APR 4 GAME WRAP

DRAGONS TAKE 4-2 WIN AT MONROE, GO FOR WEEKEND SWEEP TOMORROW

Storjohann Scores Twice for Second Straight Game, Wickline Four Point Night

MONROE, LA - Alex Storjohann scored twice for the second night in a row while Cody Wickline added a goal and three assists in a 4-2 Columbus River Dragons victory over the Monroe Moccasins on Friday night.

Wickline scored at 11:59 of the first period to tie the game up at 1-1, and then set up the first of Storjohann’s two goals on the night at 7:32 of the second period.

River Dragons rookie Loik Plouffe scored his first goal as a pro, finishing off his own rebound for a shorthanded marker at 9:05 of the second period to make it 3-1 Columbus after 40 minutes.

In the third, after Ben Stefanini banked a shot in off the skate of a River Dragons defender from the side of the goal, Storjohann put the game away with an empty net goal at 18:53 to wrap the scoring.

Matt Petizian made 36 saves to earn the win for Columbus.

Notes:

• Tonight’s game was the first time all season Storjohann had recorded multiple goals in back-to-back games.

• Plouffe’s first pro goal also went for the game-winning goal, and was the first time this season a shorthanded goal also counted for Columbus’ GWG.

• Columbus is now 9-1-0 against Monroe this season and 4-0 on the road against the Moccasins.

• Tomorrow night’s rematch is the final road game of the regular season for the River Dragons.

Columbus wraps the weekend series with Monroe tomorrow night at 8 pm ET. Check out the River Dragons pregame show starting 15 minutes prior to puck drop on @ColumbusRiverDragons on YouTube.
