Manchester Monarchs News Release
MANCHESTER, N.H. - David Van Der Gulik, Zach O'Brien and Jordan Weal each had two-point nights as the Monarchs beat Springfield, 4-2 at the Verizon Wireless Arena on Friday.
The win tonight improves the Monarchs' (30-11-4-2) record against Springfield (28-18-4-0) to 2-1-1-0 and was the club's 30th win of the season.
"They [Weal, O'Brien and Van der Gulik] were really good tonight," Head Coach Mike Stothers said. "It's a great combination of three guys. I was happy to see them rewarded, not only with some goals, but there were other chances created by those guys."
The Monarchs opened the scoring at 4:54 of the opening period with a Nick Ebert slap shot from the point.
Manchester added to their lead with a goal from O'Brien at the 3:30 mark of the second period.

The Monarchs return to action at the Verizon Wireless Arena tomorrow when they host Bridgeport at 3 p.m.
