St. Louis forces decisive Game Five with 3-2 victory
FLINT -- A third-period comeback from a two-goal deficit by the Michigan Warriors had Perani Arena rocking, but the enthusiasm would be short-lived. St. Louis' Patrick Sheehan scored with just 1:05 remaining in regulation to break a 2-2 deadlock, eventually leading to a 3-2 Bandits victory to even the North Division at two wins apiece.
Trailing 2-0 after two full periods, the Warriors finally broke through courtesy of goals from Scott Henegar and Ryan Green. Goaltender Robert Tadazak was again solid, with 36 saves, but his efforts would not be enough to prevent a winner-take-all Game Five Monday night in St. Louis. Face-off is at 8:05 Eastern time.
Saturday night's loss was the first of the post-season for the Warriors at Perani Arena, who fell to 3-1 on home ice.
