Chris Connor's two goals and Daniil Gerasimov's 24 saves were not enough as the Revolution lost a tough game to the New Jersey Junior Titans by a 5-2 score.
"It was a tough game," said EHL Revolution Head Coach James Laux. "The game did not go our way. We have been playing seven games in 10 days, a majority of the time on the road, and it's been a reason why we haven't been on top of our game this week."
Jordan Dempster led the Junior Titans on the offensive front with two goals and an assist. Also scoring for New Jersey were forwards Jordan Klotz, Anthony Cusanelli, and Michael Zidansek.
Goaltender Justin Kirk earned the win in net, stopping 37 of 39 shots on goal.
"Kirk played a great game in net," said Coach Laux, "and we cannot take that away from him. We definitely had the shots, but he outplayed our forwards and made some stellar saves."
Today's loss finalizes the team's regular season record to 19-23-2-0, good for 40 points in the standings and fourth place in the EHL South division. Their seeding and playoff schedule for the playoffs will be determined later today.
"Mental and physical rest is needed right now. Our goal is to get everybody back into top shape and ready for the opening playoff round."
