officials went to review, but with
the video technology unavailable they were forced to keep their on-ice
call and the game stayed scoreless.
Manchester did take the lead
some ten minutes later, however. CJ Garcia's big shot from the point was
tipped in front of Rok Stojanovič by Tyler Hinam to open the scoring at
11:26.
67 seconds into period two, Stojanovič reacted quickly to
grab a rolling puck off the goal line and prevent the Storm doubling
their lead - a no goal call confirmed after a look at the video. Storm's
insurance goal came 9:24 into period three a Hinam danced his way
through the Panthers zone and beat Stojanovič through a bit of a screen
to make it 2-0.
Jonathan Paredes called a timeout with 3:17 to
go, and after Westin Michaud's tip went just over Dallas Ehrhadt fired
into the empty net from his own zone with 2:46 left to play.
The win completed a much-needed four-point weekend for Matt Ginn's side.
