Box Score

Attendance 8,500

Another late collapse leads to another loss for the Wings.  Trailing 7-4 after thirty minutes the Wings went on a six goal run that stretched between the third and fourth quarter to take a 10 – 7 lead. Only to see the Seals awake from their slumber with a six goal fourth quarter to steal the victory and clip the Wings.

Casey Jackson led the Seals with three goals and three assists.  Josh Currier led the Wings with three goals and four assists. It sure did not look like 8,500 on the stream (when the stream was working.) Plenty of good seats available for Seals games.

San Diego improves to 7-4 and Philadelphia falls to 2-10.
