Toledo back in the win column against Kalamazoo

Toledo, OH - The Toledo Walleye defeated the Kalamazoo Wings on November 29 at the Huntington Center in the Black Friday matchup. The final score was 3-2.

How it Happened:

Leading the attack for the Walleye was Tyler Spezia, Brandon Hawkins, and Mitch Lewandowski. Protecting the blue line was Grant Gabriele and Chaz Reddekopp while Jan Bednar manned the net.

Toledo dominated the first period in puck possession leading 16-2 in shots on goal through the first. However, the game remained scoreless going into second.

At 2:56 of the 2nd period, Carson Bantle lit the lamp on the power-play and got the first of the game when he tipped in the puck in front of the net after a pass from Casey Dornbach and Brandon Kruse.

Kalamazoo responded right away with a goal to tie it by Joey Raats. 

After a 5-minute major penalty on Jalen Smereck, Kalamazoo went on the power-play with the opportunity to score multiple goals with the man-advantage.

At 15:39, Zach Okabe got the first goal of the 5-minute man advantage for Kalamazoo, taking the lead.

The second goal of the man-advantage came from the Toledo Walleye as a shorthanded goal from Tyler Spezia, extending his point streak to 9-games, tying the game at two goals a piece.

2:28 into the 3rd period, Mitch Lewandowski took the lead with a goal. On the assist was Tanner Palocsik, his first professional point.
