David Whitworth beat Prestifilippo in overtime as the Generals won 2-1. Justin Appenzeller / News & Record In overtime, Brian Loney's check pushed a defender off the puck in the Pee Dee zone. Whitworth scooped up the loose puck, skated in 30 feet on a breakaway and beat former Generals goalie J.R. Prestifilippo with a high shot on the stick side at 1:58. "It's just a play that developed from having a guy in good defensive position," Generals coach Graeme Townshend said. "(Loney) made a good play to create the turnover, and we were in position to take advantage of it. It's just good, sound hockey." |
