December 31, 2018 - ECHL (ECHL)
Newfoundland Growlers News Release
The Newfoundland Growlers closed out 2018 with a chippy 3-0 loss to the Adirondack Thunder in Glens Falls, New York.
The Thunder scored on their first shot of the first period, albeit 7:10 into the frame, off the stick of Dylan Walchuk. The Goal would end up being the Game Winner as the Growlers could not battle past Thunder Goaltender Alex Sakellaropoulos who made 19 stops for the shutout victory.

The Thunder would add a powerplay tally from Jake Linehard and an empty netter by Dylan Walchuk to cap off the victory.
