Revs Come From Behind to Beat Washington Jr. Nationals

 WARMINSTER, PA - The Eastern Hockey League Philadelphia Revolution (16-20-2-0) came from behind to defeat the Washington Junior Nationals (4-32-1-1) at The Rink at Warwick by a 3-2 score on Wednesday afternoon.

Revolution forward Riley Egan scored the game-winning goal 30 seconds into the third period after his team scored two unanswered to tie the game at two in the second.  The captain's 13th goal of the season was his first since January 11th.  

"It was about time for me to get back in the goal column," said Egan, "but more importantly, we as a team came together and battled back for the win.  It shows when everyone is doing the right thing on and off the ice."  

Ken Tencza and Zachary England scored the other two goals for the Revolution.  Goaltender Daniil Gerasimov earned the win in net, stopping 27 of 29 shots on net.   

"It was a good all-around team win," said EHL Revolution Head Coach James Laux.  "We had to make some adjustments in the second period, but we were able to pull through and preach the kind of game we have been playing all season."

Junior National forwards Mitchell McLean and Taylor Cox scored two goals in a 35-second span to give their team a 2-0 lead early in the second period.  Net minder Anthony Giordano received the loss in net, allowing three goals in 44 shots.  

"Giordano played a really good game and made some really phenomenal saves," said Gerasimov.  "It was nice to have that special battle against a solid goalie like him.  He helped make this game both exciting and competitive."

The Revolution will be playing in the President's Day EHL Showcase up in Walpole, Massachusetts this weekend.  The team will be playing on Saturday the 15th against the Valley Junior Warriors (14-18-3-5), Sunday the 16th against the Boston Bandits (20-13-3-2), and Monday the 17th against the Boston Junior Rangers (14-20-2-3).

"This is the last showcase of the season," said Coach Laux, "and the three games we are playing this weekend are going to be huge for us in the standings.  We want to use this weekend to set the tone for the playoffs."
