OFFICIALS—Referee, Dave Patrie; linesmen, John Heinrich and Eric Wingard.
NOTES—Still ahead 8-7 with about 90 seconds left in regulation, Park City's Zac Hedrick took a costly holding penalty that gave the Suns a big advantage, especially when goalie Colin Zulianello went off the ice in favor of an extra attacker with 30 seconds left. Sun Valley flooded the Silver Kings zone with skaters and Adam Swain picked up a puck in the crowded crease and put it home for his second goal of the game.....In overtime, a breakout pass by Vilnis Nikolaisons, from his knees, went across the ice to his buddy Ivars Muzis and up ahead to Jamie Ellison, then Nikolaisons was pulled down in the offensive zone for what turned out to be the decisive Suns power play. Ryan Enrico crossed the puck on the 4-on-3 and Adam Swain rebounded the game winner home. It was Swain's second Suns hat trick. His first hat trick came against the Silver Kings last Dec. 16 in a 12-2 Sun Valley victory .....Tonight was the third straight overtime game for the Suns dating back to last season, and the fifth consecutive 1-goal or 2-goal outcome dating back to last March's 8-7 and 8-6 Suns victories over the Silver Kings at Park City.....Starting goalie Ryan Thomson was realistic about coming out of the game after yielding 8 goals. "Fighting cobwebs, I guess, hey, what can I say, I have a good backup!" he said about Zulianello.....Suns forward lines were Ryan Enrico-Jamie Ellison-Vilnis Nikolaisons, Adam Swain-Paul Baranzelli-Jon Duval, John Stevens-Jeremy Mylymok-John Miller, plus a fourth line featuring Charles Friedman, Rian Timmons and Trevor Thomas. The defensemen were Chris Warrington-Jeremy Schreiber, Ivars Muzis-Eric Demment and Kris Webster-Josh Jacobson ... The Suns (5-8 in 13 shootouts since 1998) are now 31-23-20 in 74 OT games over 33 seasons. Here is a list of game-winning OT scorers in Suns history: Jamie Ellison 3, Paul Baranzelli 2, John Finnegan 2, Kurt Wenzell 2, Phil Hoene 2, Paul Cartmill 2, Ryan Enrico 2, Vilnis Nikolaisons 1, Adam Swain 1, Eric Demment 1, Luke Smith 1, Brian Watts 1, Tom Forti 1, Dale Johnson 1, Mark Broz 1, Pat Kearney 1, Rip Kirby 1, Terry Heneghan 1, Chas Riopel 1, Brian Saksa 1, Beets Johnson 1, Phil Hebert 1 and Sean O'Connell 1....
