Mammoth Fall To Swarm In Preseason Tilt
The Colorado Mammoth fell 17-8 to the Minnesota Swarm on Saturday night at Odeum Colorado. The preseason game, which was closed to the public, marked just the second outing for Colorado, which is now 1-1 in exhibition action.
Minnesota opened the game with a 6-2 run early in the contest and finished the game with a 9-2 streak covering the final two+ periods.
In a game filled with the spirit of a midseason rivalry, this contest featured several fights between players on the two clubs.
Colorado was led in scoring by brothers Ilija and Alex Gajic - who netted two goals each. Cory Conway added a pair of goals while assisting on two others. With less than two weeks to final roster cuts, the Mammoth rotated three goalies in net throughout the night. Andy Leyshon, Curtis Palidwor and Neil Tyacke all saw action against a feisty Swarm offense that was firing on all cylinders Saturday.
These two teams will see each other often during the 2010 season, and face off again next Friday, December 18 in preseason action at Pepsi Center. The Mammoth opens the 2010 regular season on the road against the Washington Stealth on January 9. The home-opener is one week later as Colorado hosts the Edmonton Rush at Pepsi Center on Saturday, January 16. 2010 Mammoth season tickets are on-sale now. Single game tickets for the Mammoth go on sale Friday, December 18.
