KENT, Wash. — Jackson Berezowski became the Silvertips’ all-time leading goal-scorer Friday night in a back-and-forth affair that resulted in a 6-5 overtime win for the Seattle Thunderbirds.

Austin Roest opened the scoring 7:34 into the first period with his 27th goal of the season, answered in the first by a Kyle Crnkovic short-handed tally. Seattle jumped to a 3-1 advantage in the second period with goals by Coster Dunn and Nico Myatovic.

Berezowski netted his record-setting 113th career goal at 13:16, banging in a rebound to bring the Silvertips to within one. The goal catapults Berezowski past Patrick Bajkov for the franchise all-time lead, accomplished in 252 career games to Bajkov’s 342. He would strike for a second time in the game just 13 seconds into the third period, evening up the score at three with his 32nd goal of the season.
