The Charlotte Checkers fell behind by two goals in the third period, but battled back for a 5-4 overtime victory against the Gwinnett Gladiators on Sunday afternoon. The Checkers have won six straight at Time Warner Cable Arena.
Tyler Doig registered a "Gordie Howe hat trick" - two goals, an assist and a fighting major - and scored the winner on a penalty shot in overtime.
In the third period, Charlotte's David Marshall scored the tying goal with 12 seconds to play after the Checkers pulled their goaltender. In overtime, Doig skated in alone on goaltender David Brown, but was hauled down. Doig was awarded a penalty shot and beat Brown for the victory.
"Renny (T.J. Reynolds) gave me a great pass and I was hauled down and made the best of the penalty shot," said Doig. "We have so much character that when we're down, we're never out."
