Manchester Monarchs News Release
MANCHESTER, N.H. - The Manchester Monarchs could not make the grade and fell to the Elmira Jackals, 2-1, Wednesday morning at the Verizon Wireless Arena for Education Day.
The Monarchs (6-6-0-0) outshot the Jackals (6-7-0-0) each period for a final total of 47-19, but despite ample opportunities and seven power plays, they could not find the back of Jackals goaltender, Nikolas Lundstrom's, net.
"We didn't win the special teams battle, and that hurt us today," Head Coach Rich Seeley said. "We did a lot of good things this morning and I thought we deserved a better result. Some little things cost us, and we are going to have to improve those areas."
Spiro Goulakos opened the scoring for the Jackals at 9:32 of the first period. Goulakos scored on the power play when he tipped in a rebound low glove side off of Justin Bernhardt's shot.
The Jackals extended their lead 2-0 in the second period at 14:15, when Scott Jacklin netted his 3rd goal of the season. Mark Bennett challenged Colin Stevens with a shot on his glove side. The rebound off Bennett's shot found Jacklin's stick in the front of the net and the forward stuffed the puck home.
Derek Arnold answered back for the Monarchs a minute and 15 seconds later at 15:30 of the second period. Arnold scored his 4th of the season when he tipped in a shot, top shelf, that Zac Larraza took from the hash marks on Lundstrom's glove side.
Despite a strong offensive effort in the third period with 18 shots on net, the Monarchs could not close the goal gap.
The Monarchs return to action and kick-off a three-game home stand against the Norfolk Admirals on Friday Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. in the Jungle.
