SHARKSPAGE

Wingels, Hutton Mash Monarchs 3-1

The Worcester Sharks got a power play goal from Brandon Mashinter and a shorthanded goal from Tommy Wingels, along with a fantastic effort by goaltender Carter Hutton to defeat the Manchester Monarchs 3-1 at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire in front of a crowd of 5,184. Dan DaSilva had an empty net goal to round out the scoring for the WorSharks.

Sharkspage didn’t make the trip to The Granite State, so for folks interested in the particulars they can check out Bill Ballou of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette with his game story and notes column. The Manchester Union Leader must have forgotten there was a game Friday night as they apparently didn’t send anyone from their newspaper the four miles it would take for them to get to the Verizon Wireless Arena.

As usual, folks can also check out the WorSharks and Monarchs official sites.
