SHARKSPAGE

WorSharks Silenced By Sound Tigers, 2-1

The Worcester Sharks got a third period goal from Jonathan Cheechoo and another good goaltending performance from Alex Stalock, but that wasn’t enough as the WorSharks dropped a 2-1 Thursday night contest to the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts in front of 4,124 fans. The two teams meet again New Year’s Eve afternoon (1pm EST/10am PST) in Bridgeport.

Because of a prior commitment Sharkspage was unable to cover the game, but for folks interested in the particulars they can check out Bill Ballou’s game story and notes column in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. Michael Fornabaio of the Connecticut Post has the Bridgeport side of things in his article and a couple of blog posts.

As usual, both the WorSharks and Sound Tigers official sites have their own perspectives.
