The Mayhem hung tight with the Pensacola Ice Flyers for two and half periods of play, but would eventually fall 6-3 on Wednesday night. The Ice Flyers remained undefeated at The Hangar and left the Mayhem searching for answers defensively.
Pensacola came out strong to start the first period with Tommasso Bucci firing a rebound past Cody Porter. The Mayhem took a pair of early penalties and tested Pensacola’s league-low Power Play unit. After killing off the pair of penalties, the Mayhem would allow Garrett Milan a breakaway from the blue line which he would capitalize on. The Mayhem would pull a goal back with 5:43 left in the first with heavy traffic around the net. Stathis Soumelidis would take advantage and snap the puck by goaltender Jake Kupsky after a nice pass from Danny Cesarz.
