12/11 Recap: Persson steps in

Dennis Persson picked up an even-strength assist while totaling 21:35 of time on Timra's second pair as the Eagles defeated Farjestad, 4-3 in overtime. The 6'1 defenseman just missed a scoring opportunity of his own when he rang a shot off the pipe in the third period. Blueliners Mikko Lehtonen and Robin Jonsson were both ill, causing the drastic spike in time for Persson after failing to get a shift in Tuesday's loss. The helper was his fourth point in 30 games this season.
