"I thought the Junior Flyers played a very good game," said Revolution Head Coach James Laux. "They did a good job handling us in our own net. I thought we played good defensively but we were unable to make plays in our defensive zone when we won the puck on the face-off. We need to be able to play less in our zone so we can play the puck in the other end."
Trailing by two goals in the third period, the Revolution fought back with a power play goal by Ken Tencza at the 5:44 mark to make it 3-2. After the Junior Flyers increased their lead back to two on a Jeffery Beck breakaway goal, captain Riley Egan answered back with a goal of his own with under two minutes remaining.
"Despite the score," said Laux, "we fought back. We still, however, need to capitalize on those big opportunities that could've been the game changer."
Revolution forward Zachary England scored his first goal in the EHL with three minutes remaining in the first period to tie the game at one. Goaltender Jacob Caffrey received the loss in net, stopping 35 of 39 shots.
Scoring for the visiting Junior Flyers were Beck and Thomas Crabtree with two goals apiece. Goaltender Tommy Bay earned the win in net with 23 saves.
