Monarchs Dethroned by Railers
November 21, 2017 - ECHL (ECHL)
Manchester Monarchs News Release
WORCESTER, MA - Seven games in ten days proved to be too much for the Manchester Monarchs, as they fell, 4-1, to the Worcester Railers on Sunday afternoon at the DCU Center.
The Monarchs (8-7-1-1) dropped their third game of the season to the Railers (7-6-1-0), and will head west to Utah over Thanksgiving to take on the Grizzlies.
Manchester opened the scoring when Zac Lynch scored a power-play goal at 11:27 of the first period. Lynch took a pass in the slot off the stick of Matt Leitner from the right dot and fired a one-timer past the blocker of Railers netminder, Eamon McAdam, for his 6th goal of the season.
Worcester tied the game at 9:47 of the second period when Ashton Rome scored while shorthanded for his 5th tally of the season. Rome entered the Monarchs zone on a partial breakaway, took a shot that Monarchs goaltender Charles Williams stopped, but the rebound kicked directly back to Rome who buried the puck through Williams to make it a 1-1 game.
The Railers took their first lead of the game when Kellen Jones scored the second shorthanded goal of the game for Worcester at 12:31 of the middle frame. Jones found himself all alone on a breakaway and beat the glove of Williams for his 4th goal of the season, to put the Railers up, 2-1.
Worcester added to their lead at 7:42 of the 3rd period when Kyle McKenzie scored his 2md goal of the season. A shot from the high slot off the stick of Mike Cornell didn't make it on net, but bounced to McKenzie at the top of the left dot where he fired a slap shot over the glove of Williams to make the score, 3-1, Worcester.
The Railers put the icing on the cake when Matt Gaudreau scored an empty-net-goal with 48.5 seconds left in the third period. Gaudreau chased the puck down after a long clearing attempt by Nick Saracino, and buried the puck into the yawning cage to end the scoring at 4-1.
The Monarchs are back on the ice Wednesday, Nov. 22 (7:05 p.m.) when they travel to the Maverik Center to take on the Utah Grizzlies for the first time in franchise history.
