Walleye come up empty at Kalamazoo in final game of road trip

KALAMAZOO — A busy weekend for the Toledo Walleye ended with a thud Sunday as the team lost 5-0 to the Kalamazoo Wings, ending a six-game win streak.

After gutting out an overtime win at Cincinnati on Friday and a shootout victory in Kalamazoo on Saturday, the Walleye were unable to make it three road wins in as many days. Toledo out-shot the Wings 44-28, but the hosts dominated the scoreboard.

Blake Christensen opened the scoring for Kalamazoo 5:23 into the first period, and Collin Saccoman made it 2-0 less than two minutes before the first intermission. The Walleye trailed despite doubling up the Wings on shots in the period, 14-7.

Lee Lapid scored for Kalamazoo (27-27-5) in the second before Ben Berard added two goals, including one on a power play, to make it 5-0 after 40 minutes of play. Toledo put 19 shots on goal in the third period but still could not beat goaltender Jonathan Lemieux, who finished with 44 saves.

Carter Gylander, who played the entire game at Cincinnati and two periods plus overtime on Saturday, made 23 saves for the Walleye to cap a long three days of action.

Toledo (39-15-8), which clinched its ECHL playoff spot Saturday, returns home to the Huntington Center next weekend for two games against the Wheeling Nailers and one against the Bloomington Bison. Friday’s puck drop against Wheeling is at 7:15 p.m.
