Saturday Night Roundup
Eagles Soar over Mudbugs for Third Straight Win

Marco Emond had a busy night in net for the Colorado Eagles on Saturday as he turned away 48 of 50 shots en route to a 5-2 victory over the streaking Bossier-Shreveport Mudbugs.  The defeat was the first loss in regulation for the ‘Bugs since November 17th (6-0-2 over their point streak).

The Eagles used a string second period with Ed McGrane scoring a pair of goals and Greg Pankewicz adding his ninth of the season.  Defensemen Aaron Schneekloth and Paul Esdale also scored for the Eagles who improve to 8-2-1 over their last 11 games.

The Mudbugs rattled off 24 shots on net in the final period but Emond stood on his head turning away everything he faced in the period.  The win moves Emond to 6-2-0 on the season.  John DeCaro made 23 saves and after last night’s shootout loss in Rocky Mountain, has dropped consecutive games for the first time since October.
