Railers Get Zonked in Manchester

January 3, 2018 - ECHL (ECHL)
Worcester Railers HC News Release


Manchester, NH - The Worcester Railers HC (12-13-2-2, 28pts) closed out 2017 with a last minute 4-2 loss to the first place Manchester Monarchs (21-10-1-1, 44pts) in front of 7,118 fans at the SNHU Arena on Sunday evening. 

Neither team found the back of the net in the first period as Railers goaltender Mitch Gillam made several nice stops and had 14 saves total through 20 minutes of play. Worcester was only able to manage seven shots on Charles Williams in a quick moving opening frame.

The Railers had good buzz to open the second frame and Nick Saracino (3rd) was able to tap home a loose puck rebound at 2:31 after the initial shot by Kellen Jones was stopped by Charles Williams. The Monarchs would answer back with a pair of goals just 2:23 apart midway through the period. Michael Doherty (7th) scored his 5th goal against the Railers this season at 11:00 followed by a goal mouth scramble strike by Zac Lynch (16th) at 13:23. Worcester trailed 2-1 through 40 minutes of play as shots were 20-19 Monarchs.
