Ross Nets Two And Gagnon Lifts Crows in OT, 4-3

After a big win on Friday the Scarecrows and Sentinels knew the physical game would carry over and be a part of the results on Saturday. With Topeka's goaltender securing his second shutout of the season on Friday Indiana had plenty to prove as they came in having yet to find a victory over the Crows this season.

Similarly to Friday night we saw a lot of uninterrupted play to kick off Saturday night's game. 5:03 into the first period Zach Ross pinched in and fired a shot high over the shoulder of Cooper Olson for the 1-0 lead for Topeka. Later in the period,16:57, Indiana took advantage of a turnover that gave a 2-on-1 opportunity against the Scarecrows and allowed Ben Stefanini to tuck one behind Sammy Bernard to tie the game up at 1-1.

Indiana started off the second with their first lead of the weekend as Brady Estabrook found a small opening behind Bernard to give the Sentinels the 2-1 lead 2:51 into the period. 2:05 later Ross picked up a rebound from Scott Coash at the blueline and rifled it over the head of Olson for the tying goal 2-2. Late in the period, recent returner Denver Craig took aim and found net through Topeka's defensive line and gave Indiana the lead heading into the third.

Despite being down, Topeka continued to battle in the third period and Zach Pires lit the lamp on a perfect setup from Jacob Gagnon at 5:09 of the third. It would take until the overtime period, but the Scarecrows found a way to get the puck to Gagnon and he lit the lamp behind Olson for the 4-3 overtime victory.

Bernard stopped 28 of 31 for the victory, his 7th of the season.
