A Quick Look Back

1.24.07 - Worcester 3 - Lowell 2

Back on home ice and back in 4th place in the Atlantic Division after Sunday's victory at Lowell, the Sharks defeated the Houston Aeros by a score of 3-2 on Wednesday night in the teams' first meeting of the season. Dimitri Patzold finished with 22 saves, while Brad Staubitz, Mike Iggulden and Tomas Plihal scored the goals.

1.26.07 - Worcester 2 - Binghamton 1

The Sharks won their fifth straight home game at the DCU Center on Friday night by a score of 2-1. Sharks defensemen Patrick Traverse and Scott Ferguson provided all the offense for Team Teal in the first period to up their record to 22-16-1-6. Dimitri Patzold won his fourth consecutive win of the season with 28 saves.

1.27.07 - Providence 5 - Worcester 2

In front of a capacity crowd of 7,230 at the DCU Center, the Worcester Sharks fell to division rival Providence by a margin of 5-2 on Friday night. A 5-0 advantage would hold into the third period, until Worcester finally solved Providence goaltending. Patrick Traverse found Mike Iggulden out in front of the net, and the Sharks' second-leading goal scorer tallied his 16th of the year to narrow the deficit to 5-1. Iggulden would strike again on an assist from Brady Leisenring with just over a minute remaining in regulation to produce the final score of 5-2 in favor of the Bruins.

Dimitri the Dominator...

Dimitri Patzold had another fantastic week after going 2-0 with wins against the Houston Aeros and Binghamton Senators. Patzold is 4-0 in his last four starts and has a 106 total saves. In those four games, the netminder averaged less than two goals per game with just seven goals getting past him. In 15 games played, Patzold is 8-3-3 with a 3.30 goals-against average.

Staubitz Scores...

In his second professional hockey season, Brad Staubitz registered his first career goal on January 24 against the Houston Aeros.
