Brendan Connolly didn't score a goal in the Alaska Aces' first nine hockey games this season and was stuck on one goal through 13 games.

History said that funk would not last.

Connolly scored two goals Wednesday night – that gives him seven in the last six games – to help spur the Aces to a 5-4 ECHL victory over the Colorado Eagles at Sullivan Arena.

That outburst gives the veteran winger 15 goals in 39 games, which is more like his usual production. After all, Connolly has scored 22 or more goals in each of the last four ECHL seasons.
