Express falls 4-2 to Greenville

The Chicago Express dropped its second straight game to the Road Warriors as Greenville snapped a 2-2 tie late in the third period for a 4-2 victory at the Sears Centre on Sunday.

After falling behind early in their first two games of the weekend, the Express jumped on the board first at 3:47 when Pierre-Luc Faubert fended off two Road Warriors defenders and flicked the puck over the shoulder of Jason Missiaen.

After the Road Warriors took a 2-1 lead at 16:02 of the second period, the Express waited just 52 seconds to tie it again.

Scott Wietecha hustled to join a 2-on-1 rush and tapped home a pass from Chad Painchaud.

The Road Warriors regained the lead at 9:48 when D Wes Cunningham fired a shot into traffic that deflected off the body of Bowers and into the Chicago net, giving Greenville a 3-2 lead. Greenville held the one goal lead late into the period, forcing Chicago to pull their netminder in favor of the extra-attacker. Greenville F Marc-Olivier made the Express pay for the gamble, as he tucked the puck into the empty net for the final 4-2 score.
