LAST WEEK'S GAMES

Saturday, December 21 vs. Maine Mariners | 5-1 W

Worcester and Maine are two of the four teams fighting for fourth place and there is a not a lot of wiggle room among them.

He stopped 30 of 31 shots. Brenden Rons, Anthony Repaci, Anthony Callin, Matthew Kopperud and Cole Donhauser were the Railers goal scorers, in order. Rons, Kopperud, Callin and Repaci all had assists as well.

Sunday, December 22 vs. Maine Mariners | 8-5 L

At one point Worcester trailed by 5-2. Twice the Railers came back from a three-goal deficit to make it a one-goal game but could not tie it. Their best chance was after Jordan Kaplan scored 51 seconds into the third period to cut Maine's lead to 5-4, but the Mariners scored three of the game's last four goals. Worcester's point producers included the resurgent Anthony Callin, who was 2-1-3; Anthony Repaci with a pair of assists; Riley Piercey with a pair of assists; Matias Rajaniemi with a goal, his first point of the season in his 24th game; and Matthew Kopperud, Ryan Dickinson, Lincoln Hatten, and Mason Klee with an assist apiece.
