![]() Slavin is averaging a point-per-game in his four contests with the Gulls (2-2=4), and nearly matched his goal total in his previous 51 games with the Rockford IceHogs. The tally marks the quickest goal in San Diego’s American Hockey League history to start an overtime, besting Jamie Drysdale’s game-winning tally just 17 seconds into overtime on Feb. "We came back with speed on the breakout and I had a lot of speed coming (in), just trying to use that d-man as a screen, and luckily the muffin went in," Slavin joked after the game. He used Tucson’s Will Reilly, snapping a shot through the defenseman’s legs and by a screened Ivan Prosvetov to end the game just 15 seconds into overtime. The Gulls captain quickly moved it across the ice to Slavin, who took the puck and carried it into the offensive zone. The defenseman slowly carried the puck down to his own goal line before moving it, finding De Leo out near the blue line. San Diego established possession in the extra session, with Slavin winning the faceoff back to Del Zotto. Michael Carcone and Cameron Hebig tallied goals for Tucson, who dropped back-to-back contests and could see their hold on the Pacific Division’s seventh and final playoff spot drop to three points with a San Jose Barracuda win tonight. Guys are humpin' on pucks and stopping, and we're not giving up the big chances like we were a month or so ago. I think we're playing a 200-foot game, we're above pucks. We're actually starting to look like a team. You take tonight.I hate to say too little, too late, but hopefully not. "I think if you really look back at it, our last three games have been pretty good," Gulls head coach Roy Sommer said. "I mean, you take the Ontario game and even the game against Henderson, I thought we played real well. Chase De Leo (1-1=2) and Michael Del Zotto (0-2=2) added multi-point games for the Gulls, who received 29 saves from goaltender Gage Alexander in the win. It marks the second consecutive multi-point contest for the center. Josiah Slavin scored the game-winning tally, part of a 1-1=2 point performance. The team’s success after regulation continued tonight in Tucson with a 3-2 overtime win over the Roadrunners at Tucson Convention Center. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s something about overtime that brings out the best in the San Diego Gulls.
