Worcester IceCats News Release
WORCESTER, MA â The Worcester IceCats edged the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 2-1 on the strength of Blake Evans' ninth goal of the season at 11:49. Evans game-winning goal was his third straight for the âCats and his league-leading sixth. He tipped an Aris Brimanis shot from the point just five seconds into their second power play.
The Penguins' potent line of Matt Murley, Kris Beech, and Michel Oullet struck to give the visitors a 1-0 lead at the 3:50 mark of the first. Brendan Brooks responded later in the frame, taking advantage of a fanned clearing attempt by goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. Brooks stole the puck and tucked it inside the far post to even the score at 17:19.
Jason Bacashihua made 32 saves for the win, his third in a row and seventh in the last eight outings.
