Bridgeport Islanders News Release
PORTLAND, MAINE - Goaltender Wade Dubielewicz stopped each of the 31 shots he faced in the Bridgeport Sound Tigers' 2-0 win over the Portland Pirates at the Cumberland County Civic Center on Saturday night. Dubielewicz won his second game in as many nights and earned first star honors in the second game in a row.
The Sound Tigers won their first shutout of the year, got their second straight victory, and improved to 5-3-0-2; the Atlantic Division-leading Pirates, meanwhile, fell to 7-4-0-1.
Dubielewicz and his counterpart, Michael Leighton, were locked in a scoreless battle for two-and-a-half periods before the Sound Tigers struck for two goals just 1:13 apart to quickly seize control of the game. Defenseman Kevin Mitchell scored his first goal of the season at 9:57 of the third period to snap the tie. The Sound Tigers got some insurance at 11:10 of the period when Steve Regier set up Jeff Tambellini for his fifth goal, and second in as many nights. Rick Berry, celebrating his birthday, also picked up an assist on Tambellini's tally.
Bridgeport's second-ranked American Hockey League penalty kill left Portland's fifth-ranked power play scoreless on five chances. The Sound Tigers earned five of a possible eight points during a stretch of four consecutive road games and have earned 11 of a possible 16 points in eight road games overall.
The Sound Tigers return to action for their third game in as many days with a home date against the rival Hartford Wolf Pack Sunday at the Arena at Harbor Yard at 4 p.m. There will be children's activities at the Arena to celebrate Kids' Opening Day and Storm the mascot's sixth birthday.
