Erstwhile Alaska Aces winger Matt Stefanishion suited up for the Peoria Rivermen of the American Hockey League tonight, but put up zeroes across the board -- which was kind of how Peoria rolled in a 1-0 road loss to the Houston Aeros.

The Rivermen mustered just 16 shots on goal. 'Course, they only surrendered 21. In any event, Houston copped a power-play goal with about nine minutes to go to prosper.

Elsewhere in the 'A,' former UAF goaltender Chad Johnson, a rookie with the Hartford Wolf Pack, absorbed a 2-1 shootout loss to visiting Binghamton. Still, he stopped 35 shots. He's 8-4-1, with a 2.07 goals-against average, .928 save percentage and three shutouts. Hartford got to extra time courtesy of a late power-play strike by former UAA center Paul Crowder, another rookie, who bagged his third goal of the season but got denied in the shootout. Making his AHL debut for Binghamton was former UAA defenseman Mat Robinson, who rolled all zeroes.

Lastly, former Alaska Aces goalie Jean-Philippe Lamoureux stopped 29 shots for the Portland Pirates in a 5-3 win at Worcester. J.P. is 3-4-0 with a 3.07, .890 and one shutout.
