ALBANY 3, PEORIA 2 (SO)
The Albany River Rats scored twice in the final 3:07 of regulation on Wednesday night and went on to a 3-2 shootout win over the Peoria Rivermen at Pepsi Arena.
The win was the third in a row for the River Rats. The Rivermen had a two-game win streak snapped in the opener of a six-game road trip.
Making his first appearance of the 2006-07 season, Jason Bacashihua stopped 32 shots in net for the Rivermen. Bacashihua, in his fifth season after being selected in the first round of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, was assigned to Peoria on Sunday by the parent St. Louis Blues.
Magnus Kahnberg, a former Carolina Hurricanes draft pick, scored the first goal of his AHL career to snap a scoreless tie with 8:59 left in the second period. Trent Whitfield added his second goal of the season on a third-period power play to give the Rivermen a 2-0 lead.
Bacashihua was in line for his 11th career AHL shutout until Matt Murley scored for the River Rats with 3:07 remaining in the game. Pat Dwyer then tied the score with just 49.7 seconds left in regulation.
Murley had a goal and an assist before scoring the decisive goal in the shootout.
