Maine Mariners News Release
GLENS FALLS, NY - A pair of special teams goals and another outstanding performance by Brad Arvanitis lifted the Maine Mariners to a 2-1 win over the Adirondack Thunder on Tuesday night in Game 6 of the North Division Semifinals. The series is tied 3-3 with the decisive Game 7 to played on Wednesday night at Cool Insuring Arena.
The Mariners used the power play to net the only goal of the opening period and grab a 1-0 lead. At 16:53, after Owen Pederson's quick shot caromed off the pad of Isaac Poulter, Ethan Ritchie ripped it under the crossbar to open the scoring.
Maine's 1-0 lead lasted into the late stages of the 2 nd period, when Tristan Ashbrook finally got the Thunder on the board. Thunder defenseman Ryan Conroy flipped a backhand pass from the right faceoff circle to the front of the net, and Ashbrook tipped in his series-leading fourth goal. The game entered the third tied 1-1.
