CHARLOTTE, NC – Icy conditions outside couldn’t slow down the Checkers Wednesday night as they stormed back to beat the Bridgeport Sound Tigers 4-3.
Playing in front of an empty arena due to inclement weather, the two clubs traded tallies early in the opening frame, a period that saw the Sound Tigers outshoot Charlotte 14-4. The visitors took a hold of the lead in the middle frame, however, knocking in a pair of goals to build up a solid two-goal advantage through 40 minutes.
Charlotte’s rally kicked off early on in the third, when Trevor Carrick put a slap shot through traffic on the power play to cut the lead back to one. The Checkers continued to push on from there with Lucas Wallmark evening the score midway through the frame, then taking advantage of five-on-three power play in the final five minutes of regulation to complete the comeback win and pick up a midweek sweep over the Sound Tigers.
