Landon Peterson earned his first shutout of the season for the Alaska Avs, stopping all 32 shots he faced en route to a 2-0 win over the Dawson Creek Rage.
The Avs took the first game 3-1, and lost game two 5-2 but rebounded strongly, shutting down the Rage's slot presence all game long to preserve the goose egg for Peterson.
Hometown netminder Andrew Walsh faced 47 shots in net for the Rage. Jake Williams put the Avs on the board with six minutes to go in the first period with a point blast that caromed off a leg in front and under Walsh's blocker. Seven minutes into the second, Andy Pearson jammed home a loose puck in front of Walsh on his third crack at the biscuit to put the Avs up 2-0.
Andrew Walsh dropped to 0-4 on the season while Landon Peterson improved to 4-4. The Rage are now 2-4-1 on the season and the Avs 4-5-0.
The Rage went 0-for-10 on the powerplay while the Avs were 2-for-12. Action resumes for the DC Rage on Friday at the Encana Events Centre as they host the Kenai River Brown Bears.
