Gutierrez Debuts In Johnstown (And Assorted Aces-Related Notes)

Comments (0) |

Winger Moises Gutierrez of Anchorage, released by the ECHL's Alaska Aces earlier this week after a short stint with the club, debuted with the league's Johnstown Chiefs tonight in their 4-3 win at Cincinnati.

Gutierrez was even with three shots on goal.

Since we're referencing former Aces, former Alaska blueliner Peter Metcalf racked two assists and was +2 with, get this, a fighting major, for Florida tonight in a 7-0 ECHL win at Charlotte. Former Aces goaltender Chris Beckford-Tseu bagged a 28-save shutout. (And Florida's Jacob Micflikier, no real Aces connection, furnished three goals and three assists to give him ridonkulous 6-8--14 and +10 totals in a mere six games).

In the AHL, erstwhile Aces center John Lammers was even with one shot on goal for Manitoba in a 4-1 loss at Houston. Lammers hasn't scored a point in five games with the Moose, and is -1 with 10 shots. (Moose forward Eric Walsky of Anchorage was -1 with one shot. He's 1-2--3 and even in 12 games).

Alaska's AHL affiliate, the Peoria Rivermen, beat visiting San Antonio 5-4 in a shootout. Former Aces center Julian Talbot scored his first goal of the season and scored in the shootout. Erstwhile Aces defenseman T.J. Fast was even, with one shot.
