Worcester Railers HC News Release
Worcester, MA - The Worcester Railers HC (8-8-2-1, 19pts) returned home but fell to the visiting Manchester Monarchs (12-7-1-1, 26pts) in front 4,248 fans at the DCU Center on a TRAX bobble giveaway presented by Worcester Telegram and Gazette.

The Railers came out of the gates buzzing and grabbed an early 1-0 lead in the opening five minutes. TJ Syner (2nd) snapped a quick shot after a nice feed from behind the net by his cousin Barry Almeida at 4:22 that beat goaltender Charles Williams. Manchester got on the board with a power play goal at 16:54 as Kevin Morris (9th) deflected home a Colton Saucerman shot past goaltender Eamon McAdam to tie the score at 1-1.
Manchester scored the only goal in the middle frame with another power play goal as Joel Lowry (9th) deflected a shot from on top of the crease at 11:56 to give Manchester a 2-1 lead. Eamon McAdam made ten saves in the second period as Worcester was outshot 11-8 and trailed 2-1 after forty minutes of play. The Monarchs took a two-goal lead with another power play goal at 10:43 of the third period as Matt Leitner (3rd) blazed a shot from the left circle through a screen. With the goaltender pulled, the Railers would strike at 17:51 as Chris Langkow (4th) fired a cross the slot pass on the one-timer into an empty net to cut the Monarchs lead to 3-2. Worcester would get a few more chances to tie as they fired 16 shots on goal in the third period but Manchester was able to hold off the late attack for the 3-2 road victory.
