Blaisdell's Blast Beats Port Huron 3-2

The Motor City Rockers only lead the game for 30 seconds, but it was the right 30 seconds.

The Rockers downed the Port Huron Prowlers 3-2 on Wednesday evening to snap Port Huron's five game winning streak.

Port Huron got on the board early when Luke James helped deflect a puck in front of the net, trickling by Motor City's Rico Gonzalez to get the scoring started.

The Rockers would answer just 48 seconds later, when Jhuwon Davis found the back of the net for the second time in as many games to even the scoring at one a side.

The score would stay stagnant until more than midway into the second, when on an extended powerplay, Port Huron's Brett Lockhart ripped a shot into the top left corner, giving the Prowlers the lone goal in the frame, and the lead going into the third.

However, something was said or done in the Motor City locker room.

Coming out into the third period, after giving up 36 shots through 40 minutes, the Rockers held Port Huron without a shot for the first 13 minutes of the third.

In that time, Motor City newcomer Parker Williams found the puck on his stick off a rebound and fired it past Prowlers netminder Andrew McClean to even the score at 2-2 mid way through the third.

Neither side could break the tie, and the contest seemed destined for overtime, until a scrum in front of Gonzalez resulted in a Port Huron power play with just 1:35 left in regulation.

The Prowlers carried the play, until a shot that Gonzalez gloved drew a whistle. In the aftermath, James, who got the scoring started for the Prowlers, cross-checked Gonzalez.

The infraction drew a penalty, ending the Port Huron man advantage with just 40 seconds on the clock.

With the draw in the Prowler end, TJ Sneath won the draw. After a Dakota Bohn shot, the rebound cycled around to Doug Blaisdell in the right win circle.

Blaisdell let one rip past McClean for his first of the season and giving the Rockers the 3-2 lead with just 30 seconds left.

Port Huron could not answer in the final 30 seconds, and Motor City started their trilogy of games on the week with a win.

Motor City will rest up on Thursday, before a pair of games on the weekend.

Friday, the Rockers meet up with the Stockton Thunder for their first contest of the year, before seeing Danbury again on Saturday.

Friday's game will start at 7:30, while Saturday's bout begins at 6:30. All of the action will be available on the Rockers Media Network.
