Worcester Sharks News Release
WORCESTER, MA - Jack Combs scored his 9th goal of the season for the only strike for the Sharks in a 3-1 in loss to the Manchester Monarchs at the DCU Center on Friday night.
Harri Sateri made 25 saves in goal for Worcester as coach Roy Sommer was denied his 500th AHL victory on home ice. The Sharks travel to Hershey on Saturday for a 7pm battle against the Bears.
Manchester Monarch Stefan Legein (7th) scored a power play goal on a deflected rebound at the side of the net at 8:54 for the only score in a rather eventful first period. Tim Kennedy, making his home debut for the Sharks, was stopped by Jeff Zatkoff on a penalty shot at 11:47 to keep the Sharks off the board. Two good scraps highlighted a feisty first period as Jimmy Bonneau (16th FM) and Justin Johnson (16th FM) fought each other for the 5th time this season at 2:32 and Curt Gogol (14th FM) dropped the mitts at 14:40 with Richard Clune (14th FM), The Sharks trailed 1-0 after 20 minutes with the Monarchs holding a 13-8 shot advantage.
Brandon Kozun (13th) gave Manchester a 2-0 edge just :53 seconds in the second period with a blast from on top of the circles past Harri Sateri. Matt Pelech (7th FM) tried to jump start the Sharks with a heavy hit on Marc-Andre Cliché and eventual fight with Jordan Hill (3rd FM) at 11:29. Worcester was held shotless in the first 18 minutes of the middle frame, but after Andrew Murray's shot on the power play was stopped by Jeff Zatkoff, Jack Combs (9th) slammed home a loose puck to get the Sharks on the board at 18:42. The Sharks fired only two shots in the middle frame but trailed by only a goal after 40 minutes.
Stefan Legein (8th) put the game away for the Monarchs with a breakaway shorthanded goal at 7:07 of the third period for a 3-1 Monarchs advantage. Worcester fired eight shots in the third period but Jeff Zatkoff shut the door shut the rest of the way.
