Knight Monsters sweep in Texas, head back to Tahoe after series in Utah

The Tahoe Knight Monsters defeated the Allen Americans 4-3 on the road in a jam-packed Wednesday night showdown. Adam Robbins scored twice, Sloan Stanick notched the game-winning goal on the power play, and Jesper Vikman won his second straight start with a 24-save effort.

This is Tahoe’s first-two game sweep of the season, and the two points vault them up to fourth in the mountain division.

On Tuesday, the Tahoe Knight Monsters defeated Allen 4-3 in OT in a back-and-forth affair that included three lead changes and two separate comebacks. Pinard called the game in the extra frame, and netminder Jesper Vikman rebounded with a strong showing, saving 22 of 25 shots seen.

After getting blitzed in back-to-back contests against Idaho coming into the game, this was a crucial win for Tahoe, who will now look to gain some momentum in a four-game week.

Tahoe next turns their attention to the Tulsa Oilers on Saturday and Sunday for a two-game set. The puck drop on Saturday is at 5:05.

The Knight Monsters head back to Lake Tahoe for games against the Utah Grizzlies on Thursday, Dec. 12, and Saturday, Dec. 14. Both games start at 7 p.m.

Saturday's matchup is the Teddy Bear Toss. This is one of the most festive games of the season. Bring a new teddy bear or stuffed animal to the game. The stuffie gets thrown onto the ice when the Knight Monsters score, and then they are scooped up to donate to children's charities.
