Worcester IceCats News Release
WORCESTER, MA- Curtis Sanford made 26 saves and Johnny Pohl scored twice as the Worcester IceCats shutout the Portland Pirates 4-0 Friday night at Worcester's Centrum Centre. Rookies Aaron Mackenzie and Mike Glumac also scored, with Glumac extending his point-streak to an IceCats season-high eight games.
Glumac's two-point effort bumped up his eight game totals to 12 points (6/6/12). He leads the IceCats and is among the best in the entire AHL rookie class with 24 goals and 46 points. Pohl also extended a scoring streak, elevating his run to five games. Both of his goals came in the first after MacKenzie caromed in a fluke goal off the boards from the neutral zone at 7:20. Pirates netminder Rastislav Stana had vacated the net to play the intended dump in behind the cage, only to helplessly stagger back into the goal crease with his team down 1-0. Pohl followed with a pair of rebound goals.
Glumac gave the âCats the 4-0 advantage with a 30 foot wrister at 8:05 of the second. It was Sanford's show the rest of the way, as he earned his 15th win this season and his fourth shutout.
Worcester has now won four-in-a-row at home and three-in-a-row overall. They continue to occupy third place in the Atlantic Division with 76 points and 11 games left in the regular season.
After the game, it was announced that the St. Patrick's themed sweaters that had brought the IceCats a pair of victories, raised $26,000 in an auction. The money will go directly to the Worcester Parks and Recreation Department.
Next Home Game â The IceCats host the Lowell Lock Monsters this Friday afternoon at 4:05 PM.
