The Aberdeen Wings once again had to dig out of a hole Friday night against the Johnstown Tomahawks. Lukas Klemm was able to get Johnstown on the board early in the first, with a shot from the point finding the back of the net just 1:34 into the game. Bennett Koupal was able to tie things up 10 minutes later when he netted his first goal of the season with the assists going to Wisener. Justin Rapp would get the only goal of the 2nd period to give the Tomahawks a 2-1 lead heading into the final 20 minutes. Early in the 3rd Nick White would give Johnstown a 2 goal lead with the eventual game winner just 1:16into the period. Logan Gravink would make things interesting down the stretch, scoring his 2nd of the year, at the 14:20 mark. Assisting on the Gravink goal was Backel & Reim.
