Maine Mariners News Release
PORTLAND, ME - The Maine Mariners, proud affiliates of the NHL's Boston Bruins and AHL's Providence Bruins, snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory on Sunday afternoon against the Norfolk Admirals. A sellout crowd of 5,765 turned out to watch Luke Cavallin backstop the Mariners to victory with a 40 save effort.
The Mariners were able to net a pair of first period strikes to grab the early 2-0 lead, kickstarted by Owen Gallatin's first professional goal at 5:56. Sebastian Vidmar slid one across the zone to the rookie defenseman at the left circle for a shot up over the stick side of Norfolk netminder Logan Stein. Less than three minutes later, Lynden McCallum, coming down on a 2-on-1, ripped one past Stein to double the lead.
Norfolk pushed hard in the second and broke through with a goal from Marko Reifenberger at 8:45, slicing the Maine lead in half. Mariners forward Jacob Hudson flipped momentum with a goal at 14:34, coming up with a turnover and stepping into the top of the left circle to make it 3-1. In the final minute of the period, Tristan Thompson scored an impressive end-to-end goal during 4-on-4 to push the Maine lead to three.
In the third, Brooklyn Kalmikov added a fifth Mariners goal with a backhander out in front at 3:38, tying Cam Askew for the second most career goals in franchise history (47). Luke Cavallin was named the number one star of the game, stopping a season high 40 of 41 Norfolk shots. The Mariners now have points in six consecutive home games (4-0-2).
The Mariners (8-4-2-1) head back on the road, traveling to Norfolk next Friday and Saturday night for a pair of 7:05 PM faceoffs. The next home game is Saturday, December 6th against the Adirondack Thunder - the annual Teddy Bear Toss, presented by Bath Savings. The puck drops at 6:00 PM.
