Knight Monsters End Extended Road Trip with Big Win Over Gargoyles 5-1

STATELINE, NV – The Tahoe Knight Monsters, proud ECHL Affiliate of the NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights and the AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights, end their 11-game road trip with a big 5-1 victory over the Greensboro Gargoyles.       Knight Monsters End Extended Road Trip with Big Win Over Gargoyles 5-1

Tahoe scored in the opening 90 seconds of the game as Sloan Stanick notched his 10th goal of the season to make it 1-0 Tahoe, which would be the score heading into the first intermission.

In the second, Adam Pitters made a beautiful stick move to work in and bury a chance to extend the Tahoe lead to a pair of goals. That goal from Pitters was his first of the season. However, in the final five seconds of the frame, Ethan Leyh got a back-door feed from Anthony Rinaldi to cut the lead in half as the Knight Monsters led 2-1 after 40 minutes.

In the third, Tahoe put the game to rest. Jake McGrew scored at the 3:47 mark to make it 3-1, and after a second goal from Stanick on a sharp-angle chance, and a breakaway goal for Jake Durflinger, the Knight Monsters ran away with the game en route to a 5-1 win.

Cameron Whitehead had a highlight-worthy night in net as he turned away 24 of 25 Gargoyles shots.
