Manchester Monarchs News Release
MANCHESTER, N.H. - Doug Carr's 32 saves weren't enough, as the Manchester Monarchs were blanked by the Adirondack Thunder, 2-0, Sunday afternoon at the Verizon Wireless Arena.
The Monarchs (16-9-0-1) split their home-and-home series against the Thunder (15-3-1-1) with both teams winning on the road.
