Worcester Sharks News Release
WORCESTER, MA -Sean Sullivan scored the Sharks third power play goal of the game with exactly six minutes remaining in the third period to propel Worcester to a 3-2 victory over the Manchester Monarchs at the DCU Center in Worcester on Saturday night.
Jonathan Cheechoo scored in his second straight game and Steven Zalewski added two assists in the victory. Alex Stalock made 18 saves in his 4th victory in net as the Sharks improved to 3-0-0-1 in their last four games.
Neither team would score in a defensive minded first period as the Sharks killed off two Manchester power play chances. Both Alex Stalock and Jeff Zatkoff were steady in goal as Worcester outshot the Monarchs 12-8 after a scoreless opening period.
The Sharks would strike for two consecutive power play goals to open the second period. Jonathan Cheechoo (5th) gave Worcester a 1-0 lead after he fired the puck past Zatkoff from on top of the crease after a terrific behind the back pass from behind the net by James Marcou at 2:55. Brandon Mashinter (4th) gave the Sharks a 2-0 lead at 4:50 with a quick snap shot from the left slot after a great feed by Steven Zalewski from the Monarch's goal line. Ray Kaunisto (2nd) got the Monarchs on the board at 8:02 on the breakaway and Oscar Moller (1st) deflected in a shot from on top of the circles by Dwight King at 14:41 to tie the score at 2-2. Shots were 15-14 in favor of Worcester through forty minutes of play.
Dwight King was whistled for boarding at 12:22 after he hit Nick Schaus from behind deep in the Sharks zone and the Worcester power play made him pay. Sean Sullivan (2nd) scored from behind the net after he fired the puck off Zatkoff and into the twine at 14:00 after Zatkoff could not handle the original shot by Zalewski. The Monarchs were awarded a late power play but the Sharks were able to hang on for the 3-2 victory.
The Sharks overall record improves to 5-3-1-2 (13pts) and to 3-1-1-1 (8pts) at the DCU Center.
