Playing their final game before the Christmas holiday, the St. Louis Park Orioles got the tying goal from Griffin Krone with :12.4 left in regulation time to tie Minneapolis 5-5 on a frigid Friday night at The Rec Center.
Teddy Dahlin would put the Orioles ahead as he scored off a pass from Max Rider. Minneapolis would tie the game at one on Hank Davis' goal. St. Louis Park would strike twice, starting with Krone's rebound goal, followed by Max Rider :46 later.
Minneapolis would score the first two goals of the second period, both coming from Max Pankratz. The Orioles would get their lone goal of the period when Henry Schultz lined a shot from the left face off circle and it would land in the net. Pankratz would get the hat trick :26 later. Ronan Davis would wrap up the second period scoring when he got a pass from Andrew Lybeck and sent it to the net.
It looked like Minneapolis would get their second win of the season in the third period as the scoreboard did not budge. But wait. With 1:31 left in regulation time, St. Louis Park head coach Tyler Brodersen pulled goalie Josh Middleton for a sixth attacker and they would capitalize on the extra man when Krone drove the puck past the right side of Minneapolis goalie Griffin Simpson and over the goal line with :12.4 to go and the game would enter overtime where nobody would score the game winning goal.
Minneapolis improved their record to 1-4-1 and they will play in the opening round of the Herb Brooks Holiday Classic on Monday, December 26 at 1:30 PM at the Super Rink in Blaine. The game will be played on Rink 4. St. Louis Park extended their unbeaten streak to four games and now has a record of 3-3-1. They will be back in action in the opening round of the Tradition Classic on Tuesday, December 27 at noon against the Champlin Park Rebels.
