Portland, Maine - Brad Larsen and Tyler Ennis each scored a goal and an assist and Jhonas Enroth turned aside all 29 shots he faced as the Portland Pirates beat the Manchester Monarchs 4-0 in an American Hockey League game played tonight in front of 5,556 at the Cumberland County Civic Center.
Jeff Cowan and Paul Byron also scored for the Pirates, who ended a three game losing streak with the win. Portland improved to 36-21-5-3 on the season and moved four points ahead of the Monarchs in the race for second in the Atlantic Division.
Manchester dropped to 34-24-3-5 with the loss.
Larsen netted the lone goal of the first on a late power play to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead after one. The Pirates scored three more in the second as Cowan, Byron and Ennis helped Portland surge into a 4-0 advantage after two.
The shutout was the fifth of the season for Enroth.
