Series shifts to Muskegon Saturday night
FLINT -- David Rohlfs' rebound goal with 2:45 left in the 2nd period proved to be the winner as the Muskegon Lumberjacks took a 3-1 series lead over the Flint Generals with a 5-2 victory Thursday night. Muskegon took a 2-0 lead in the 1st period on goals by Damian Surma and Robin Bouchard, but the Generals came out storming early in the second scoring 2 goals in 26 seconds before the period was two minutes old to tie the game at 2 each.
Captain Pascal Rheaume scored the first, and John Ronan scored the second.
Both teams traded chances throughout the period until Rohlfs finally connected. In the 3rd, Muskegon scored their insurance goal when Billy Collins knocked a pass out of the air on a 2 on 1 into the Generals net. Todd Robinson scored the 5th goal into an empty net to close out any chance the Generals had on the night.
