Endy Strikes Twice as Wolves Earn a Point in Overtime in Carolina

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - What a night for Zeke Endy! Still searching for his first goal of the season, Endy delivered two of them tonight — the second a dramatic extra-attacker equalizer with just 54 seconds left in regulation — and Anthony Shrum made 44 saves, as the Watertown Wolves stormed back to earn a point in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Twin City Thunderbirds at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds Arena.

Endy announced himself in the second period, cutting a 2-0 Twin City lead to 2-1 at 19:07, finishing a feed from Donovan Powell and Brendan Hussey for his first goal of the year. Then, with Shrum pulled for the extra attacker and the clock winding down, Endy did it again at 19:06 of the third, from Michael Mania, to tie it 2-2 and send the Wolves bench into a frenzy — and the game to overtime.

Twin City had taken the lead in the second. Josh Koepplinger opened the scoring at 1:26, unassisted, and Joe McCormick made it 2-0 at 8:47, from Dylan Infantino and Charlie Bedard. Neither team scored in the first period.

In overtime, Twin City captain Zach White scored the winner at 3:55, unassisted and shorthanded, while the Thunderbirds were killing a cross-checking minor to Jack Johansen.

Shrum stopped 44 of 47 shots for Watertown. Twin City goaltender Alexandros Aslanidis stopped 24 of 26.

Power play: Watertown 0-for-3, Twin City 0-for-3. Shots: Watertown 26, Twin City 47. Wolves record: 0-8-3.
