Worcester, MA - Graham Mink scored twice and Thomas Greiss made 24 saves to lead the Worcester Sharks (19-15-1-6) to a 3-1 victory over the Lowell Devils (19-18-3-1) at the DCU Center Friday night.
The Devils and Sharks skated to a scoreless first period. Entering the game with a 2-0 record in Worcester this season, Lowell was strong on defense from the start. They allowed just four shots on goal in the opening 20 minutes, compared to nine of their own, but neither team lit the lamp.
Graham Mink put the Devils back on their heels in the middle frame. The second year winger and Vermont native scored twice in the period to put Worcester in command. His eighth of the season came 4:30 into the period, and he added his second of the game with a power play marker at 13:26. Worcester outshot Lowell in the period, peppering Frank Doyle with 12 shots on goal.
Lowell took control in the final period, fighting to get back in the game. They outshot the Sharks 10-6 in the last stanza, and finally got on the board. Chris Minard potted his team-leading 17th of the season from Tuomas Pihlman and Barry Tallackson on the power play at 6:06. The Devils had three more man advantages during the remainder of regulation, but could not close the gap. Lukas Kaspar added the insurance with an empty netter with 28 seconds left.
The Devils host a pair of games during the remainder of the weekend, starting with the Hartford Wolf Pack on Saturday night - a 7:05 p.m. start from the Tsongas Arena. On Sunday they face off against the Sharks again, in a 4:05 p.m. start. Every Sunday home game features a post-game public skate, free for everyone in attendance, courtesy of Jeanne D'Arc Credit Union.
