Albany Devils News Release
PORTLAND, ME -- The Albany Devils couldn't complete the weekend sweep of the Portland Pirates, falling 2-0 Saturday at Cross Insurance Arena. A day after a 4-0 victory, the Devils were held off the score sheet for the first time since Apr. 5 at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Bolduc, who leads the Pirates with six goals and 14 points, found the back of the net at 7:19 of the second period. The tally ended a two-game goal drought of 169 minutes and came with helpers from Jordan Martinook and Greg Carey.
Eric Selleck sealed the win with an empty net goal with 38.6 seconds remaining in regulation.
After a 31-save, performance on Friday, Scott Clemmensen had his shutout streak halted at 103:32. The Devils netminder finished with 22 saves on 23 attempts.
The Pirates employed two goaltenders. Louis Domingue earned the win with 14 saves in 33:46 of play. He left during the second half of the middle frame after taking a blow from Paul Thompson.
