Manchester Monarchs News Release
Worcester, MA -Three power play goals from the Manchester Monarchs proved to be just enough as the club extended its current unbeaten streak to seven games with a 3-2 win at Worcester's Centrum Centre against the IcCats on Friday.
Eric Healey's power play goal at 17:14 of the third period was the game-winning tally. The goal, Healey's fourth, was assisted on by Mike Cammalleri.
The Monarchs are 6-0-1-0 in their last seven games.
The IceCats, enjoying a power play advantage, pulled goaltender Phil Osaer in the final minute of Friday's game and pressured goaltender Cristobal Huet for the game-tying goal. But Huet's save of a Jason Dawe slap shot with just seconds left sealed the Monarchs win.
For the game, the Monarchs finished 3 for 9 with the man advantage. The IceCats were 0 for 8.
The Monarchs and the IceCats each registered second period goals. Mark Rycroft intercepted Huet's clearing attempt from behind the Monarchs net and wheeled around to score into an open net at 5:45.
The Monarchs then used the power play to their advantage later in the period as Healey netted his third goal of the season at 16:06 to tie the game at 2-2. Steve Heinze and Cammalleri were credited with assists on the play.
The IceCats netted the first goal of the game short-handed. Blake Evans was credited with the score at 11:57 of period one. The goal was assisted by Jeff Panzer.
The Monarchs rallied seconds later, scoring on the power play at 12:33. Heinze extended his team-best goal streak to four games and his personal point streak to six games with the tally. Cammalleri and Healey assisted on the play.
The red-hot Monarchs hit the road again Saturday, playing at the Cumberland County Civic Center against the Portland Pirates. Game time is slated for 7:05 p.m.
