The Daily: Cossa, Walleye Rally To Win; Where’s Kuznetsov going?

The Toledo Walleye erased a three-goal deficit to defeat the Idaho Steelheads 5-4 as Detroit Red Wings prospect goalie Sebastian Cossa raised his postseason record to 5-1 in the ECHL playoffs

Cossa posted 26 saves in the game, including 10 in the third period when the Steelheads were blanked.

Brandon Hawkins scored the game-winning goal for the Walleye with 2:31 left in regulation. Red Wings prospect defenseman Seth Barton assisted on that goal.

The Steelheads own a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, but the next two games are in Toledo.
