Jake Eldred scored Tiger goal in 2-1 loss to New Prague
Austin Kilian scored with 1:10 to play in the game and New Prague edged Farmington, 2-1, Thursday night in New Prague.
Victor Simones made 33 saves in the loss. The Tigers (5-6-2, 2-2-1) were outshot 35-26 for the game.
“We’re playing good hockey,” head coach Keith Revels said. “Boys are disappointed with late goal to lose this one but bigger picture shows that we continue to be competitive.”
The two teams skated to a scoreless first period and traded goals in the second. Jake Eldred opened the scoring at 3:35 with help from Blake Weinand to put the Tigers on top.
“Eldred had nice quick transition goal that got him behind defenders all alone,” Revels said. “We had some [other] great looks that just would not fall for us.”
The Trojans would tie the score on Kain Wagner’s goal at 9:53. The score remained tied until Kilan’s goal broke the tie at 15:50. Joe Morris made 25 stop for New Prague. The one goal output by Farmington matches a season low.
The Tigers return to action Saturday as they host Simley at 1 p.m. at Schmitz-Maki Arena.
